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 using the Official Closing Price on the primary stock exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) and may not represent the returns you would receive if shares were traded at other times. 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 CEO

Marie Chandoha
CEO of Charles Schwab
Investment Management, Inc.
and the funds covered
in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
Every so often, it can be a good idea to hit the pause button and reflect on what’s going well. The U.S. economy is one place to start: earlier this year, the current expansion became the second-longest on record. This strong performance has pushed unemployment to the lowest levels in decades, boosted the prospects of American businesses, and driven up the value of many investors’ portfolios.
Now comes the question of whether this prolonged strength could turn into too much of a good thing. Much attention of late has been focused on whether the current economic expansion is on a path to overheating, and rising inflation figures have added to those concerns. While inflation and rate hikes can sometimes end a bull run, there’s reason to believe that when inflation is rising, the risk of overreacting is often underestimated.
Charles Schwab Investment Management recently studied inflation data going back to 1982, and our findings may surprise you.1 Over the years, there has been no shortage of advice about the types of assets investors should add to protect their portfolios against rising inflation. But what we found is that no single asset class provides inflation protection on a consistent basis. In some cases, assets added to help protect against inflation actually introduced additional risk into an investor’s portfolio. Further, the common belief that fixed income and equities both consistently perform poorly in times of higher inflation turned out to be untrue. In the end, our study concluded that a thoughtful, well-diversified portfolio is the most effective approach for combatting inflation.
Of course no one knows for certain what the U.S. or global economy will bring over the coming years. But we believe investors who are able to stay diversified and keep their investing costs down will be better positioned to weather any near-term bumps and achieve their long-term financial goals. And a portfolio you can feel confident in, no matter what the market does, is a great thing to have.
Thank you for investing with Charles Schwab Investment Management. For more information about the Schwab International Equity ETFs, please continue reading this report. In addition, you can find further details about these funds by visiting our website at www.schwabfunds.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-877-824-5615.
Sincerely,
But we believe investors who are able to stay diversified and keep their investing costs down will be better positioned to weather any near-term bumps and achieve their long-term financial goals.
Past performance cannot guarantee future results.
Diversification cannot ensure a profit or eliminate the risk of investment losses.

The Investment Environment

Over the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2018, international equity markets were mixed as economic momentum slowed, dampened by uncertainties from several fronts, including trade, inflation, and geopolitical concerns. Following a long period of generally accommodative monetary policies, monetary tightening was imposed in several key economies. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar strengthened against a basket of foreign currencies as the U.S. economy picked up steam, adding to headwinds faced by emerging markets. In this environment, the MSCI EAFE® Index (Net)*, a broad measure of developed international equity performance, returned 4.39%, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net)* returned -0.68%. In comparison, in the U.S., the S&P 500® Index, a bellwether for the overall U.S. stock market, returned 19.66% for the reporting period.
During the 12-month reporting period, monetary policy measures for the most part remained generally accommodative. However, central banks in several developed international countries took tightening steps in anticipation of rising inflation amid elevated oil prices, expectations of increasing agricultural prices, and higher U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth. In July, the European Central Bank indicated that it would likely keep interest rates steady through next summer, but confirmed its plans to phase out its monthly asset purchase program by year-end. Also in July, the Bank of Japan announced that it would maintain a slightly negative short-term interest rate target and hold steady the size of its asset purchases. In August, despite ongoing uncertainties over the economy’s wider direction, the Bank of England raised its key official bank rate from 0.50% to 0.75%, following a quarter-point increase in November 2017. Central banks in key emerging market economies—including Argentina, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Turkey—raised their policy rates in response to inflation and exchange-rate pressures.

The Investment Environment (continued)

Globally, economic growth was uneven over the 12-month reporting period. Despite escalated trade tensions, the U.S. maintained its steady expansion, buoyed by tax reform, strong earnings, and still-accommodative financial conditions. Meanwhile, conditions softened in other regions. In Europe, economic growth slowed, subdued by higher inflation and tepid wage growth that constrained consumer spending. In the first two quarters of 2018, the eurozone economy expanded by 0.4%, down from 0.7% in the last two quarters of 2017. The United Kingdom’s economy continued its gradual albeit modest expansion. Meanwhile, Japan’s economy contracted slightly in the first quarter of 2018, for the first time since late 2015, but regained its modest upward trajectory by the end of the reporting period. Emerging markets were mixed. Several Asian economies, including China and India, showed some slowing but continued their upward path of economic expansion; others slowed more considerably. Brazil’s economy showed a slight increase in the second quarter of 2018, driven by public spending and household consumption, but GDP growth was hampered by nationwide trucker strikes in May and June, which led to its biggest decline in exports since 2014. Turkey’s economy stagnated over the period, a result of faulty monetary policy holding down interest rates amid soaring inflation, among other problems, leading to talk of possible recession. Largely reflecting supply shortfalls, global oil prices rose, from $47 per barrel to a high of $74 in early July before closing the reporting period at $70, lifting inflation in advanced and emerging market economies alike.

Schwab International Equity ETF as of August 31, 2018

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 is comprised of large and mid capitalization companies in developed countries outside the United States, as defined by the index provider. The index defines the large and mid capitalization universe as approximately the top 90% of the eligible universe. The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index which, when taken together, are expected to perform similarly to the index as a whole. Due to the use of representative sampling, the fund may not hold all of the securities included in the index.
Market Highlights. International stocks had modest returns over the 12-month reporting period amid slowing economic growth and escalating trade tensions. Inflation climbed though remained relatively subdued, while oil prices rose to levels not seen in years. Several central banks, including the Bank of England, took measured steps toward more normalized short-term interest rates, while others, including the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank, left monetary policy unchanged for the time being. Meanwhile, many international currencies depreciated against the U.S. dollar, generally reducing returns on overseas investments in U.S. dollar terms. Within the index, stocks from Israel were the top performers, while stocks from Spain lagged by comparison.
Performance. During the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2018, the fund generally tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 4.21% and its NAV return was 4.70%. The index returned 4.70%1 during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
Contributors and Detractors. Japanese stocks were the largest contributors to the total return of the fund. Stocks from Japan represented an average weight of approximately 22% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 9% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market is electronics and entertainment company Sony Corporation. The fund’s holdings of Sony Corporation returned approximately 46% in U.S. dollar terms. Stocks from the United Kingdom also meaningfully contributed to the total return of the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 16% of the fund’s investments and returning approximately 5% in U.S. dollar terms.
Stocks from Spain were the largest detractors from the total return of the fund. Spanish stocks represented an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately -9% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market is retail and commercial bank Banco Santander S.A. The fund’s holdings of Banco Santander S.A. returned approximately -20% in U.S. dollar terms. Stocks from Italy also detracted from the total return on the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 2% of the fund’s investments and returning approximately -6% in U.S. dollar terms.

Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF as of August 31, 2018

The Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the FTSE Emerging Index (the index). The index is comprised of large and mid capitalization companies in emerging market countries, as defined by the index provider. The index defines the large and mid capitalization universe as approximately the top 90% of the eligible universe. The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index which, when taken together, are expected to perform similarly to the index as a whole. Due to the use of representative sampling, the fund may not hold all of the securities included in the index.
Market Highlights. Emerging-market stocks fell over the 12-month reporting period amid rising U.S. interest rates, a strong U.S. dollar, and heightened market and currency volatility. Sharply rising inflation and a falling Turkish lira sparked fears of a larger crisis, while commodity prices continued to fluctuate based on current investor sentiment. Global economic growth softened and trade tensions escalated between the U.S. and several other countries, including China and Mexico, which dampened demand for emerging-market equities and other perceived riskier assets. Many emerging-market currencies depreciated against the U.S. dollar over the reporting period, generally reducing returns on overseas investments in U.S. dollar terms. Within the index, Qatar was the top performer while Turkey lagged behind.
Performance. During the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2018, the fund generally tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was -1.94% and its NAV return was -1.79%. The index returned -1.66%1 during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.

Performance and Fund Facts as of August 31, 2018

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month end, please visit www.schwabfunds.com/schwabetfs_prospectus.

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 cannot be invested in directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized.
For index definitions, please see the Glossary.
Shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than the net asset value (NAV). Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in other nations.
Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as international investing, as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume.
Index ownership — FTSE is a trademark of the London Stock Exchange Group companies (LSEG) and is used by the fund under license. The Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by FTSE nor LSEG, and neither FTSE nor LSEG makes any representation regarding the advisability of investing in shares of the fund. Fees payable under the license are paid by the investment adviser.
* Inception (1/14/10) 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 or sale of fund shares.
2 ETF performance must be shown based on both a market price and NAV basis. The fund’s per share 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 using the Official Closing Price on the primary stock exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) and may not represent the returns you would receive if shares were traded at other times. 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.
3 The total return cited for the index is calculated net of foreign withholding taxes; the underlying tax rate information is available from FTSE.
4 Source for category information: Morningstar, Inc. The Morningstar Category return represents all passively- and actively-managed ETFs within the category as of the report date.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares; and, (2) ongoing costs, including management fees.
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 March 1, 2018 and held through August 31, 2018.
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, including any brokerage commissions you may pay when purchasing or selling shares of a fund. Therefore, the hypothetical return lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Business Structure of the Funds:
Each of the funds 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 operational funds in the trust as of the end of the period, including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:

The funds issue and redeem shares at their net asset value per share (NAV) only in large blocks of shares, typically 100,000 shares or more (Creation Units). These transactions are usually in exchange for a basket of securities and/or an amount of cash. As a practical matter, only institutions or large investors purchase or redeem Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the funds are not redeemable securities.
Individual shares of the funds trade on national securities exchanges and elsewhere during the trading day and can only be bought and sold at market prices throughout the trading day through a broker-dealer. Because fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.

    
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in their preparation of financial statements. The funds follow 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 funds may invest in certain other investment companies (underlying funds). For specific investments in underlying funds, please refer to the complete schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-CSR(S) for this reporting period, which is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). For more information about the underlying funds’ operations and policies, please refer to those funds’ semiannual and annual reports, which are filed with the SEC.
(a) Security Valuation:
Under procedures approved by the funds’ Board of Trustees (the Board), the investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair market value. Among other things, these procedures allow the funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
•   Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: Traded securities are valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, at the mean of 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.

Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
•   Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when it is de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; or when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Each fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures.
•   Bonds and notes: Fixed income investments are generally valued using an evaluated price at the mid-point of the bid/ask spread provided by an approved, independent pricing service (mid-price). To determine the evaluated mid-price, a pricing service may use a variety of techniques and inputs. Techniques may include, but are not limited to, spread models that calculate an investment-specific price relative to a benchmark or yield curve models that establish a price based on yields of comparable bonds along a range of maturities. Inputs differ by valuation approach and technique, as appropriate, and examples of inputs may include, but are not limited to, interest rates, market conditions, comparable bonds, market trades, projected cash flows, credit reviews and issuer news.
•   Futures contracts: Futures contracts are valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges.
•   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 funds disclose the fair value of their 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 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 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.
•   Level 3significant 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of August 31, 2018 are disclosed in the Condensed 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 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 a 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. Each fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. The terms of the securities lending agreement allow the funds or the lending agent to terminate any loan at any given time and the securities must be returned within the earlier of the standard trade settlement period or the specified time period under the relevant securities lending agreement. Securities lending income, as disclosed in each 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 a fund and the lending agent. The aggregate market value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed one-third of the total assets of a fund, including collateral received from the loan. Securities lending fees paid to the unaffiliated lending agent start at 10% of gross lending revenue, with subsequent breakpoints to a low of 7.5%. Any expenses charged by the cash collateral fund are in addition to these fees.
As of August 31, 2018, the funds had securities on loan, all of which were classified as common stocks. The value of the securities on loan and the related collateral as of August 31, 2018, if any, are disclosed in each fund’s Condensed Portfolio Holdings. The value of the securities on loan and the investment of cash collateral are also disclosed in each 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. 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 difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange appreciation or depreciation arises from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period. These realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are reported in foreign currency transactions or translations on the Statement of Operations. The funds do not isolate the portion of the fluctuations on investments resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Gains realized by the funds on the sale of securities in certain foreign countries may be subject to non-U.S. taxes. In those instances, the funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.
When a fund closes out a futures 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.

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. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
Income received from foreign sources may result in withholding tax. Withholding taxes are accrued at the same time as the related income if the tax rate is fixed and known, unless a tax withheld is reclaimable from the local tax authorities in which case it is recorded as receivable. If the tax rate is not known or estimable, such expense or reclaim receivable is recorded when the net proceeds are received.
In 2015, the funds filed claims to recover taxes previously withheld in certain European Union countries on the basis that those countries had purportedly violated certain provisions in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. These filings are subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings within these countries, and all professional fees associated with these filings have been paid by the investment adviser.
(e) Expenses:
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (Advisory Agreement) between Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM or the investment adviser) and the trust, the investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of each fund, excluding taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses. Taxes, any brokerage expenses and extraordinary or non-routine expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund.
(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 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 funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized 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) Foreign Taxes:
The funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, corporate events, foreign currency exchanges and capital gains on investments. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in foreign markets in which the funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the funds and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Foreign taxes payable as of August 31, 2018, if any, are reflected in each fund’s 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 attributable to these arrangements to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(k) Recent Accounting Standards:
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)” (ASU 2018-13) which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurement by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. The funds are permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The funds have early adopted certain removed or modified disclosures, including the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of transfers between levels upon issuance of ASU 2018-13, and have delayed adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. At this time, management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the additional disclosures will have on the funds’ financial statements.

    
3. Risk Factors:
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
Market Risk. Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.
Investment Style Risk. The funds are not actively managed. Therefore, each fund follows the securities included in its respective index during upturns as well as downturns. Because of their indexing strategies, the funds do not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of the funds’ expenses, the funds’ performance may be below that of their respective 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, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
Market Capitalization Risk. Securities issued by companies of different market capitalizations tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when securities of a particular market capitalization fall behind other types of investments, a fund’s performance could be impacted.
Large-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in large-cap company stocks. Large-cap companies are generally more mature and the securities issued by these companies may not be able to reach the same levels of growth as the securities issued by small- or mid-cap companies.
Mid-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in mid-cap company stocks. Mid-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies and the value of securities issued by these companies may move sharply.
Small-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in small-cap company stocks. Securities issued by small-cap companies may be riskier than those issued by larger companies, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns.
Foreign Investment Risk. A fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers involve certain risks that may be 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 a fund’s investments, and could impair the fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. There is a risk that investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign securities also include American Depositary receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary receipts (GDRs), and European Depositary receipts (EDRs), which are receipts issued by U.S. and foreign banks that represent shares of foreign-based corporations. 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

Financial Notes (continued)

3. Risk Factors (continued):
emerging markets, may be more volatile. To the extent a fund’s investments in a single country or a limited number of countries represent a large percentage of the fund’s assets, the fund’s performance may be adversely affected by the economic, political, regulatory and social conditions in those countries and the fund’s price may be more volatile than the price of a fund that is geographically diversified.
Emerging Markets Risk. Certain funds invest in emerging markets. 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 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 developed countries. As a result, there may be an increased risk of illiquidity and price volatility associated with a fund’s investments in emerging market countries, which may be magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, and, at times, it may be difficult to value such investments.
Sampling Index Tracking Risk. Each fund uses statistical sampling techniques, and as a result, a fund may not fully replicate its respective index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, a fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Because each fund utilizes a sampling approach, it may not track the return of its respective index as well as it would if a fund purchased all of the securities in its index.
Tracking Error Risk. As index funds, each fund seeks to track the performance of its respective index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and the index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.
Derivatives Risk. Each fund may invest in derivative instruments. The principal types of derivatives a fund may use are futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specific price on a specific day. A fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Certain of these risks, such as market risk and liquidity risk, are discussed elsewhere in this section. A fund’s use of derivatives is also subject to leverage risk, credit risk, lack of availability risk, valuation risk, correlation risk and tax risk. Leverage risk is the risk that use of derivatives may magnify the effect of any decrease or increase in the value of the fund’s portfolio securities. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations. Lack of availability risk is the risk that suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Valuation risk is the risk that a particular derivative may be valued incorrectly. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Tax risk is the risk that the use of derivatives may cause a fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains. A fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the fund’s performance, increase the fund’s volatility, and cause the fund to lose more than the initial amount invested. Furthermore, the use of derivatives subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) could cause the fund to become a commodity pool, which would require the fund to comply with certain CFTC rules.
Liquidity Risk. A fund may be unable to sell certain securities, such as illiquid securities, readily at a favorable time or price, or the fund may have to sell them at a loss.
Securities Lending Risk. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in, or delay in recovery of, the loaned securities if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
Concentration Risk. To the extent that a 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 fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more vulnerable to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
Market Trading Risk. Although fund shares are listed on national securities exchanges, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for fund shares will develop or be maintained. If an active market is not maintained, investors may find it difficult to buy or sell fund shares.
Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. 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 a fund will approximate the fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. An investor may pay more than NAV when buying shares of a fund in the secondary market, and an investor may receive less than NAV when selling those shares in the secondary market. The market price of fund shares may deviate, sometimes significantly, from NAV during periods of market volatility or as a result of other factors

impacting foreign securities, including liquidity, irregular trading activity and timing differences between foreign markets where securities trade and the secondary market where fund shares are sold. (See the unaudited Frequency Distribution of Discounts and Premiums in Other Information for an overview showing the frequency at which the daily closing price was at a discount or a premium to a fund’s daily NAV.)
Please refer to the funds’ prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the funds.

    
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
Investment Adviser
CSIM, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement between CSIM and the trust.
For its advisory services to the funds, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on a percentage of each fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
Interfund Transactions
The funds may engage in direct transactions with certain other funds in the Fund Complex when permitted by applicable law. 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/or officers. For the period ended August 31, 2018, each fund’s total aggregate security transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex as well as any realized gains (losses) were as follows:
  Total Aggregate Transactions Realized Gains (Losses)
Schwab International Equity ETF $2,499,354 ($1,165,191)
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF 2,611,455
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF 62,182,623 (13,079,523)
Interfund Borrowing and Lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review of the Board. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.
Other Affiliated Transactions
The professional fees related to foreign withholding tax claims discussed in financial note 2 were non-routine expenses. The investment adviser agreed to pay these professional fees, which were paid in a prior reporting period and are subject to reimbursement by the funds to the extent the funds are able to successfully recover taxes withheld in the future.
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF and Schwab International Equity ETF have recovered previously withheld foreign taxes from Poland and Finland, respectively. The payments received by Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF and Schwab International Equity ETF amounted to $262,643 and $148,526, respectively, and are recorded in each fund’s Statement of Operations. The investment adviser has paid upfront professional fees associated with recovering these foreign taxes in the amount of $98,284 for Schwab International Equity ETF. That amount has been reimbursed to the investment adviser by Schwab International Equity ETF.
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF is expecting to recover previously withheld foreign taxes from Finland. There has been uncertainty surrounding the timing of when the fund will receive payment from Finland. The expected payment to be received is $62,775 and is recorded in the fund’s Statement of Operations, and a corresponding receivable has been recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities until the fund receives payment. The investment adviser had paid upfront professional fees associated with recovering these foreign taxes in the amount of $2,090. The fund will reimburse $2,090 to the investment adviser when the fund receives payment from Finland, and a payable has been recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the amount due to the adviser.
As of August 31, 2018, there was no balance of professional fees related to foreign withholding tax subject to future reimbursement by the investment adviser for Schwab International Equity ETF, Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF and Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF.
No other amounts for additional tax reclaims are reflected in the financial statements due to the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate resolution of proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these claims, and the potential timing of payment.

    
5. Other Service Providers:
SEI Investments Distribution Co. is the principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the funds.
State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) 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 also serves as custodian and accountant for the funds. The custodian is responsible for the daily safekeeping of securities and cash held by the funds. The funds’ accountant maintains all books and records related to the funds’ transactions.

6. 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 does not pay any interested or non-interested trustees (independent trustees). The independent trustees are paid by CSIM. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

    
7. Borrowing from Banks:
During the period, the funds were participants with other U.S. registered investment companies managed by CSIM in a joint, syndicated, committed $555 million line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), which matured on October 5, 2017. On October 5, 2017, the Syndicated Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with an increased line of $605 million, maturing on October 4, 2018. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to CSIM paying the interest charged on any borrowings by a fund, CSIM paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the funds’ proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility.
On December 1, 2017, the funds became participants with other U.S. registered investment companies managed by CSIM in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $500 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street, which matures on November 30, 2018. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, CSIM pays interest on the amount a fund borrows. There were no borrowings from either line of credit during the period.
The funds also have access to custodian overdraft facilities. A fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is paid by CSIM. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

    
8. Derivatives:
Certain funds entered into equity index futures contracts during the report period. The funds invested in futures contracts to equitize available cash. The current value and variation margin for futures contracts held at August 31, 2018 are presented on the Condensed 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 funds’ accounting policies with respect to futures contracts and financial note 3 for disclosures concerning the risks of investing in futures contracts. During the period ended August 31, 2018, the month-end average notional amounts of futures contracts held by the funds and the month-end average number of contracts held were as follows:
  Notional Amounts Number of Contracts
Schwab International Equity ETF $61,249,822 612
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF 6,571,770 65
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF 12,475,374 224

    
9. Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities:
For the period ended August 31, 2018, purchases and sales of securities (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term obligations) were as follows:
  Purchases

Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF 1,517,779,688 892,904,764

    
10. In-Kind Transactions:
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund often 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 are subject to a standard creation transaction fee and a
46

Schwab International Equity ETFs
Financial Notes (continued)

10. In-Kind Transactions (continued):
standard redemption transaction fee paid to the custodian to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. Purchasers and redeemers of Creation Units for cash are subject to an additional variable charge paid to the fund that will offset the transaction costs to the fund of buying or selling portfolio securities. In addition, purchasers and redeemers of shares in Creation Units are responsible for payment of the costs of transferring securities to or out of the fund. From time to time, CSIM may cover the cost of any transaction fees when believed to be in the best interests of a fund.
The in-kind transactions for the period ended August 31, 2018, were as follows:
  In-Kind Purchases

In-Kind Sales

Schwab International Equity ETF $4,359,349,898 $—
Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF 747,654,404 115,678,620
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF 326,031,489 26,231,820
For the period ended August 31, 2018, where applicable, the funds realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of 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 capital received from investors 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 August 31, 2018 are disclosed in the funds’ Statements of Operations, if any.

The tax cost of the funds’ investments, disclosed above, have been adjusted from their book amounts to reflect these unrealized appreciation or depreciation differences, as applicable.

Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of August 31, 2018, the funds made the following reclassifications:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Schwab Strategic Trust and Shareholders of Schwab International Equity ETF, Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF and Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the condensed portfolio holdings, of Schwab International Equity ETF, Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF and Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF (three of the funds constituting Schwab Strategic Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of August 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Frequency Distribution of Discounts and Premiums
Market Price vs. NAV as of August 31, 2018
The following charts are provided to show the frequency at which the daily closing market price on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (Exchange), the secondary market for shares of each fund, was at a discount or premium to such fund’s daily NAV. The “Market Price” of each fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and lowest offer on the Exchange, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. The discount or premium is the percentage difference between the NAV and the Market Price of a fund. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of NAV. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of NAV. The NAV of each Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of each fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as supply and demand. Shares are bought and sold at market prices, which may be higher or lower than the NAV. The data presented below represents past performance and cannot be used to predict future results. The chart does not include days in which the NAV equals the Market Price.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) requires that 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 (the Agreement) between Schwab Strategic Trust (the Trust) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab International Equity ETF, Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF and Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF (the Funds), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about affiliates, personnel, business goals and priorities, profitability, third-party oversight, corporate structure and operations. The Board also receives data provided by an independent provider of investment company data. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Funds that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to the Funds’ operations and performance, legal and compliance matters, risk management, portfolio turnover, and sales and marketing activity. The Independent Trustees receive advice from Independent Trustees’ legal counsel, 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 Funds at meetings held on April 26, 2018 and June 5, 2018, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds for an additional one-year term at the meeting held on June 5, 2018. The Board’s approval of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Funds was based on
consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
1. the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds;
2. each Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable exchange-traded funds;
3. each Fund’s 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 the 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 Funds grow 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 Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s experience, track record, compliance program, resources dedicated to hiring and retaining qualified personnel, and information security resources. The Trustees also considered information provided by CSIM relating to the Funds’ portfolio management team, portfolio strategy and risk oversight structure, and internal investment guidelines. The Trustees also considered investments in CSIM’s infrastructure. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s reputation in connection with the OneSource exchange-traded fund offering 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 provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
Fund Performance. The Board considered each Fund’s performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees considered each Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other exchange-traded funds and applicable indices/benchmarks, in light of total return and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the selection criteria and composition of the peer category. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Trustees considered the risk profile for such Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of the Fund. The Trustees further considered

Schwab International Equity ETFs  |  Annual Report

 

Schwab International Equity ETFs
the level of Fund performance in the context of their review of Fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below and also noted that performance is reviewed throughout the year by a designated committee of the Board and by the Board. 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 Funds.
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Funds’ expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement and each Fund’s operating expense ratio, in each case in comparison to those of other comparable exchange-traded funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees noted that each Fund’s operating expense ratio was below the average operating expense ratio charged by other funds in its peer group. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to mutual funds that it manages. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Funds are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
Profitability. The Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly, and reviewed profitability on a pre-tax basis, without regard to distribution expenses. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses. The Trustees also reviewed profitability of CSIM relating to the Schwab fund complex as a whole, noting the benefit to Fund shareholders of being part of the Schwab fund complex, including the allocations of certain fixed costs across the funds in the
complex. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Funds, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Funds, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability with respect to the Funds under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Funds 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 Funds.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to the Funds’ shareholders by way of the relatively low advisory fee and unitary fee structure of the Funds. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that each 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 Funds and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Funds is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

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.
Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index  An index that represents securities that are SEC registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. The index excludes certain types of securities, including state and local government series bonds, structured notes embedded with swaps or other special features, private placements, floating rate securities, inflation-linked bonds and Eurobonds.
Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury Bills 1–3 Month Index  An index that includes all publicly issued zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Bills that have a remaining maturity of less than 3 months but more than 1 month, are rated investment grade and have $250 million or more of outstanding face value. It excludes zero-coupon STRIPS.
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.

The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes.
FTSE Developed Small Cap ex US Liquid Index (Net)  An index that is comprised of small-cap companies in developed countries, excluding the United States, as defined by the index provider. The index defines the small-cap universe as approximately the bottom 10% of the eligible universe with a minimum free float capitalization of $150 million. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes.
FTSE Emerging Index (Net)  An index comprised of large- and mid-cap companies in emerging countries, as defined by the index provider.

liquidity  The ability to convert a security or asset quickly into cash.
market cap, market capitalization  The value of a company as determined by the total value of all shares of its stock outstanding. Free-float market capitalization is a variation of market capitalization that only includes shares generally available to the public, and excludes shares of a company held by entities such as the government. Modified market capitalization weighting represents a mix between conventional market capitalization weighting and equal weighting.
market price return  The return based on the change in market price per share of the fund over a given time period. Market price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at market price.
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.

MSCI EAFE Index (Net)  A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes; returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net)  A free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets. This series approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
net asset value (NAV)  The value of one share of a fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets, subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding.
NAV return  The return based on the change in NAV of the fund over a given time period. NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund.

outstanding shares, shares outstanding  When speaking of the fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.

price-to-earnings ratio (P/E)  The market price of a company’s stock compared with earnings over the past year. A mutual fund’s P/E is the weighted average of the P/E of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
primary market  The market that deals with the issuance of new securities.
rights and warrants  Rights and warrants are types of securities that entitle the holder to purchase a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price for a specific period of time. Rights allow a shareholder to buy more shares directly from the company, usually at a
price somewhat lower than the current market price of the outstanding shares. Warrants are usually issued with bonds and preferred stock. Rights and warrants can trade on the market separately from the company’s stock. The prices of rights and warrants do not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying common stock. Rights usually expire within a few weeks of issuance, while warrants may not expire for several years. If a right or warrant is not exercised within the specified time period, it will become worthless and a fund will lose the purchase price it paid for the right or warrant and the right to purchase the underlying security.
Russell 2000 Index  An index that measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.
S&P 500 Index  An index that is designed to measure the performance of 500 leading publicly traded companies from a broad range of industries.
sampling  If a fund uses a sampling method, the fund will not fully replicate the benchmark index and may hold securities not included in the index. A fund that utilizes a sampling approach may not track the return of the index.
secondary market  The market in which investors purchase securities from other investors rather than directly from the issuing companies. Organized exchanges facilitate the trading of securities in the secondary market.
spread  The gap between bid and ask prices of a security.
stock  A share of ownership, or equity, in the issuing company.
total return  The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.
tracking error  The difference between the performance of the fund and its benchmark index, positive or negative.

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 cannot be invested in directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized.
For index definitions, please see the Glossary.
Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares.
Shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than the net asset value (NAV). Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

* Total returns shown are since the fund’s inception date of October 11, 2017.
1 ETF performance must be shown based on both a market price and NAV basis. The fund’s per share 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 using the Official Closing Price on the primary stock exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) and may not represent the returns you would receive if shares were traded at other times. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

Schwab U.S. Equity ETFs
From the CEO

Marie Chandoha
CEO of Charles Schwab
Investment Management, Inc.
and the funds covered
in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
Every so often, it can be a good idea to hit the pause button and reflect on what’s going well. The U.S. economy is one place to start: earlier this year, the current expansion became the second-longest on record. This strong performance has pushed unemployment to the lowest levels in decades, boosted the prospects of American businesses, and driven up the value of many investors’ portfolios.
Now comes the question of whether this prolonged strength could turn into too much of a good thing. Much attention of late has been focused on whether the current economic expansion is on the path to overheating, and rising inflation figures have added to those concerns. While inflation and rate hikes can sometimes end a bull run, there’s reason to believe that when inflation is rising, the risk of overreacting is often underestimated.
Charles Schwab Investment Management recently studied inflation data going back to 1982, and our findings may surprise you.1 Over the years, there has been no shortage of advice about the types of assets investors should add to protect their portfolios against rising inflation. But what we found is that no single asset class provides inflation protection on a consistent basis. In some cases, assets added to help protect against inflation actually introduced additional risk into an investor’s portfolio. Further, the common belief that fixed income and equities both consistently perform poorly in times of higher inflation turned out to be untrue. In the end, our study concluded that a thoughtful, well-diversified portfolio is the most effective approach for combatting inflation.
Of course no one knows for certain what the economy or the bull market, now in its 10th year, will bring over the coming years. But we believe investors who are able to stay diversified and keep their investing costs down will be better positioned to weather near-term bumps and achieve their long-term financial goals. And a portfolio you can feel confident in, no matter what the market does, is a great thing to have.
Thank you for investing with Charles Schwab Investment Management. For more information about the Schwab U.S. Equity ETFs, please continue reading this report. In addition, you can find further details about these funds by visiting our website at www.schwabfunds.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-877-824-5615.
Sincerely,

The Investment Environment

Over the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2018, U.S. equity markets generated strong returns. Steady economic growth, solid corporate earnings, and robust consumer spending helped propel U.S. stock markets to record highs during the reporting period. The U.S. dollar strengthened against a basket of foreign currencies as the economy picked up steam. In this environment, the S&P 500® Index, a bellwether for the overall U.S. stock market, returned 19.66% for the reporting period, while the Dow Jones U.S. Mid-Cap Total Stock Market Index and the Russell 2000® Index returned 21.42% and 25.45%, respectively. Markets outside the U.S. were significantly weaker: The MSCI EAFE® Index (Net)*, a broad measure of developed international equity performance, returned 4.39% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net)* returned -0.68%.
Global economic growth was uneven over the 12-month reporting period. The U.S. maintained its steady expansion, buoyed by tax reform, strong earnings, and still-accommodative financial conditions. In contrast, growth in parts of Europe softened in the second half of the period, subdued by higher inflation and tepid wage growth that constrained consumer spending. Trade issues dominated headlines in the second half of the period, with the U.S. imposing a series of tariffs on goods and services from multiple trading partners—most notably China—and China retaliating with similar measures. Late in the reporting period, the U.S. and Mexico reached a deal to revamp parts of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and last-minute negotiations with Canada intensified. While inflation remained mostly in check, both developed and emerging economies saw higher rates toward the end of the reporting period, reflecting higher prices for key commodities, particularly oil. In response to the economic environment, several central banks, particularly in developing economies, tightened their monetary policies.
In the U.S., the Federal Reserve (Fed) continued its efforts toward a more normalized interest rate environment. The Fed raised the federal funds rate by 0.25% at its December meeting, under then-Chair Janet Yellen, and in both March and June under her successor, Jerome Powell. In August, the Fed held rates steady but signaled the likelihood of two additional rate hikes before year-end, and short-term interest rates ended the reporting period in a target range of 1.75% to 2.00%. The Fed also began to slowly reduce the size of its balance sheet by allowing securities to mature without reinvesting the proceeds; as of the end of the reporting period, the Fed’s balance sheet stood at $4.2 trillion, down from $4.5 trillion when the program was announced in June 2017.

The Investment Environment (continued)

In the first half of the reporting period, U.S. equities rose steadily on expectations of coming policy changes, including tax reform, increased fiscal and infrastructure spending, and decreased financial regulation. The rally continued through January, when tax reform took effect. The upward momentum stalled in early February, however, when the Cboe Volatility Index®1 (or VIX®), a gauge of equity market volatility — spiked to levels not seen since 2015 after hitting its all-time low in November. This came after the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (Dow) plunged 1,600 points in a single day—its worst one-day point decline in its history. But that volatility was short-lived, moderating over the spring and summer, and the VIX® ended the reporting period slightly higher than where it began in September. By May, stocks had regained their upward trajectory. Strong corporate results also supported U.S. stocks, with many S&P 500® Index firms reporting better-than-expected earnings for the first two quarters of 2018. The S&P 500® Index and Nasdaq Composite Index ended the reporting period just shy of new highs they achieved a few days earlier, and the Dow closed just slightly under its all-time high which it hit in January 2018.
Over the reporting period, growth stocks outperformed value stocks, and small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks. From a sector standpoint, Information Technology was the strongest performer, recovering from a steep sell-off of tech stocks in the first quarter of 2018 to climb to a new high by period-end, supported by solid balance sheets and high levels of consumer confidence. Within the Information Technology sector, the strong performance was driven largely by a only handful of momentum stocks. The Consumer Discretionary sector was also strong for the period, benefiting from the ongoing strength of the U.S. economy and associated consumer confidence. The Energy sector experienced volatility over the reporting period to an ultimately strong result, recovering from a steep dive during the first three months of the year. The weakest sectors for the reporting period were Consumer Staples, which often exhibits weakness when the economy is strong, and Utilities and Telecommunication Services, which suffered from rising interest rates that can make their relatively high dividends less attractive to investors.
1 The Cboe Volatility Index® (or VIX®) is a key measure of market expectations of near-term volatility conveyed by S&P 500 stock index option prices.

Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF as of August 31, 2018

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 Index (the index). The index includes the largest 2,500 publicly traded U.S. companies for which pricing information is readily available. The index is a float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that reflects the shares of securities actually available to investors in the marketplace. The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index that, when taken together, are expected to perform similarly to the index as a whole. Due to the use of representative sampling, the fund may not hold all of the securities in the index.
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks continued their record run over the 12-month reporting period, with small-cap stocks slightly outperforming large-cap stocks, and growth outperforming value. Positive investor sentiment surrounding strong corporate earnings and solid U.S. economic growth supported U.S. equities, and outweighed concerns tied to trade tensions and rising inflation. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates three times over the reporting period, with market expectations for an additional two hikes in 2018. Within the index, stocks in the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors were among the better performers, while Consumer Staples and Utilities stocks underperformed by comparison.
Performance. During the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2018, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 20.17% and its NAV return was 20.20%. The index returned 20.20% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
Contributors and Detractors. The Information Technology sector contributed the most to the fund’s total return, and to the return of the index. Information Technology stocks represented an average weight of approximately 24% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 33% for the reporting period. One example from this sector is Apple, Inc. The fund’s holdings of Apple, Inc. returned approximately 41% for the reporting period. The Consumer Discretionary sector also provided a meaningful contribution to the return of the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 13% of the fund’s investments and returning approximately 29% for the reporting period.
While there were no sectors that detracted from the fund’s performance over the reporting period, the Telecommunication Services sector was the smallest contributor to the return of both the index and the fund. Telecommunication Services stocks represented an average weight of approximately 2% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 3% for the reporting period. One example from this sector is communications and digital entertainment company AT&T Inc. The fund’s holdings of AT&T Inc. returned approximately -10% for the reporting period. The Utilities sector was another small contributor to overall fund performance. Utilities stocks represented an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 2% for the reporting period.

Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF as of August 31, 2018

The Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Value Total Stock Market Index (the index). The index includes the large-cap value portion of the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index actually available to investors in the marketplace. The index includes the components ranked 1-750 by full market capitalization and that are classified as “value” based on a number of factors. The index is a float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index. As of August 31, 2018, the index was composed of 355 stocks. The fund will generally give the same weight to a given stock as the index does.
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks continued their record run over the 12-month reporting period, with small-cap stocks slightly outperforming large-cap stocks, and growth outperforming value. Positive investor sentiment surrounding strong corporate earnings and solid U.S. economic growth supported U.S. equities, and outweighed concerns tied to trade tensions and rising inflation. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates three times over the reporting period, with market expectations for an additional two hikes in 2018. Within the index, stocks in the Information Technology and Energy sectors were among the better performers, while Consumer Staples and Utilities stocks underperformed by comparison.
Performance. During the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2018, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 14.16% and its NAV return was 14.20%. The index returned 14.24% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
Contributors and Detractors. The Consumer Staples sector was the only detractor from the performance of the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 11% of the fund’s investments and returning approximately -1% for the reporting period. One example from this sector is tobacco company Philip Morris International Inc. The fund’s holdings of Philip Morris International Inc. returned approximately -30% for the reporting period. While there were no other sectors that detracted from overall fund performance, the Real Estate sector was the smallest contributor to the fund’s total return. Real Estate stocks represented an average weight of approximately 2% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 4% for the reporting period.
The Information Technology sector contributed the most to the fund’s total return, and to the return of the index. Information Technology stocks represented an average weight of approximately 17% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 35% for the reporting period. One example from this sector is technology company Microsoft Corp. The fund’s holdings of the Microsoft Corp. returned approximately 53% for the reporting period. The Financials sector also provided a meaningful contribution to the return of the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 20% of the fund’s investments and returning approximately 16% for the reporting period.

Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF as of August 31, 2018

The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100TM Index (the index). The index is designed to measure the performance of high-dividend-yielding stocks issued by U.S. companies that have a record of consistently paying dividends, selected for fundamental strength relative to their peers, based on financial ratios. The 100-component index is a subset of the Dow Jones U.S. Broad Market Index, excluding real estate investment trusts (REITs), master limited partnerships, preferred stocks, and convertibles. The index is modified market capitalization weighted. The fund will generally give the same weight to a given stock as the index does.
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks continued their record run over the 12-month reporting period, with small-cap stocks slightly outperforming large-cap stocks, and growth outperforming value. Positive investor sentiment surrounding strong corporate earnings and solid U.S. economic growth supported U.S. equities, and outweighed concerns tied to trade tensions and rising inflation. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates three times over the reporting period, with market expectations for an additional two hikes in 2018. Within the index, stocks in the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors were among the better performers, while Materials and Consumer Staples stocks underperformed by comparison.
Performance. During the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2018, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was 18.18% and its NAV return was 18.21%. The index returned 18.30% during the same period. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
Contributors and Detractors. While there were no detractors from the fund’s performance over the reporting period, the Materials sector was the smallest contributor to the return of both the index and the fund. The Materials sector, representing an average weight of approximately 4% of the fund’s investments, returned approximately -1% for the reporting period. One example from this sector is advanced materials and specialty additives company Eastman Chemical Co. The fund’s holdings of Eastman Chemical Co. returned approximately -10% for the reporting period. The Utilities sector was another small contributor to overall fund performance. The Utilities sector represented an average weight of less than 1% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 7% for the reporting period.
The Information Technology sector contributed the most to the fund’s total return, and to the return of the index. Information Technology stocks represented an average weight of approximately 21% of the fund’s investments and returned approximately 31% for the reporting period. One example from this sector is Intel Corp. The fund’s holdings of Intel Corp. returned approximately 41% for the reporting period. The Consumer Discretionary sector also provided a meaningful contribution to the return of the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 12% of the fund’s investments and returning approximately 29% for the reporting period.

Shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than the net asset value (NAV). Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

1 Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares.
2 ETF performance must be shown based on both a market price and NAV basis. The fund’s per share 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 using the Official Closing Price on the primary stock exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) and may not represent the returns you would receive if shares were traded at other times. 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.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares; and, (2) ongoing costs, including management fees.
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 March 1, 2018 and held through August 31, 2018.
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, including any brokerage commissions you may pay when purchasing or selling shares of a fund. Therefore, the hypothetical return lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Business Structure of the Funds:
Each of the funds 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 operational funds in the trust as of the end of the period, including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:

Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF™ Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index ETF
The funds issue and redeem shares at their net asset value per share (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/or an amount of cash. As a practical matter, only institutions or large investors purchase or redeem Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the funds are not redeemable securities.
Individual shares of the funds trade on national securities exchanges and elsewhere during the trading day and can only be bought and sold at market prices throughout the trading day through a broker-dealer. Because fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).
The Schwab 1000 Index ETF commenced operations on October 11, 2017.
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.

    
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in their preparation of financial statements. The funds follow 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 funds may invest in certain other investment companies (underlying funds). For specific investments in underlying funds, please refer to the complete schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-CSR(S) for this reporting period, which is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). For more information about the underlying funds’ operations and policies, please refer to those funds’ semiannual and annual reports, which are filed with the SEC.
(a) Security Valuation:
Under procedures approved by the funds’ Board of Trustees (the Board), the investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair market value. Among other things, these procedures allow the funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
87
Schwab U.S. Equity ETFs  |  Annual Report

 

Schwab U.S. Equity ETFs
Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
•   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 the mean of 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 each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when it is de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; or when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Each fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures.
•   Futures contracts: Futures contracts are valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges.
•   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 funds disclose the fair value of their 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 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 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.
•   Level 3significant 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of August 31, 2018 are disclosed in the Condensed 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 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 a 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. Each fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. The terms of the securities lending agreement allow the funds or the lending agent to terminate any loan at any given time and the securities must be returned within the earlier of the standard trade settlement period or the specified time period under the relevant securities lending agreement. Securities lending income, as disclosed in each 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 a fund and the lending agent. The aggregate market value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed one-third of the total assets of a fund, including collateral received from the loan. Securities lending fees paid to the unaffiliated lending agent start at 10% of gross lending revenue, with subsequent breakpoints to a low of 7.5%. Any expenses charged by the cash collateral fund are in addition to these fees.
As of August 31, 2018, the funds had securities on loan, all of which were classified as common stocks. The value of the securities on loan and the related collateral as of August 31, 2018, if any, are disclosed in each fund’s Condensed Portfolio Holdings. The value of the securities on loan and the investment of cash collateral are also disclosed in each 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.
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 funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
(e) Expenses:
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (Advisory Agreement) between Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM or the investment adviser) and the trust, the investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of each fund, excluding taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses. Taxes, any brokerage expenses and extraordinary or non-routine expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund.
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
The funds make distributions from net investment income, if any, quarterly and from 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 funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized 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 attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
(j) Recent Accounting Standards:
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)” (ASU 2018-13) which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurement by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. The funds are permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The funds have early adopted certain removed or modified disclosures, including the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of transfers between levels upon issuance of ASU 2018-13, and have delayed adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. At this time, management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the additional disclosures will have on the funds’ financial statements.

    
3. Risk Factors:
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
Market Risk. Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.
Investment Style Risk. The funds are not actively managed. Therefore, each fund follows the securities included in its respective index during upturns as well as downturns. Because of their indexing strategies, the funds do not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of the funds’ expenses, the funds’ performance may be below that of their respective index.
Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF primarily invests in dividend paying stocks. As a result, fund performance will correlate directly with the performance of the dividend paying stock segment of the stock market, and a fund may underperform funds that do not limit their investments to dividend paying stocks. If stocks held by a fund reduce or stop paying dividends, the fund’s ability to generate income may be affected.
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.
Market Capitalization Risk. Securities issued by companies of different market capitalizations tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when securities of a particular market capitalization fall behind other types of investments, a fund’s performance could be impacted.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
Large-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in large-cap company stocks. Large-cap companies are generally more mature and the securities issued by these companies may not be able to reach the same levels of growth as the securities issued by small- or mid-cap companies.
Mid-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in mid-cap company stocks. Mid-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies and the value of securities issued by these companies may move sharply.
Small-Cap Company Risk. Certain funds invest in small-cap company stocks. Securities issued by small-cap companies may be riskier than those issued by larger companies, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns.
Growth Investing Risk. Certain funds invest in growth stocks. Growth stocks can be volatile. Growth companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their businesses and 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. 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 funds emphasize a “value” style of investing, which targets undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on “value” securities may not move in tandem with the returns on other styles of investing or the stock market in general.
Sampling Index Tracking Risk. Certain funds may not fully replicate the index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, a fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Because certain funds utilize a sampling approach they may not track the return of their respective index as well as they would if the funds purchased all of the securities in their respective index.
Tracking Error Risk. As index funds, each fund seeks to track the performance of its respective index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and the index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.
Derivatives Risk. Each fund may invest in derivative instruments. The principal types of derivatives a fund may use are futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specific price on a specific day. A fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Certain of these risks, such as market risk and liquidity risk, are discussed elsewhere in this section. A fund’s use of derivatives is also subject to leverage risk, credit risk, lack of availability risk, valuation risk, correlation risk and tax risk. Leverage risk is the risk that use of derivatives may magnify the effect of any decrease or increase in the value of the fund’s portfolio securities. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations. Lack of availability risk is the risk that suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Valuation risk is the risk that a particular derivative may be valued incorrectly. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Tax risk is the risk that the use of derivatives may cause a fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains. A fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the fund’s performance, increase the fund’s volatility, and cause the fund to lose more than the initial amount invested. Furthermore, the use of derivatives subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) could cause the fund to become a commodity pool, which would require the fund to comply with certain CFTC rules.
Liquidity Risk. A fund may be unable to sell certain securities, such as illiquid securities, readily at a favorable time or price, or the fund may have to sell them at a loss.
Securities Lending Risk. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in, or delay in recovery of, the loaned securities if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
Concentration Risk. To the extent that a 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 fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more vulnerable to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
Market Trading Risk. Although fund shares are listed on national securities exchanges, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for fund shares will develop or be maintained. If an active market is not maintained, investors may find it difficult to buy or sell fund shares.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. 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 a fund will approximate the fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. An investor may pay more than NAV when buying shares of a fund in the secondary market, and an investor may receive less than NAV when selling those shares in the secondary market. The market price of fund shares may deviate, sometimes significantly, from NAV during periods of market volatility. (See the unaudited Frequency Distribution of Discounts and Premiums in Other Information for an overview showing the frequency at which the daily closing price was at a discount or a premium to a fund’s daily NAV.)
Please refer to the funds’ prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the funds.

    
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
Interfund Transactions
The funds may engage in direct transactions with certain other funds in the Fund Complex when permitted by applicable law. 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/or officers. For the period ended August 31, 2018, each fund’s total aggregate security transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex as well as any realized gains (losses) were as follows:
  Total Aggregate Transactions Realized Gains (Losses)
Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF $115,871,781 ($10,238,469)

Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF 109,322,665 (8,970,733)
*Since commencement of operations on October 11, 2017.
Interfund Borrowing and Lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review of the Board. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.

    
5. Other Service Providers:
SEI Investments Distribution Co. is the principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the funds.
State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) 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 also serves as custodian and accountant for the funds. The custodian is responsible for the daily safekeeping of securities and cash held by the funds. The funds’ accountant maintains all books and records related to the funds’ transactions.

    
6. 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 does not pay any interested or non-interested trustees (independent trustees). The independent trustees are paid by CSIM. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

    
7. Borrowing from Banks:
During the period, the funds, except for Schwab 1000 Index ETF, were participants with other U.S. registered investment companies managed by CSIM in a joint, syndicated, committed $555 million line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), which matured on October 5, 2017. On October 5, 2017, all funds became participants in an amended Syndicated Credit Facility running for a new 364 day period with an increased line of $605 million, maturing on October 4, 2018. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to CSIM paying the interest charged on any borrowings by a fund, CSIM paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the funds’ proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility.

7. Borrowing from Banks (continued):
On December 1, 2017, the funds became participants with other U.S. registered investment companies managed by CSIM in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $500 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street, which matures on November 30, 2018. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, CSIM pays interest on the amount a fund borrows. There were no borrowings from either line of credit during the period.
The funds also have access to custodian overdraft facilities. A fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is paid by CSIM. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

    
8. Derivatives:
Certain funds entered into equity index futures contracts during the report period. The funds invested in futures contracts to equitize available cash. The current value and variation margin for futures contracts held at August 31, 2018 are presented on the Condensed 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 funds’ accounting policies with respect to futures contracts and financial note 3 for disclosures concerning the risks of investing in futures contracts. During the period ended August 31, 2018, the month-end average notional amounts of futures contracts held by the funds and the month-end average number of contracts held were as follows:

10. In-Kind Transactions:
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund often 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 are subject to a standard creation transaction fee and a
94
Schwab U.S. Equity ETFs  |  Annual Report

 

Schwab U.S. Equity ETFs
Financial Notes (continued)

10. In-Kind Transactions (continued):
standard redemption transaction fee paid to the custodian to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. Purchasers and redeemers of Creation Units for cash are subject to an additional variable charge paid to the fund that will offset the transaction costs to the fund of buying or selling portfolio securities. In addition, purchasers and redeemers of shares in Creation Units are responsible for payment of the costs of transferring securities to or out of the fund. From time to time, CSIM may cover the cost of any transaction fees when believed to be in the best interests of a fund.
The in-kind transactions for the period ended August 31, 2018, were as follows:

*Since commencement of operations on October 11, 2017.
For the period ended August 31, 2018, where applicable, the funds realized net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of 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 capital received from investors 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 August 31, 2018 are disclosed in the funds’ Statements of Operations, if any.

The primary difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation or unrealized depreciation of investments is the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, realization for tax purposes of unrealized appreciation or depreciation on futures contracts and non-taxable dividends. The tax cost of the funds’ investments, disclosed above, have been adjusted from their book amounts to reflect these unrealized appreciation or depreciation differences, as applicable.
Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of August 31, 2018, the funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net capital gains before the expiration dates as follows:

Financial Notes (continued)

11. Federal Income Taxes (continued):
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of August 31, 2018, the funds made the following reclassifications:

Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Frequency Distribution of Discounts and Premiums
Market Price vs. NAV as of August 31, 2018
The following charts are provided to show the frequency at which the daily closing market price on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (Exchange), the secondary market for shares of each fund, was at a discount or premium to such fund’s daily NAV. The “Market Price” of each fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and lowest offer on the Exchange, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. The discount or premium is the percentage difference between the NAV and the Market Price of a fund. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of NAV. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of NAV. The NAV of each Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of each fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as supply and demand. Shares are bought and sold at market prices, which may be higher or lower than the NAV. The data presented below represents past performance and cannot be used to predict future results. The chart does not include days in which the NAV equals the Market Price.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) requires that 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 (the Agreement) between Schwab Strategic Trust (the Trust) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF, Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF, Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF, Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF, Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF, Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF, Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF and Schwab 1000 Index ETF (the Funds), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about affiliates, personnel, business goals and priorities, profitability, third-party oversight, corporate structure and operations. The Board also receives data provided by an independent provider of investment company data. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Funds that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to the Funds’ operations and performance, legal and compliance matters, risk management, portfolio turnover, and sales and marketing activity. The Independent Trustees receive advice from Independent Trustees’ legal counsel, 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 Funds at meetings held on April 26, 2018 and June 5, 2018, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds for an additional one-year term at the meeting held on June 5, 2018. The Board’s approval of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Funds was based on
consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
1. the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds;
2. each Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable exchange-traded funds;
3. each Fund’s 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 the 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 Funds grow 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 Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s experience, track record, compliance program, resources dedicated to hiring and retaining qualified personnel, and information security resources. The Trustees also considered information provided by CSIM relating to the Funds’ portfolio management team, portfolio strategy and risk oversight structure, and internal investment guidelines. The Trustees also considered investments in CSIM’s infrastructure. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s reputation in connection with the OneSource exchange-traded fund offering 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 provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
Fund Performance. The Board considered each Fund’s performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees considered each Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other exchange-traded funds and applicable indices/benchmarks, in light of total return and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the selection criteria and composition of the peer category. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Trustees considered the risk profile for such 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 their review of Fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below and
 
 
101
Schwab U.S. Equity ETFs  |  Annual Report

 

Schwab U.S. Equity ETFs
also noted that performance is reviewed throughout the year by a designated committee of the Board and by the Board. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Funds supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Funds’ expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement and each Fund’s operating expense ratio, in each case in comparison to those of other comparable exchange-traded funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees noted that each Fund’s operating expense ratio was well below the average operating expense ratio charged by other funds in its peer group. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to mutual funds that it manages. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Funds are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
Profitability. The Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly, and reviewed profitability on a pre-tax basis, without regard to distribution expenses. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses. The Trustees also reviewed profitability of CSIM relating to the Schwab fund complex as a whole, noting the benefit to Fund shareholders of being part of the Schwab fund complex, including the allocations of certain fixed costs across the funds in the complex. The Trustees also considered any other benefits
derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Funds, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Funds, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability with respect to the Funds under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Funds 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 Funds.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to the Funds’ shareholders by way of the relatively low advisory fee and unitary fee structure of the Funds. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that each 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 Funds and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Funds is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

market cap, market capitalization  The value of a company as determined by the total value of all shares of its stock outstanding. Free-float market capitalization is a variation of market capitalization that only includes shares generally available to the public, and excludes shares of a company held by entities such as the government. Modified market capitalization weighting represents a mix between conventional market capitalization weighting and equal weighting.
market price return  The return based on the change in market price per share of the fund over a given time period. Market price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at market price.
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.
MSCI EAFE Index (Net)  A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes; returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net)  A free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets. This series approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
net asset value (NAV)  The value of one share of a fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets, subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding.
NAV return  The return based on the change in NAV of the fund over a given time period. NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund.
offer (ask)  The lowest price at which an individual is willing to sell a security.
open  The price at which a security opened for trading on a given day.
outstanding shares, shares outstanding  When speaking of the fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.
price-to-book ratio (P/B)  The market price of a company’s stock compared with its “book value.” A mutual fund’s P/B is the weighted average of the P/B of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
price-to-earnings ratio (P/E)  The market price of a company’s stock compared with earnings over the past year. A mutual fund’s P/E is the weighted average of the P/E of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
primary market  The market that deals with the issuance of new securities.
rights and warrants  Rights and warrants are types of securities that entitle the holder to purchase a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price for a specific period of time. Rights allow a shareholder to buy more shares directly from the company, usually at a price somewhat lower than the current market price of the outstanding shares. Warrants are usually issued with bonds and preferred stock. Rights and warrants can trade on the market separately from the company’s stock. The prices of rights and warrants do not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying common stock. Rights usually expire within a few weeks of issuance, while warrants may not expire for several years. If a right or warrant is not exercised within the specified time period, it will become worthless and a fund will lose the purchase price it paid for the right or warrant and the right to purchase the underlying security.
Russell 1000 Index  An index that measures the performance of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, and represents approximately 92% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.
Russell 2000 Index  An index that measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.
S&P 500 Index  An index that is designed to measure the performance of 500 leading publicly traded companies from a broad range of industries.
Schwab 1000 Index  An index that represents the performance of the largest 1,000 publicly traded companies in the United States. As a result of corporate actions, the index may be comprised of more or less than 1,000 securities.
SEC yield  A standard yield calculation developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows for fairer comparisons of bond funds. It is based on the most recent 30-day period covered by the fund’s filings with the SEC. The yield figure reflects the dividends and interest earned during the period, after the deduction of the fund’s expenses. This is also referred to as the “standardized yield.”
sampling  If a fund uses a sampling method, the fund will not fully replicate the benchmark index and may hold securities not included in the index. A fund that utilizes a sampling approach may not track the return of the index.
secondary market  The market in which investors purchase securities from other investors rather than directly from the issuing companies. Organized exchanges facilitate the trading of securities in the secondary market.
spread  The gap between bid and ask prices of a security.
stock  A share of ownership, or equity, in the issuing company.
total return  The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.
tracking error  The difference between the performance of the fund and its benchmark index, positive or negative.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of August 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations and changes in each of their net assets for each of the periods indicated in the table below and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF, Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF, Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF, Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF, Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF, Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF, Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF, Schwab International Equity ETF, Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF and Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF: statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2018 and statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2018.

Schwab 1000 Index ETF: statements of operations and changes in net assets for the period October 11, 2017 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2018.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Table of Contents

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
