All fund and index figures on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. Index figures do not include trading and management costs, which would lower performance. Indices are unmanaged, and you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized. Redemption fees charged on shares sold or exchanged 30 days or less after purchasing them may affect share level returns.
Fund expenses may have been partially absorbed by CSIM. Without these reductions, the fund’s returns would have been lower. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
There are risks associated with investing in foreign companies, such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability, fluctuations in currency and exchange rates, and an increased risk of price volatility associated with less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements. Investing in emerging markets accentuates these risks. Investments in emerging markets may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries.
Bond funds are subject to increased risk of loss of principal during periods of volatile interest rates.

Dear Shareholder,
 
In the past year, financial markets were besieged with volatility and turmoil, while many economies across the globe experienced slower growth or recession, making investment conditions some of the most difficult in history. Although returns were relatively better in March, the fiscal year was characterized by two particularly bearish periods – the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009. In this environment, major international equity indices experienced significant declines. The MSCI EAFE Index, for example, was down 46% during the reporting period, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined 47%. On average, returns were down in all major sectors. The fixed income space, usually a bright spot in down markets, was not immune to the current market malady, with the Citigroup Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index down around 6%.
 
Within the Laudus Mondrian Fund Family, returns in the funds followed the general downdraft on equity and fixed income prices. In both the international and emerging market fund groups, returns were down between 40-50% on average, indicating that various un-hedged investment strategies were similarly affected by overall market declines. On the fixed income side, returns were down around 6%. In general, modest outperformance relative to funds’ respective benchmarks was primarily attributable to security selection and country allocation. Relative to peers, the Laudus Mondrian Funds performed well in spite of the down market. For more detail, please see the portfolio manager’s commentary in the following pages.
 
The Laudus Mondrian Funds are sub-advised by Mondrian Investment Partners Limited, a London-based institutional investment manager. Founded in 1990, Mondrian is renowned for its international expertise and its adherence to a consistent value-oriented investment philosophy. Mondrian manages more than $50 billion in assets for some of the world’s largest companies and public retirement plans.
 
In closing, I would remind you that should you have any questions about the funds we are available to answer them at 1-800-447-3332.
 
Thank you for investing with us.
 
Sincerely,

The Investment Environment
 
 
The past twelve months produced significant negative returns and high volatility in global capital markets, and nearly all major equity indexes lost more than 40%. Generally, U.S. equity markets fared slightly better than international ones, while fixed income outperformed both. Commodity indexes also lost value. Globally, losses were highly synchronized, exhibiting a pattern typical during periods of global economic weakness.
 
In the U.S., large-cap stocks lost about 38% for the period, but with a wide spread between growth- and value-style equities, as growth outperformed value by about 8%. U.S. small-caps slightly outperformed U.S. large-caps, losing just under 38%. U.S. small-cap growth stocks outperformed value, but still lost more than 36%. Internationally, the results were worse. International large-cap stocks lost nearly 47%, but outperformed international small-cap stocks, which were down more than 48%. As occurred in the U.S., international growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts, but the difference was less, with growth leading by around 3%.
 
 
What caused these weak returns, especially during a relatively short period of time of twelve months? In essence, the credit crisis that began in the summer of 2007 dominated the capital markets during the period. In September 2008, Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, while the U.S. government intervened in the operations of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and AIG. Several banks also failed, especially during the second half of the reporting period. Companies in all areas but especially in the financial services sector deleveraged their balance sheets. Over the past several years, individuals and companies borrowed significant amounts of capital. Individuals typically used the loans to purchase homes and autos. In turn, many financial companies leveraged their balance sheets to buy these loans and build and sell marketable securities composed of them, such as mortgage-backed securities. On the open market, these securities could be bought by institutional investors and hedge funds, for example. As credit tightened, many of the loans – both consumer and corporate – went into default, requiring firms to acquire capital to shore up their balance sheets or to sell assets to reduce their debt.
 
Investors and lenders were worried about the value of the debt on company balance sheets. In some cases, there were no bidders for the corporate obligations and securitized assets that were being offered for sale. Without bids, it became difficult to value these securities, and as default rates rose prices became even more depressed. Eventually, the solvency of corporations with large portfolios of leveraged debt was questioned. In this environment, investors took defensive action by reducing their corporate equity exposure. Thus, the equity markets declined precipitously as investors migrated to the safety of government debt.
 
A few areas performed well. One notable area was the U.S. Treasury market, generally considered the lowest default risk fixed income investment. Short-term Treasury bills gained about 1% during the period, and Treasury bonds maturing in the next ten to twenty years returned about 12%. More diversified fixed income investments also generated positive returns, typically around 3%, as investors flocked to defensive investments.
 
From a global sector perspective, financial stocks were down nearly 60% on average, primarily due to impacts following the credit crunch. Materials, down more than 50%, and Energy stocks, off about 40%, did poorly due to the deleveraging process described above and due to investors’ movements out of equity positions. Industrials and Consumer Discretionary stocks also lost between 40-50%, on average. On a relative basis,

The Investment Environment continued
 
global Health Care and Consumer Staples firms performed better, down around 22% and 30%, respectively; these sectors are generally considered to be defensive investments in times of economic or market stress.
 
Among major developed economies, Japan performed the best during the period, losing about 36% in U.S. dollar terms. The U.S. did slightly worse, down nearly 38%. Most European countries lost more than 45%. It is important to note that through most of the reporting period, the U.S. dollar rallied against the British pound and the Euro, pushing the European returns lower for U.S. dollar-based investors. Emerging markets as a group performed in line with developed markets, losing about 47% in the twelve-month period. A few emerging markets such as Russia lost nearly 70%, but a surprising number such as China did relatively well, losing about 35%.
 
The dollar’s gains also impacted commodity prices, and most commodity indexes were down more than 50% for the twelve-month period. Crude oil lost 67% for the period, in contrast to the rise in prices over the last few years. Metals and agricultural prices also declined, partially in response to expectations of slowing economies around the globe and thus a likelihood of lower demand. Gold was one relative bright spot among commodity returns, losing about 1% for the period.

Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund
 
 
The Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund Investor Shares returned -45.31% for the period since inception on 6/17/08, outperforming the benchmark MSCI EAFE Index (Net), which returned -47.37%. For the entire period, index returns were negative across all developed markets. The fund outperformed the benchmark primarily as a result of good stock selection.
 
All markets were significantly weaker during the period, but the overall impact of country allocation was very positive for returns. Exposure to the non-benchmark Taiwanese market was beneficial to returns. Additionally, the fund also benefited from underweight positions in smaller European markets such as Ireland, Austria and Greece. The fund’s underweight position in Germany was also helpful, as the German equity market fell sharply over the year. These positive contributors were partially offset by the underweight position in Switzerland and overweight position in Belgium. The Swiss market was one of the best performing markets in the index, helped by exposure to the defensive Health Care and consumer staples sectors.
 
Sector positioning was very positive for returns over the year as the positive impact from overweight positions in the more defensive Telecommunications Services, Health Care and Consumer Staples sectors and underweight positions in the Materials and Energy sectors all added to returns. Stock selection in the Information Technology sector was also strong, helped by the performance of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) in Taiwan and Canon in Japan. In the health care sector, the portfolio’s holdings in GlaxoSmithKline in the UK and Novartis increased returns. GlaxoSmithKline was one of the few stocks to produce a positive return over the period.
 
In Japan, the holdings in Seven & i Holdings (parent company to the “7/11” convenience store chain) and Kao Corporation, both consumer staples stocks, also added positively to returns as they benefited from improving margins from rising consumer prices over the earlier part of the reporting period. The portfolio’s other Japanese holdings such as KDDI and Takeda Pharmaceutical were also helpful for performance. In Germany, the holdings in Deutsche Telekom, a telecommunications company and RWE, a utility company, were also beneficial to returns.
 
At the other end of the spectrum, the Financials sector was the weakest sector over the period as many financial stocks were affected by the global financial crisis. In the UK, HBOS, Lloyds TSB and Aviva all suffered. Other European financial stocks such as Banco Santander in Spain, Société Générale in France and Intesa Sanpaolo in Italy, also underperformed the broader benchmark over the year. Financial holdings in Asia were helpful for returns; National Australia Bank in Australia and OCBC Bank in Singapore both added to returns. Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector pulled back returns. In particular, automobile stocks, such as Renault in France, were affected by falling demand for vehicles as global economy slowed over the year.

Laudus Mondrian Global Equity Fund
 
 
The Laudus Mondrian Global Equity Fund Investor Shares returned -41.35% for the period since inception on 6/17/08, outperforming the benchmark MSCI World Index (Net), which returned -44.22%. Index returns were negative across all developed markets over this time. The fund outperformed the benchmark as a result of both favourable stock selection and geographic allocation of investments.
 
All markets were significantly weaker during the period, but the overall impact of country allocation was very positive for returns. Exposure to the non-benchmark Taiwanese market was beneficial to returns. Additionally, the fund also benefited from underweight positions in smaller European markets such as Ireland, Austria and Greece. The fund’s underweight position in Germany was also helpful, as the German equity market fell sharply over the year. These positive contributors were partially offset by the underweight position in Switzerland and overweight position in Belgium. The Swiss market was one of the best performing markets in the index, helped by exposure to the defensive Health Care and Consumer Staples sectors. The fund was underweight in US equities, which modestly outperformed the benchmark.
 
Sector positioning was very positive for returns over the year as the positive impact from overweight positions in the more defensive Telecommunications Services, Health Care and Consumer Staples sectors and underweight positions in the Materials and Energy sectors all added to returns. Stock selection in the Information Technology sector was also strong, helped by the performance of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) in Taiwan and Canon in Japan. In the Health Care sector, the portfolio’s holdings in GlaxoSmithKline in the UK, Novartis in Switzerland and Wyeth in the US increased returns.
 
In Japan, the holdings in Seven & i Holdings (parent company to the “7/11” convenience store chain), NTT and Astellas all added positively to returns. Meanwhile, in Germany, the holdings in Deutsche Telekom, a telecommunications company and RWE, a utility company, were also beneficial to returns.
 
At the other end of the spectrum, the Financials sector was the weakest sector over the period as many of these stocks were affected by the global financial crisis. In the UK, HBOS, Lloyds TSB and Aviva all suffered. Other European financial stocks such as Société Générale in France and Intesa Sanpaolo in Italy, also underperformed the broader benchmark over the year. Further, US financials in portfolio (such as, Bank of America) underperformed. Financial holdings in Asia were helpful for returns; National Australia Bank in Australia and OCBC Bank in Singapore both added to returns. Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector pulled back returns. In particular, automobile stocks, such as Renault in France, were affected by falling demand for vehicles as global economy slowed over the year. Meanwhile, CBS’ share price tumbled on concerns about the slide in television and radio ad spending, particularly, by auto firms in the US.

Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund
 
 
The Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund Investor Shares returned -42.02% during the period, outperforming the benchmark MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net), which returned -47.07%. For the entire period, index returns were negative across all regions. The fund outperformed the benchmark primarily as a result of good stock selection in Latin America and Asia.
 
On a sector specific level, returns in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index were most negative in Materials, Industrials and Energy as a result of the precipitous decline in commodity prices and global trade. The fund benefited from being underweight in materials and from relatively good positioning in Energy and Industrials. The fund also benefited from its large weighting in the Telecommunications Sector where returns were less negative. Currency movements decreased US dollar returns as most emerging market currencies depreciated relative to the US dollar.
 
The fund’s general investment strategy continued to be driven by several consistent factors implemented by the Mondrian portfolio management team with an overriding strong emphasis on value stocks. The main changes in asset allocation during the year were increasing China from a significant underweight to a more neutral position, and increasing Russia from underweight to overweight given the sharp price declines in both markets presenting attractive value opportunities. Funds were raised by reducing exposure to Brazil, Korea and Malaysia where valuations became less attractive on a relative basis.
 
Global financial markets experienced one of their most turbulent periods in history. Volatility increased meaningfully in developed and emerging equity markets with absolute performance between the two quite similar. Emerging markets were more affected by the sell off in commodities given their greater leverage to the Mining and Energy sectors, but were less damaged by the Financial sector where share price declines were driven more by concerns of a cyclical earnings fall rather than a major capital write off, as has been the experience in the US and the broader developed world. In Mondrian’s view, selling in many markets tended to be indiscriminate with little regard to valuation fundamentals or positive corporate or economic news. By the end of the period, given hope for positive results from policy stimulus across the global economy, stock markets showed some signs of recovery with the emerging market asset class posting one of its strongest ever months, up 14.37% in March.

Laudus Mondrian Funds 11


 

 
Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund
 
 
The Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund Investor Shares returned -5.69% over the 12 month period ending March 31, 2009, while the benchmark Citigroup non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index returned -6.44%. International government bond markets generally rose over the 12 month period, as inflation expectations fell on the back of weak global growth and weakening risk appetites led to a flight-to-quality.
 
Local bond market strength was more than offset by the depreciation of most international currencies against the US dollar, partially reversing currency gains seen in previous years. In the first half of the year, outperformance was driven by defensive currency hedges of both the euro and UK sterling, as these currencies depreciated markedly relative to the US dollar. Later in the year, the fund’s overweight position to the UK bond market added to performance, as government bond yields fell, helped by the announcement by the Bank of England that quantitative easing would be used to lower long-term bond yields. The fund’s overweight position to Australia, which was initiated part way through the year and removed before year-end, also added to performance late in the year.
 
Overweight positions to Mexico and Poland detracted from performance over the last 12 months. The local bond markets and currencies of less developed countries were hurt by a weakening of risk appetite amongst investors over the last 12 months. The overweight position to Poland, initiated in December, detracted from performance in the first quarter 2009, after the Polish zloty depreciated, as the appetite for central and eastern European bond markets and currencies weakened.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
 
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: transaction costs, such as redemption fees; and, ongoing costs, such as management fees, transfer agent and shareholder services fees, and other fund expenses.
 
The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for period beginning October 1, 2008 and held through March 31, 2009.
 
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ¸ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund or share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period”.
 
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s or share class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
 
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Financial Notes
 
 
1. Business Structure of the Funds:
 
Each of the Laudus Mondrian Funds in this report is a series of Laudus Trust (the ”Trust”), an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The list below shows all the funds in the Trust including the Funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted (individually each such highlighted portfolio, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
 
     
 
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Fund
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Value Fund
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund
Laudus Rosenberg Long/Short Equity Fund
Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund
Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund
Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund
  Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund
Laudus Mondrian Global Equity Fund
Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund
Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund
     
 
The Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund and the Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund commenced operations on November 2, 2007. The Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund and the Laudus Mondrian Global Equity Fund commenced operations on June 17, 2008 and each Fund offers three share classes: Investor Shares, Select Shares and Institutional Shares. Each class of shares generally has identical rights and preferences, except that each class is subject to different eligibility conditions, bear different distribution and sub-transfer agent expenses and separate voting rights on matters pertaining solely to that class of shares.
 
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 keeps certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the Funds use in the preparation of their financial statements. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
(a) Security Valuation:
 
The Funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The Funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the valuation date exchange rate.
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available or when a significant event has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time the Funds calculate net asset value: valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using guidelines adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees and the Pricing Committee. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued at fair value include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price, or certain foreign securities’ closing market values adjusted for changes in value that may occur between the close of foreign exchange and the time at which Funds’ shares are priced. The Board of Trustees regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the Funds pursuant to the procedures.
 
  •  Bonds and notes: valued at halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes or, if such quotes are unavailable, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, credit quality and type. Valuations for bonds and notes are provided by an independent bond-pricing service.
 
  •  Futures and forwards: valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges (for futures) or at a market value based on that day’s exchange rates (for forwards).

 Laudus Mondrian Funds
 

 
Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): valued at amortized cost, when it approximates market value.
 
  •  Underlying funds: valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those Funds in accordance with the 1940 Act for a given day.
 
(b) Portfolio Investments:
 
Delayed-Delivery: The Funds may buy securities on a delayed-delivery basis. In these transactions, a Fund agrees to buy a security for a stated price, with settlement generally occurring within two weeks. If the security’s value falls before settlement occurs, the Fund could end up paying more for the security than its market value at the time of settlement. The Funds have set aside sufficient securities as collateral for those securities bought on a delayed-delivery basis.
 
Futures Contract: The Funds may invest in futures contracts. Futures contracts involve certain risks because they can be very sensitive to market movements.
 
One risk is that the price of a futures contract may not move in perfect correlation with the price of the underlying securities. Another risk is that, at certain times, it may be impossible for a Fund to close out a position in a futures contract, due to a difference in trading hours or to market conditions that may reduce the liquidity for a futures contract or its underlying securities. The potential for losses associated with futures contracts may exceed amounts recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
Because futures contracts carry inherent risks, a Fund must give the broker a deposit of cash and/or securities (the “initial margin”) whenever it enters into the futures contract. The amount of the deposit may vary from one contract to another, but it is generally a percentage of the contract amount. 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 gains or losses. Futures are traded publicly on exchanges, and their market value changes daily.
 
Forward Currency Contract: The Funds may invest in forward currency contracts in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities to minimize the uncertainty of changes in future foreign currency exchange rates. “Forwards”, as they are known, are contracts to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. Forwards are similar to futures except that they are not publicly traded, but are agreements directly between two parties.
 
As with futures, forwards involve certain risks that are not fully reflected in the Funds’ financial statements. If counter-parties to the contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably, the Funds could sustain a loss.
 
Repurchase Agreement: The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a Fund buys a security from another party (usually a financial institution) with the agreement that it be sold back in the future. The date, price and other conditions are all specified when the agreement is created.
 
The Funds’ repurchase agreements will be fully collateralized by U.S. government securities or U.S. government agency securities. All collateral is held by the Funds’ custodian (or, with tri-party agreements, the agent’s bank) and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value is at least equal to the repurchase price under the agreement.
 
(c) Security Transactions:
 
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies, including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the fluctuations on investments resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuation 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 are subject to non-U.S. taxes. The Funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
When a Fund closes out a futures or forwards position, it calculates the difference between the value of the position at the beginning and at the end of the contract, and records a realized gain or loss accordingly. A Fund records the daily change in market value of futures, and also the change in the amount of margin deposit required (“due to/from broker”).
 
(d) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. If a fund buys a debt security at a discount (that is, for less than its face value) or a premium (more than face value), it amortizes the discount or premium from the current date up to maturity. The fund then increases (in the case of discounts) or reduces (in the case of premiums) the income it records from the security. If the security is callable (meaning that the issuer has the option to pay it off before its maturity date), then the fund amortizes the premium to the security’s call date and price, rather than the maturity date and price.
 
(e) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a Fund or a class within the trust are charged directly to that Fund or class. Expenses that are common to all Funds within the trust generally are allocated among the Funds in proportion to their average daily net assets.
 
For Funds offering multiple share classes, the net investment income, other than class specific expenses, and the realized and unrealized gains or losses, are allocated daily to each class in proportion to its average daily net assets.
 
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The Funds make distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains once a year, if any, with the exception of Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund which pays quarterly dividends.
 
(g) Custody Credit:
 
Certain Funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank under which the Fund receives a credit for its uninvested cash balance to offset its custody fees and accounting fees. The credit amounts (if any) are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to the Funds’ operating expenses.
 
(h) Accounting Estimates:
 
The accounting policies described in this report conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates.
 
(i) Federal Income Taxes:
 
The Funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains (if any) to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a Fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
 
(j) Indemnification:
 
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
 
(k) Accounting Pronouncements:
 
The Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund and the Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective April 1, 2008.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
Equity Fund adopted SFAS No. 157 when they commenced operations on June 17, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.
 
SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
 
  •  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2009:

On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff position (“FSP”) No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 on the Funds’ or Investment Company’s financial statement disclosures.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”) SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about Funds’ derivative and hedging activities Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

3. Risk factors:
 
Investing in the Funds may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below:
 
The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. In addition, the equity market tends to move in cycles which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
 
Stocks of large-size companies tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. As a result, during a period when these stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds or stocks of mid- or small-size companies, for instance — the Fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
A Fund may also be subject to additional risk because it invests primarily in the stocks of companies with small and mid-sized market capitalizations, which tend to be less liquid and more volatile than stocks of companies with larger market capitalizations. These companies may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees. In addition, small and mid cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. As a result, during a period when these stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds or stocks of large-size companies, for instance — the Fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
Investments in securities of foreign issuers involve certain risks that are more significant than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, or changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges). In certain countries, legal remedies available to investors may be more limited than those available with respect to investments in the United States. The securities of some foreign companies may be less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. A fund with foreign investments may also experience more rapid or extreme changes in value than a fund that invests solely in securities of U.S. companies because the securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries.
 
Emerging markets may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Emerging market countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements, unreliable securities valuation and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. It is sometimes difficult to obtain and enforce court judgments in such countries and there is often a greater potential for nationalization and/or expropriation of assets by the government of an emerging market country. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with the Fund’s investments in emerging market countries, which may be magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Bond prices generally fall when interest rates rise. Bonds with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to this risk. Fund performance also could be affected if an issuer or guarantor of a bond held by the Fund fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Lower-quality bonds are considered speculative with respect to its issuer’s ability to make timely payments or otherwise honor its obligations. In addition, prices of lower-quality bonds tend to be more volatile than those of investment-grade bonds, and may fall based on bad news about the issuer, an industry or the overall economy. Also, bonds of foreign issuers may be more volatile than those of comparable bonds from U.S. issuers, for reasons ranging from limited issuer information to the risk of political upheaval.
 
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
 
The Trust’s Board of Trustees oversees the general conduct of the Trust and the Funds.
 
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (”CSIM” or the investment adviser), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as the Funds’ investment adviser pursuant to Management Contracts (“Advisory Agreement”) between it and the Trust. Mondrian Investment Partners Limited (“Mondrian”), the Funds’ sub-adviser, provides day-to-day portfolio management services to the Funds, subject to the supervision of CSIM.

5. Other Shareholders Services
 
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (BFDS) provides the transfer agent services to the Funds, and receives transfer agent fees from the Funds as shown in the Statement of Operations.
 
The Trust has a Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan with respect to its Investor Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Investor Shares of the Funds are sold on a continuous basis by the Trust’s Distributor-ALPS Distributors, Inc. Under the Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan, the Funds pay distribution and shareholder servicing fees in connection with the sale and servicing of the Investor Shares. The annual Distribution and Shareholder Service Fee consists of up to 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of the Investor Shares. In addition, the Trustees have authorized each Fund to reimburse, out of the Investor and Select Class assets of the Funds, financial intermediaries that provide sub-accounting and sub-transfer agency services in connection with Investor or Select Class shares of the Funds an amount up to 0.15% of the average daily net assets of that class on an annual basis.
 
Effective May 5, 2009, no further fees will be assessed on Investor and Select Shares of the Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund for sub-accounting and sub-transfer agency services or under the Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan.

6. Board of Trustees
 
Trustees may include people who are officers and/or directors of other fund families managed by the Investment Adviser. Federal securities law limits the percentage of the “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the Laudus Funds are in compliance with these limitations. The Funds did not pay any of these persons for their service as trustees, but did pay non-interested persons (Independent Trustees), as noted in each Fund’s Statement of Operations.
 
Until September 2006, a Retirement Plan existed for the Independent Trustees. After the termination of the Retirement Plan, the previously accrued and unpaid benefits continue to be adjusted by performance of the Funds. As a result, the amount of the Retirement Payable to any Independent Trustee may increase or decrease based on the performance of the Funds.
 
7. Borrowing from Banks:
 
The Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund, Laudus Mondrian Global Equity Fund, Laudus Mondrian Emerging Market Fund, and the Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund have access to custodian overdraft facilities and to an uncommitted line of credit up to a maximum of $100,000,000, as established by State Street Corporation. Interest is calculated based on the market rates at the time of borrowing.
 
There were no borrowings from the line of credit for the Funds during the period. However, the Funds utilized their overdraft facility and incurred interest expense, which is disclosed in the Statement of Operation. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

For the period ended March 31, 2009, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:

primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses, short-term capital gains and losses; capital losses related to wash sales, unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities; paydowns on fixed-income securities; and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the Funds for financial reporting purposes. The Funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
 
The permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between capital account and other accounts as required. The adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of March 31, 2009, the Funds made the following reclassifications:

As of March 31, 2009, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and state purposes, four years from the date of filing), as applicable to the Funds, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended March 31, 2009, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of:
Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund
Laudus Mondrian Global Equity Fund
Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund
Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund, Laudus Mondrian Global Equity Fund, Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund and Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund (four of the portfolios constituting Laudus Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at March 31, 2009, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at March 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Glossary
 
90 Day T-bill is a short-term discounted, government debt instrument of 90 days or less, issued in $10,000 denominations that pay its face value at maturity. The government issues Treasury bills weekly.
 
Alpha is a measure of a fund’s risk adjusted return. Alpha can be used to directly measure the value added or subtracted by a fund’s manager. It is calculated by measuring the difference between a fund’s actual returns and its expected performance given its level of market risk as measured by beta.
 
Beta is a measure of the volatility of a stock relative to the overall market. A beta of less than one indicates lower historical risk than the market; a beta of more than one indicates higher historical risk than the market.
 
The Citigroup non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index measures the total rate of return performance for the government bonds of 23 countries, excluding the U.S., with a remaining maturity of at least one year.
 
GDP, or Gross Domestic Product, is the market value of the goods and services produced by labor and property in the United States.
 
Modified Duration expresses the measurable change in the value of a security in response to a change in interest rates. The formula calculates the effect that a 1% change in interest rates will have on the price of a bond.
 
The MSCI EAFE Index® (Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure market equity performance in 22 developed market countries, excluding the U.S. and Canada. This series approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment.
 
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets. This series approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment.
 
The MSCI World® Index (Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure global developed markets equity performance. This series approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment.  
 
Price to earnings ratio is the price of a stock divided by its historical earnings per share.
 
Price to book ratio compares the stock’s market value to the value of the total assets less the total liabilities.
 
Price to cash flow ratio is the price of a stock divided by its reported cash flow per share.
 
Relative strength is the rate that a stock falls relative to other stocks in a falling market or rises relative to other stocks in a rising market.
 
Return on equity represents the amount earned on a company’s common stock investment for a given period, calculated by dividing common stock equity into net income for the period after preferred stock dividends but before common stock dividends.
 
Trading Activity is one of several risk factors commonly used to attribute a portfolio’s return relative to its benchmark. Specifically, trading activity measures a stock’s trailing 12 month trading volume relative to its total shares outstanding. It measures how actively traded a stock has been in the last 12 months.

All fund and index figures on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. Index figures do not include trading and management costs, which would lower performance. Indices are unmanaged, and you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized. Redemption fees charged on shares sold or exchanged 30 days or less after purchasing them may affect share level returns.
Fund expenses may have been partially absorbed by CSIM. Without these reductions, the fund’s returns would have been lower. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
Small-company stocks are subject to greater volatility than other asset categories.
Small- and mid-capitalization funds typically carry additional risk since small- and mid-capitalization companies generally have a higher risk of failure.
Investments in long/short funds are riskier than some other forms of investments. Since they have both long and short portfolios, an investment will involve risks associated with twice the number of investment decisions made for a typical stock fund. These types of Funds typically have a high portfolio turnover that could increase transaction costs and cause short-term capital gains to be realized. While it may be the intent of the Manager to take long positions in stocks that outperform the market and short positions in stocks that underperform the market, there is no assurance that the Manager will be successful.
The Fund uses the return that an investor could achieve through an investment in 3-month U.S. Treasury Bills as a benchmark against which to measure the Fund’s performance. AXA Rosenberg attempts to achieve returns for the Fund’s shareholders which exceed the benchmark. An investment in the Fund is different from an investment in 3-month U.S. Treasury Bills because, among other differences, U.S. Treasury Bills are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, U.S. Treasury Bills have a fixed rate of return, investors in U.S. Treasury Bills do not risk losing their investment, and an investment in the Fund is more volatile than an investment in U.S. Treasury Bills.

In the past year, financial markets were besieged with volatility and turmoil, while many economies across the globe experienced slower growth or recession, making investment conditions some of the most difficult in history. Although returns were relatively better in March, the fiscal year was characterized by two particularly bearish periods – the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009. In this environment, major equity indices experienced significant declines. The Russell 1000 Index, for example, was down 38% for the reporting period, while the Russell 1000 Value Index declined 42%. On average, returns were down in all major sectors. The fixed income space, usually a bright spot in down markets, was not immune to the current market malady, with the Citigroup Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index down around 6%.
 
Within the Laudus Rosenberg Fund Family, returns in the funds followed the general downdraft on equity and fixed income prices. In both the U.S. and International fund groups, returns were down between 40-50% on average, with the exception of the Laudus Rosenberg Long/Short Fund, down around 13%, indicating that various un-hedged investment strategies were similarly affected by overall market declines. In general, modest outperformance and underperformance relative to funds’ respective benchmarks was primarily attributable to stock selection. For more detail, please see the portfolio manager’s commentary in the following pages.
 
The Laudus Rosenberg Funds are sub-advised by AXA Rosenberg Investment Management, LLC, one of the world’s premier equity specialists and institutional money managers. Through the Laudus Rosenberg Funds offering, this distinctive approach to investment management is easily accessible to independent advisors and individual investors.
 
During the reporting period, the Board approved changes to the Laudus Rosenberg subadvisory contracts between AXA Rosenberg and CSIM effective April 1, 2009. These changes simplify the subadvisory contracts but do not have any impact on the overall advisory fees paid by the Laudus Rosenberg Funds. Additional information is available in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.
 
In closing, I would remind you that should you have any questions about the funds we are available to answer them at 1-800-447-3332.
 
Thank you for investing with us.
 
Sincerely,

The Investment Environment
 
 
The past twelve months produced significant negative returns and high volatility in global capital markets, and nearly all major equity indexes lost more than 40%. Generally, U.S. equity markets fared slightly better than international ones, while fixed income outperformed both. Commodity indexes also lost value. Globally, losses were highly synchronized, exhibiting a pattern typical during periods of global economic weakness.
 
In the U.S., large-cap stocks lost about 38% for the period, but with a wide spread between growth- and value-style equities, as growth outperformed value by about 8%. U.S. small-caps slightly outperformed U.S. large-caps, losing just under 38%. U.S. small-cap growth stocks outperformed value, but still lost more than 36%. Internationally, the results were worse. International large-cap stocks lost nearly 47%, but outperformed international small-cap stocks, which were down more than 48%. As occurred in the U.S., international growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts, but the difference was less, with growth leading by around 3%.
 
 
What caused these weak returns, especially during a relatively short period of time of twelve months? In essence, the credit crisis that began in the summer of 2007 dominated the capital markets during the period. In September 2008, Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, while the U.S. government intervened in the operations of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and AIG. Several banks also failed, especially during the second half of the reporting period. Companies in all areas but especially in the financial services sector deleveraged their balance sheets. Over the past several years, individuals and companies borrowed significant amounts of capital. Individuals typically used the loans to purchase homes and autos. In turn, many financial companies leveraged their balance sheets to buy these loans and build and sell marketable securities composed of them, such as mortgage-backed securities. On the open market, these securities could be bought by institutional investors and hedge funds, for example. As credit tightened, many of the loans – both consumer and corporate – went into default, requiring firms to acquire capital to shore up their balance sheets or to sell assets to reduce their debt.
 
Investors and lenders were worried about the value of the debt on company balance sheets. In some cases, there were no bidders for the corporate obligations and securitized assets that were being offered for sale. Without bids, it became difficult to value these securities, and as default rates rose prices became even more depressed. Eventually, the solvency of corporations with large portfolios of leveraged debt was questioned. In this environment, investors took defensive action by reducing their corporate equity exposure. Thus, the equity markets declined precipitously as investors migrated to the safety of government debt.
 
A few areas performed well. One notable area was the U.S. Treasury market, generally considered the lowest default risk fixed income investment. Short-term Treasury bills gained about 1% during the period, and Treasury bonds maturing in the next ten to twenty years returned about 12%. More diversified fixed income investments also generated positive returns, typically around 3%, as investors flocked to defensive investments.
 
From a global sector perspective, financial stocks were down nearly 60% on average, primarily due to impacts following the credit crunch. Materials, down more than 50%, and Energy stocks, off about 40%, did poorly due to the deleveraging process described above and due to investors’ movements out of equity positions. Industrials and Consumer Discretionary stocks also lost between 40-50%, on average. On a relative basis,

The Investment Environment continued
 
global Health Care and Consumer Staples firms performed better, down around 22% and 30%, respectively; these sectors are generally considered to be defensive investments in times of economic or market stress.
 
Among major developed economies, Japan performed the best during the period, losing about 36% in U.S. dollar terms. The U.S. did slightly worse, down nearly 38%. Most European countries lost more than 45%. It is important to note that through most of the reporting period, the U.S. dollar rallied against the British pound and the Euro, pushing the European returns lower for U.S. dollar-based investors. Emerging markets as a group performed in line with developed markets, losing about 47% in the twelve-month period. A few emerging markets such as Russia lost nearly 70%, but a surprising number such as China did relatively well, losing about 35%.
 
The dollar’s gains also impacted commodity prices, and most commodity indexes were down more than 50% for the twelve-month period. Crude oil lost 67% for the period, in contrast to the rise in prices over the last few years. Metals and agricultural prices also declined, partially in response to expectations of slowing economies around the globe and thus a likelihood of lower demand. Gold was one relative bright spot among commodity returns, losing about 1% for the period.

Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Fund
 
 
The Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Fund Investor Shares returned -37.61% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, outperforming the benchmark Russell 1000 Index, which returned -38.27%. Persistent volatility, investor risk aversion, and economic recession weighed heavily on equity prices during the reporting period. On a relative basis, outperformance versus the benchmark was principally attributable to stock selection in Energy and allocation effect within Financials.
 
Despite modest outperformance relative to the benchmark, returns were strongly negative in all sectors represented in the fund. In this particularly difficult investment environment, un-hedged equity funds generally declined following the downward pricing pressure in equity markets. In the fund, Materials, Industrials, and Financials declined the most. Prices in the Material and Industrial sectors declined primarily as investors priced in slower growth and decreased demand amidst economic recession. Corporations within the Financial sector, particularly banks, ailed as credit constraints continued to adversely impact markets and stock prices. Better performing sectors were Utilities, Telecomm Services, and Health Care. Relative to the benchmark, the fund’s underweight to the Financial sector as well as stock selection in Energy benefited the fund. Within Energy, an overweight to Chevron Corp., Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., and Marathon Oil Corp., combined with an underweight to Transocean Ltd. and Schlumberger Ltd. primarily accounted for outperformance versus the benchmark.
 
From a price-to-earnings (P/E) standpoint, returns were down across the board. Companies with negative P/E ratios experienced the most significant decline, but the fund benefited from underweighting these companies relative to the benchmark. Over 90% of the fund’s holdings are in companies with mid to low P/E ratios. On average, returns in companies with lower P/E ratios were better than companies with higher or negative P/E ratios.
 
Within the large-cap space, returns across all capitalization levels were negative, on average. In the fund, corporations in the $5-25 billion range were most negative when compared to other capitalization levels. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection in the $100-150 billion range benefited the fund.
 
In terms of price-to-book (P/B) ratios, returns were negative across the board. Relative to the benchmark, outperformance was primarily attributable to stock selection in corporations with low P/B ratios.

The Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Value Fund Investor Shares returned -40.80% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, outperforming the benchmark Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned -42.42%. Persistent volatility, investor risk aversion, and economic recession weighed heavily on equity prices during the reporting period. All major sectors represented in the fund and benchmark declined. On a relative basis, outperformance versus the benchmark was principally attributable to stock selection and allocation effect within Financials.
 
Despite modest outperformance relative to the benchmark, returns were strongly negative in all sectors represented in the fund. In this particularly difficult investment environment, un-hedged equity funds generally declined following the downward pricing pressure in equity markets.

From a price-to-earnings (P/E) standpoint, returns were down across the board. Companies with negative P/E ratios experienced the most significant decline, but the fund benefited from underweighting these companies relative to the benchmark.

Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund
 
 
The Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund Investor Shares returned -41.24% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, underperforming the benchmark Russell 2500 Index, which returned -38.23%. Persistent volatility, investor risk aversion, and economic recession weighed heavily on equity prices during the reporting period. On a relative basis, underperformance versus the benchmark was principally attributable to stock selection. In general, an overweight to value stocks detracted from performance as these stocks underperformed. However, an underweight to financial leverage benefited the fund.
 
Returns were strongly negative in all sectors represented in the fund. In this particularly difficult investment environment, un-hedged equity funds generally declined following the downward pricing pressure in equity markets. On a sector specific level, Energy, Industrials, and Materials declined the most. Although stronger earlier in the period, the Energy sector experienced significant downward pricing pressure as the economic recession deepened and growth slowed. Better performing sectors were Telecomm services and Utilities, which are typically seen as being more recession resistant. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection across a number of sectors detracted from returns, most notably in Information Technology, Industrials, and Financials. Within Industrials, an overweight to The Manitowoc Company, Inc. detracted the most among individual holdings. Stock selection and allocation effect within the Energy sector led offsetting factors, despite the sector’s negative return.
 
From a price-to-earnings (P/E) standpoint, returns were down across the board. Corporations with negative P/E ratios performed worse. About one third of the fund is allocated to companies with low P/E ratios. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection within companies with low P/E ratios was the most significant detractor.
 
When looking at market capitalization, returns were negative across all capitalization levels. The fund is primarily allocated to corporations with market capitalizations between $300 million to $5 billion. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection in companies with market caps of $1.5 billion and below generally detracted, particularly in the $750 million to $1.5 billion range. However, selection within the $5 billion to $7.5 billion range helped to pare losses.
 
In terms of price-to-book (P/B), returns across the spectrum were negative. The fund is primarily allocated to companies with mid to low P/B ratios. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection in companies with low P/B ratios accounted for most of the underperformance.

Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund
 
 
The Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund Investor Shares returned -43.79% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, underperforming the benchmark Russell 2000 Index, which returned -37.50%. Persistent volatility, investor risk aversion, and economic recession weighed heavily on equity prices during the reporting period. On a relative basis, underperformance versus the benchmark was principally attributable to stock selection in Financials, Industrials, and Health Care. In general, an overweight to value stocks detracted from performance as these stocks underperformed.
 
Returns were strongly negative in all sectors represented in the fund. In this particularly difficult investment environment, un-hedged equity funds generally declined following the downward pricing pressure in equity markets. On a sector specific level, Energy and Materials were down the most. Although stronger earlier in the period, the Energy sector experienced significant downward pricing pressure as the economic recession deepened and growth slowed. Though still negative, better performing sectors were Consumer Staples and Utilities, which are typically seen as being more recession resistant. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection in Financials, Industrials, and Health Care contributed most significantly to underperformance. Within Industrials, an overweight to Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd. detracted the most among individual holdings. In Technology, an overweight to Insight Enterprises Inc. detracted the most among individual holdings. Allocation in Consumer Discretionary helped to partially offset these losses; in addition, an overweight to Netflix, Inc. and AutoNation, Inc. added value.
 
From a price-to-earnings (P/E) standpoint, returns were again down across the board. In general, companies with negative P/E ratios accounted for most of the underperformance. The fund is primarily allocated to corporations with mid to low P/E ratios. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection within the lowest P/E range detracted most significantly, followed by stock selection in companies with high P/E ratios.
 
When looking at market capitalization, returns were negative across all market capitalization levels. The fund, like the benchmark, is primarily allocated to corporations with capitalizations below $3 billion. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection in companies with capitalizations below $1.5 billion detracted most significantly.
 
In terms of price-to-book (P/B), returns were down similarly across the spectrum. The fund, like the benchmark, is primarily allocated to companies with mid to low P/B ratios. Relative to the benchmark, an overweight to companies with low P/B ratios, as well as stock selection with in this space accounted for most of the underperformance.

Laudus Rosenberg Long/Short Equity Fund
 
 
The Laudus Rosenberg Long/Short Equity Fund Investor Shares returned -13.59% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, underperforming the benchmark 90-day T-bills, which returned 0.99%. Persistent volatility, investor risk aversion, and a global economic recession weighed heavily on equity prices during the reporting period. All major sectors represented in the fund and benchmark declined. On a relative basis, underperformance was generally attributable to stock selection on both the long and short side; the fund’s long positions were steeply negative, while the fund’s short positions were not negative enough to counteract losses from the long side.
 
On a sector specific level, returns were down across the board. Financials, Industrials, and Materials experienced the most significant decline, on average down more than 55%. On the long side, stock selection in Industrials, Materials, and Information Technology detracted most, while selection in the Telecom Services sector helped to partially offset. On the short side, stock selection in Financials, Consumer Staples, and Industrials led factors detracting from overall returns.
 
From a price-to-earnings (P/E) perspective, returns were negative across the spectrum. Stock selection on the short side in companies with medium to high P/E ratios detracted, while stock selection in low and negative P/E ratios helped to partially offset. On the long side, stock selection in companies with very low and high P/E ratios generally detracted, with selection in negative P/E ratios offsetting slightly.
 
From a market cap perspective, returns were again down across the board. On the short side, stock selection in the $0-300 million range, as well as selection in the $3-5 billion and $7.5 billion and above range detracted most. On the long side, stock selection in the $3-5 billion and $7.5 billion and above range hurt the fund.
 
In terms of price-to-book (P/B) ratios, stock selection on both the long and short side in companies with low P/B ratios detracted, as did selection in companies with high P/B ratios.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
 
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: transaction costs, such as redemption fees; and, ongoing costs, such as management fees, transfer agent and shareholder services fees, and other fund expenses.
 
The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for period beginning October 1, 2008 and held through March 31, 2009.
 
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ¸ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund or share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period”.
 
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s or share class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
 
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Financial Notes
 
 
1. Business Structure of the Funds:
 
Each of the Laudus Rosenberg Funds in this report is a series of the Laudus Trust (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The list below shows all the funds in the Trust including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted (individually each such highlighted portfolio, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
 
     
 
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Fund
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Value Fund
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund
Laudus Rosenberg Long/Short Equity Fund
Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund
  Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund
Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund
Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund
Laudus Mondrian Global Equity Fund
Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund
Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund
 
 
As of October 15, 2004 the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund was closed to new investors.
 
The Institutional Shares class were redesignated as Select Shares effective on July 31, 2008, for all Laudus Rosenberg Funds.
 
Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Investor Shares and Select Shares of no par value, and the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund is also authorized to issue an unlimited number of Adviser Shares of no par value. Each class of shares generally has identical rights and preferences, except that each class is subject to different eligibility conditions, bear different distribution and sub-transfer agent expenses, and separate voting rights on matters pertaining solely to that class of shares.
 
Each Fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each Fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the Funds use in the preparation of their financial statements. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
(a) Security Valuation
 
The Funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The Funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the valuation date exchange rate.
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available or when a significant event has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time the Funds calculate net asset value: valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using guidelines adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees and the Pricing Committee. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued at fair value include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price, or certain foreign securities’ closing market values adjusted for changes in value that may occur between the close of foreign exchange and the time at which Funds’ shares are priced. The Board of Trustees regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the Funds pursuant to the procedures.
 
  •  Short-term debt securities (60 days or less to maturity): valued at amortized cost, when it approximates market value.
 
  •  Underlying funds: valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those Funds in accordance with the 1940 Act for a given day.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
(b) Portfolio Investments:
 
Real Estate Investment Trusts: Certain Funds may own shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Certain distributions received from REITs during the year, which are known to be a return of capital, are recorded as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT.
 
Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a Fund buys a security from another party (usually a financial institution) with the agreement that it be sold back in the future. The date, price and other conditions are all specified when the agreement is created.
 
The Funds’ repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. government securities or U.S. government agency securities. All collateral is held by the Funds’ custodian (or, with tri-party agreements, the agent’s bank) and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value is at least equal to the repurchase price under the agreement.
 
Short Sales: The Laudus Rosenberg Long/Short Equity Fund is authorized to engage in short sales. Short sales are transactions in which a Fund sells a security it does not own, in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to deliver to the buyer upon the short sale; the Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between those dates. The potential for losses associated with short positions is much greater than the original value of the securities sold short and may exceed the market value of securities sold short recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account at the Custodian Bank with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long by the portfolio to sufficiently cover its short position on a daily basis. The collateral for the securities sold short includes the Deposits with Broker and Custodian Bank, as shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the securities held long as shown in the Statement of Portfolio Holdings. Interest accrued or dividends paid on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the Fund’s records.
 
Securities Lending: Under the Securities Lending Program, securities held may be loaned by State Street Corporation, as agent, to certain brokers (the “Borrowers”). The Borrowers provide cash or U.S. government securities as collateral against loans in an amount at least equal to 100% of the market value of the loaned securities.
 
The cash collateral of securities loaned is invested in high quality, short-term investments such as money market funds and U.S. government securities. The investments of collateral are marked-to-market daily and the value of the collateral must be at least 100% of the market value of the loan securities each day. The Funds do not hold securities on loan as of March 31, 2009.
 
(c) Security Transactions:
 
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies, including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the fluctuations on investments resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuation in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
 
(d) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying mutual 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
(e) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a Fund or a class within the trust are charged directly to that Fund or class. Expenses that are common to all Funds within the trust generally are allocated among the Funds in proportion to their average daily net assets.
 
For Funds offering multiple share classes, the net investment income, other than class specific expenses, and the realized and unrealized gains or losses, are allocated daily to each class in proportion to its average daily net assets.
 
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The Funds make distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains once a year, if any.
 
(g) Custody Credit
 
Certain Funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank under which the Fund receives a credit for its uninvested cash balance to offset its custody fees and accounting fees. The credit amounts (if any) are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to the Funds’ operating expenses.
 
h) Accounting Estimates:
 
The accounting policies described in this report conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates.
 
(i) Federal Income Taxes:
 
The Funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains (if any) to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a Fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
 
(j) Indemnification:
 
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
 
(k) Accounting Pronouncements:
 
The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective April 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
 
SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
 
  •  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2009:

The Funds have no Other Financial Instruments at the end of the period.
 
On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff position (“FSP”) No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 on the Funds’ or Investment Company’s financial statement disclosures.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about Funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
 
3. Risk factors:
 
Investing in the Funds may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below:
 
An investment in any of the Funds involves risks similar to those of investing in common stocks directly. Just as with common stocks, the value of Fund shares may increase or decrease depending on market, economic, political, regulatory and other conditions affecting a Fund’s portfolio. These types of risks may be greater with respect to investments in securities of foreign issuers. Investment in shares of the Funds is, like an investment in common stocks, more volatile and risky than some other forms of investment. This risk is significant for all Funds. The Laudus Rosenberg Long/Short Equity Fund is subject to the risk that its long positions may decline in value at the same time that the market value of securities sold short increases, thereby increasing the magnitude of the loss that you may suffer on your investment as compared with more conventional stock mutual funds.
 
Stocks of large-size companies tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. As a result, during a period when these stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds or stocks of mid- or small-size companies, for instance — the Fund’s performance also will lag those investments.

3. Risk factors (continued):
 
A Fund may also be subject to additional risk because it invests primarily in the stocks of companies with small and mid-sized market capitalizations, which tend to be less liquid and more volatile than stocks of companies with larger market capitalizations. These companies may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees. In addition, small and mid cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. As a result, during a period when these stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds or stocks of large-size companies, for instance — the Fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
A Fund may sell a security short by borrowing it from a third party and selling it at the then-current market price. The Fund is then obligated to buy the security on a later date so it can return the security to the lender. Short sales therefore involve the risk that the Fund will incur a loss by subsequently buying a security at a higher price than the price at which the Fund previously sold the security short. Moreover, because a Fund’s loss on a short sale arises from increases in the value of the security sold short, the extent of such loss, like the price of the security sold short, is theoretically unlimited. By contrast, a Fund’s loss on a long position arises from decreases in the value of the security and therefore is limited by the fact that a security’s value cannot drop below zero.
 
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
 
The Trust’s Board of Trustees oversees the general conduct of the Trust and the Funds.
 
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “Manager”) is the investment adviser of the Funds and manages the Funds’ business, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees. AXA Rosenberg Investment Management LLC (“AXA Rosenberg”), the Funds’ sub-adviser, provides day-to-day portfolio management services to the Funds, subject to the supervision of CSIM.
 
For its advisory services to each Fund, the Investment Adviser is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on the Funds’ average daily net assets described as follows.

**  There is no Expense Limit for Adviser Shares of the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund. However, effective November 1, 2007 through October 31, 2008 the Manager had agreed to voluntarily waive 0.03% of the Adviser Shares expenses. In addition, effective November 1, 2007 through October 31, 2008 the Manager had agreed to voluntarily waive 0.03% of the Investor Shares expenses.

Effective May 5, 2009, no further fees will be assessed under the Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan or for sub-accounting and sub-transfer agency services on the Investor Shares of the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Value Fund, which will make the expense limitation on the Investor Shares 0.84%.
 
Any amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment through the next two fiscal years, to the extent that the repayment will not cause the Funds’ net expenses to exceed the current limit (as stated in CSIM’s contractual undertaking) during the respective year. As of March 31, 2009, the balance of recoupable expenses is as follows:

5. Other Shareholders Services:
 
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (BFDS) provides the transfer agent services to the Funds, and receives transfer agent fees from the Funds as shown in the Statement of Operations.
 
The Trust has a Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan with respect to its Investor Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Investor Shares of the Funds are sold on a continuous basis by the Trust’s distributor- ALPS Distributors, Inc. Under the Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan, the Funds pay distribution and shareholder servicing fees in connection with the sale and servicing of the Investor Shares. The annual Distribution and Shareholder Service Fee consists of up to 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of the Investor Shares. In addition, the Trustees have authorized each Fund to pay up to 0.15% of its average daily net assets attributable to Investor Shares for sub-transfer agent and sub-accounting services in connection with such shares.
 
Various service organizations act as servicing agents of the Adviser Shares of the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund. Such shares are subject to an annual Service Fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to such shares in accordance with a Service Plan adopted by the Trust. In addition, the Trustees have authorized the Fund to pay up to 0.05% of its average daily net assets attributable to Adviser Shares for the sub-agent and sub-accounting services in connection with such shares.

5. Other Shareholders Services (continued):
 
Effective May 5, 2009, no further fees will be assessed on the Investor Shares for U.S. Large Capitalization Value Fund, for sub-transfer agent and sub-accounting services or under the Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan, which will make the expense limitation for the class 0.84%.
 
6. Board of Trustees:
 
Trustees may include people who are officers and/or directors of other fund families affiliated to the investment adviser. Federal securities law limits the percentage of the “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the Laudus Funds are in compliance with these limitations. The Funds did not pay any of the interested persons for their services as trustees, but did pay non-interested persons (Independent Trustees), as noted in each Fund’s Statement of Operations.
 
Until September 2006, a Retirement Plan existed for the Independent Trustees. After the termination of the Retirement Plan, the previously accrued and unpaid benefits continue to be adjusted by performance of the Funds. As a result, the amount of the Retirement Payable to any Independent Trustee may increase or decrease based on the performance of the Funds.
 
7. Borrowing from Banks:
 
The custodian has established a loan agreement for a maximum amount of 10% of total assets for the Laudus Rosenberg Long/Short Equity Fund for temporary borrowing purposes. The Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Fund, Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Value Fund, Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund and Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund have access to custodian overdraft facilities and to an uncommitted line of credit up to a maximum of $100,000,000, as established by State Street Corporation. Interest is calculated based on the market rates at the time of borrowing.
 
There were no borrowings from the line of credit by the Funds during the period. However, the Funds utilized their overdraft facility and incurred interest expense, which is disclosed in the Statement of Operation. The Interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.
 
8. Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities:
 
For the period ended March 31, 2009, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) were as follows:

As of the close of business on September 18, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. was in default of the security lending agreement with the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund and the U.S. Small Capitalization Fund (“the Funds”). As a result the Funds took possession of the collateral and repurchased the securities on loan through open market purchases. The collateral held exceeded the replacement value of the securities. In accordance with Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions (“FAS 140”) the Funds recognized the following gains or losses that are not recognized for federal income tax purposes:

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 are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses, short-term capital gains and losses; capital losses related to wash sales, unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities; paydowns on fixed-income securities; and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the Funds for financial reporting purposes. The Funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
 
The permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between capital accounts and other accounts as required. The adjustments will have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of March 31, 2009, the Funds made the following reclassifications:

Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund
Laudus Rosenberg Long/Short Equity Fund
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Fund, Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Value Fund, Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund, Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund and Laudus Rosenberg Long/Short Equity Fund (five of the portfolios constituting Laudus Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at March 31, 2009, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at March 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

All fund and index figures on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. Index figures do not include trading and management costs, which would lower performance. Indices are unmanaged, and you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized. Redemption fees charged on shares sold or exchanged 30 days or less after purchasing them may affect share level returns.
Fund expenses may have been partially absorbed by CSIM. Without these reductions, the fund’s returns would have been lower. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
There are risks associated with investing in foreign companies, such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability, fluctuations in currency and exchange rates, and an increased risk of price volatility associated with less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements. Investing in emerging markets accentuates these risks. Investments in emerging markets may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries.
Small-company stocks are subject to greater volatility than other asset categories. Foreign securities can involve risks such as political and economic instability and currency risk. These risks may be greater in emerging markets.
Please see prospectus for further detail and investor eligibility requirements.
Return for the report period presented in the table differs from the return in the Financial Highlights. The total return presented in the above table is calculated based on the NAV at which shareholder transactions were processed. The total return presented in the financial highlights section of the report is calculated in the same manner, but also taking into account certain adjustments that are necessary under generally accepted accounting principles which are required when preparing the annual report.

From the President

Jeffrey Mortimer is President, CEO, and CIO of Laudus Funds and SVP of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. He joined the firm in 1997 and has held a variety of executive positions at Schwab.

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
In the past year, financial markets were besieged with volatility and turmoil, while many economies across the globe experienced slower growth or recession, making investment conditions some of the most difficult in history. Although returns were relatively better in March, the fiscal year was characterized by two particularly bearish periods – the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009. In this environment, major equity indices experienced significant declines. The Russell 1000 Index, for example, was down 38% for the reporting period, while the Russell 1000 Value Index declined 42%. On average, returns were down in all major sectors. The fixed income space, usually a bright spot in down markets, was not immune to the current market malady, with the Citigroup Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index down around 6%.
 
Within the Laudus Rosenberg Fund Family, returns in the funds followed the general downdraft on equity and fixed income prices. In both the U.S. and International fund groups, returns were down between 40-50% on average, indicating that various un-hedged investment strategies were similarly affected by overall market declines. In general, modest outperformance and underperformance relative to funds’ respective benchmarks was primarily attributable to stock selection. For more detail, please see the portfolio manager’s commentary in the following pages.
 
The Laudus Rosenberg Funds are sub-advised by AXA Rosenberg Investment Management, LLC, one of the world’s premier equity specialists and institutional money managers. Through the Laudus Rosenberg Funds offering, this distinctive approach to investment management is easily accessible to independent advisors and individual investors.
 
During the reporting period, the Board approved changes to the Laudus Rosenberg subadvisory contracts between AXA Rosenberg and CSIM effective April 1, 2009. These changes simplify the subadvisory contracts but do not have any impact on the overall advisory fees paid by the Laudus Rosenberg Funds. Additional information is available in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.
 
In closing, I would remind you that should you have any questions about the funds we are available to answer them at 1-800-447-3332.
 
Thank you for investing with us.
 
Sincerely,
 
-s-Jeffery-Mortimer

The Investment Environment
 
 
The past twelve months produced significant negative returns and high volatility in global capital markets, and nearly all major equity indexes lost more than 40%. Generally, U.S. equity markets fared slightly better than international ones, while fixed income outperformed both. Commodity indexes also lost value. Globally, losses were highly synchronized, exhibiting a pattern typical during periods of global economic weakness.
 
In the U.S., large-cap stocks lost about 38% for the period, but with a wide spread between growth- and value-style equities, as growth outperformed value by about 8%. U.S. small-caps slightly outperformed U.S. large-caps, losing just under 38%. U.S. small-cap growth stocks outperformed value, but still lost more than 36%. Internationally, the results were worse. International large-cap stocks lost nearly 47%, but outperformed international small-cap stocks, which were down more than 48%. As occurred in the U.S., international growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts, but the difference was less, with growth leading by around 3%.
 
 
What caused these weak returns, especially during a relatively short period of time of twelve months? In essence, the credit crisis that began in the summer of 2007 dominated the capital markets during the period. In September 2008, Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, while the U.S. government intervened in the operations of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and AIG. Several banks also failed, especially during the second half of the reporting period. Companies in all areas but especially in the financial services sector deleveraged their balance sheets. Over the past several years, individuals and companies borrowed significant amounts of capital. Individuals typically used the loans to purchase homes and autos. In turn, many financial companies leveraged their balance sheets to buy these loans and build and sell marketable securities composed of them, such as mortgage-backed securities. On the open market, these securities could be bought by institutional investors and hedge funds, for example. As credit tightened, many of the loans – both consumer and corporate – went into default, requiring firms to acquire capital to shore up their balance sheets or to sell assets to reduce their debt.
 
Investors and lenders were worried about the value of the debt on company balance sheets. In some cases, there were no bidders for the corporate obligations and securitized assets that were being offered for sale. Without bids, it became difficult to value these securities, and as default rates rose prices became even more depressed. Eventually, the solvency of corporations with large portfolios of leveraged debt was questioned. In this environment, investors took defensive action by reducing their corporate equity exposure. Thus, the equity markets declined precipitously as investors migrated to the safety of government debt.
 
A few areas performed well. One notable area was the U.S. Treasury market, generally considered the lowest default risk fixed income investment. Short-term Treasury bills gained about 1% during the period, and Treasury bonds maturing in the next ten to twenty years returned about 12%. More diversified fixed income investments also generated positive returns, typically around 3%, as investors flocked to defensive investments.
 
From a global sector perspective, financial stocks were down nearly 60% on average, primarily due to impacts following the credit crunch. Materials, down more than 50%, and Energy stocks, off about 40%, did poorly due to the deleveraging process described above and due to investors’ movements out of equity positions. Industrials and Consumer Discretionary stocks also lost between 40-50%, on average. On a relative basis,

global Health Care and Consumer Staples firms performed better, down around 22% and 30%, respectively; these sectors are generally considered to be defensive investments in times of economic or market stress.
 
Among major developed economies, Japan performed the best during the period, losing about 36% in U.S. dollar terms. The U.S. did slightly worse, down nearly 38%. Most European countries lost more than 45%. It is important to note that through most of the reporting period, the U.S. dollar rallied against the British pound and the Euro, pushing the European returns lower for U.S. dollar-based investors. Emerging markets as a group performed in line with developed markets, losing about 47% in the twelve-month period. A few emerging markets such as Russia lost nearly 70%, but a surprising number such as China did relatively well, losing about 35%.
 
The dollar’s gains also impacted commodity prices, and most commodity indexes were down more than 50% for the twelve-month period. Crude oil lost 67% for the period, in contrast to the rise in prices over the last few years. Metals and agricultural prices also declined, partially in response to expectations of slowing economies around the globe and thus a likelihood of lower demand. Gold was one relative bright spot among commodity returns, losing about 1% for the period.

The Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund Investor Shares returned -50.04% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, underperforming the benchmark MSCI EAFE Index, which returned -46.20%. Persistent volatility, investor risk aversion, and a global economic recession weighed heavily on international equity prices during the reporting period. On a relative basis, underperformance versus the benchmark was principally attributable to stock selection in Europe.
 
Returns were strongly negative in all sectors represented in the fund. In this particularly difficult investment environment, un-hedged equity funds generally declined following the downward pricing pressure in equity markets. On a sector specific level, Materials, Industrials, and Financials declined the most. Prices in the Material and Industrial sectors declined primarily as investors priced in slower global growth and decreased demand amidst economic recession. Corporations within the Financial sector, particularly banks, ailed as credit constraints and corporate restructuring continued to adversely impact markets and stock prices. Better performing sectors were Utilities, Telecomm Services, and Health Care. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection in and an overweight to Materials, along with stock selection in Industrials led the detractors. Within Materials, an overweight to Xstrata detracted the most among individual holdings. However, in the Telecomm Services sector, an overweight to France Telecomm helped to partially offset.
 
From a price-to-earnings (P/E) standpoint, returns were down across the board. Companies with negative P/E ratios experienced the most significant decline. Over 90% of the fund is allocated to companies with mid to low P/E ratios. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection in companies with low P/E ratios detracted from returns.
 
When looking at market capitalization, returns were again negative across the board. In general, returns in the $25-50 billion range and the $150 billion and above range were most negative. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection in companies with market caps of $50 billion and below primarily accounted for underperformance.
 
In terms of price-to-book (P/B) ratios, returns were down across the spectrum. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection in companies with low P/B ratios accounted for most of the underperformance.

Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund
 
 
The Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund Investor Shares returned -46.33% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, outperforming the benchmark S&P Global ex U.S. Broad Market Index $2-10 Billion Cap Range, which returned -47.13%. Persistent volatility, investor risk aversion, and a global economic recession weighed heavily on international equity prices during the reporting period. All major sectors represented in the fund and benchmark declined. On a relative basis, outperformance was generally attributable to stock selection in Asia/Pacific and Latin America.
 
Despite the fund’s modest outperformance relative to the benchmark, returns were strongly negative in all sectors represented in the fund. In this particularly difficult investment environment, un-hedged equity funds generally declined following the downward pricing pressure in equity markets. On a sector specific level, Materials, Industrials, and Energy declined the most. Prices in the Material and Industrial sectors declined primarily as investors priced in slower global growth and decreased demand amidst economic recession. Although stronger earlier in the period, the Energy sector experienced significant downward pricing pressure as the economic recession deepened and growth slowed. Better performing sectors were Utilities and Health Care. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection in Health Care and Utilities benefitted the most.
 
From a price-to-earnings (P/E) standpoint, returns were down across the board. Companies with negative P/E ratios experienced the most significant declines. Like the benchmark, the fund is primarily allocated to companies with mid to low P/E ratios. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection in companies with low P/E ratios generally benefitted the fund, as did selection in companies with very high P/E ratios.
 
When looking at market capitalization, returns were again negative across the board. In general, returns in the $7.5 billion and above range were most negative. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection in companies within the $7.5 billion and above range benefitted the fund, while selection in companies with market caps below $7.5 billion generally detracted.
 
In terms of price-to-book (P/B) ratios, returns were down across the spectrum. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection in companies with low P/B ratios generally detracted from performance.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
 
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: transaction costs, such as redemption fees; and, ongoing costs, such as management fees, transfer agent and shareholder services fees, and other fund expenses.
 
The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for period beginning October 1, 2008 and held through March 31, 2009.
 
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ¸ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund or share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period”.
 
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s or share class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
 
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Financial Notes
 
 
1. Business Structure of the Funds:
 
Each of the Laudus Rosenberg Funds in this report is a series of Laudus Trust (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The list below shows all the funds in the Trust including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted (individually each such highlighted portfolio, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
 
     
 
Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund
Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund
Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Fund
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Large Capitalization Value Fund
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Discovery Fund
Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund
Laudus Rosenberg Long/Short Equity Fund
  Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund
Laudus Mondrian Global Equity Fund
Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund
Laudus Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund
     
 
As of May 31, 2007, the Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund closed to all investors, except the Fund will continue to offer shares to certain qualified retirement plans and through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
 
The Institutional Shares were redesignated as Select Shares effective July 31, 2008, for all Laudus Rosenberg Funds.
 
Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Investor Shares and Select Shares of no par value. Each class of shares generally has identical rights and preferences, except that each class is subject to different eligibility conditions, bear different distribution and sub-transfer agent expenses, and separate voting rights on matters pertaining solely to that class of shares.
 
Each Fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its accounts, each Fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the Funds use in the preparation of their financial statements. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
(a) Security Valuation
 
The Funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The Funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the valuation date exchange rate.
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available or when a significant event has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time the Funds calculate net asset value: valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using guidelines adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees and the Pricing Committee. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued at fair value include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price, or certain foreign securities’ closing market values adjusted for changes in value that may occur between the close of foreign exchange and the time at which Funds’ shares are priced. The Board of Trustees regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the Funds pursuant to the procedures.
 
  •  Short-term debt securities (60 days or less to maturity): valued at amortized cost, when it approximates market value.
 
  •  Underlying funds: valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those Funds in accordance with the 1940 Act for a given day.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
(b) Portfolio Investments:
 
Futures Contract: The Funds may invest in futures contracts. Futures contracts involve certain risks because they can be very sensitive to market movements.
 
One risk is that the price of a futures contract may not move in perfect correlation with the price of the underlying securities. Another risk is that, at certain times, it may be impossible for a Fund to close out a position in a futures contract, due to a difference in trading hours or to market conditions that may reduce the liquidity for a futures contract or its underlying securities. The potential for losses associated with futures contracts may exceed amounts recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
Because futures contracts carry inherent risks, a Fund must give the broker a deposit of cash and/or securities (the “initial margin”) whenever it enters into the futures contract. The amount of the deposit may vary from one contract to another, but it is generally a percentage of the contract amount. 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 gains or losses. Futures are traded publicly on exchanges, and their market value changes daily.
 
Forward Currency Contract: The Funds may invest in forward currency contracts in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities to minimize the uncertainty of changes in future foreign currency exchange rates. “Forwards”, as they are known, are contracts to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. Forwards are similar to futures except that they are not publicly traded, but are agreements directly between two parties.
 
As with futures, forwards involve certain risks that are not fully reflected in the Funds’ financial statements. If counter-parties to the contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably, the Funds could sustain a loss.
 
Real Estate Investment Trusts: Certain Funds may own shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Certain distributions received from REITs during the year, which are known to be a return of capital, are recorded as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT.
 
Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a Fund buys a security from another party (usually a financial institution) with the agreement that it be sold back in the future. The date, price and other conditions are all specified when the agreement is created.
 
The Funds’ repurchase agreements will be fully collateralized by U.S. government securities or U.S. government agency securities. All collateral is held by the Funds’ custodian (or, with tri-party agreements, the agent’s bank) and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value is at least equal to the repurchase price under the agreement.
 
Securities Lending: Under the Securities Lending Program, securities held by the Funds may be loaned by State Street Corporation, as agent, to certain brokers (the “Borrowers”). The Borrowers provide cash or U.S. government securities as collateral against loans in an amount at least equal to 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. There were no securities on loan as of March 31, 2009.
 
The cash collateral of securities loaned is invested in high quality, short-term investments such as money market funds and U.S. government securities. The investments of collateral are marked-to-market daily and the value of the collateral must be at least 100% of the market value of the loan securities each day.
 
(c) Security Transactions:
 
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies, including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the fluctuations on investments resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuation 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 are subject to non-U.S. taxes. The Funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.

 Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Funds
 

 
Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
When a Fund closes out a futures or forwards position, it calculates the difference between the value of the position at the beginning and at the end of the contract, and records a realized gain or loss accordingly. A Fund records the daily change in market value of futures, and also the change in the amount of margin deposit required (“due to/from broker”).
 
(d) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying mutual funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the Funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date.
 
(e) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a Fund or a class within the trust are charged directly to that Fund or class. Expenses that are common to all Funds within the trust generally are allocated among the Funds in proportion to their average daily net assets.
 
For Funds offering multiple share classes, the net investment income, other than class specific expenses, and the realized and unrealized gains or losses, are allocated daily to each class in proportion to its average daily net assets.
 
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The Funds make distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains once a year, if any.
 
(g) Custody Credit
 
Certain Funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank under which the Fund receives a credit for its uninvested cash balance to offset its custody fees and accounting fees. The credit amounts (if any) are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to the Funds’ operating expenses.
 
h) Accounting Estimates:
 
The accounting policies described in this report conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates.
 
(i) Federal Income Taxes:
 
The Funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains (if any) to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a Fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
 
(j) Indemnification:
 
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
 
(k) Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective April 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
 
  •  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2009:

On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff position (“FSP”) No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 on the Funds’ or Investment Company’s financial statement disclosures.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about Funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

3. Risk factors:
 
Investing in the Funds may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below:
 
An investment in any of the Funds involves risks similar to those of investing in common stocks directly. Just as with common stocks, the value of Fund shares may increase or decrease depending on market, economic, political, regulatory and other conditions affecting a Fund’s portfolio. These types of risks may be greater with respect to investments in securities of foreign issuers. Investment in shares of the Funds is, like an investment in common stocks, more volatile and risky than some other forms of investment. This risk is significant for all Funds.
 
Stocks of large-size companies tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. As a result, during a period when these stocks fall behind other types of investments—bonds or stocks of mid- or small-size companies, for instance—the Fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
A Fund may also be subject to additional risk because it invests primarily in the stocks of companies with small and mid-sized market capitalizations, which tend to be less liquid and more volatile than stocks of companies with larger market capitalizations. These companies may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees. In addition, small and mid cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. As a result, during a period when these stocks fall behind other types of investments—bonds or stocks of large-size companies, for instance—the Fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
Investments in securities of foreign issuers involve certain risks that are more significant than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, or changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges). In certain countries, legal remedies available to investors may be more limited than those available with respect to investments in the United States. The securities of some foreign companies may be less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. A fund with foreign investments may also experience more rapid or extreme changes in value than a fund that invests solely in securities of U.S. companies because the securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries.
 
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
 
The Trust’s Board of Trustees oversees the general conduct of the Trust and the Funds.
 
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM” or the “Manager”) is the investment adviser of the Funds and manages the Funds’ business, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees. AXA Rosenberg Investment Management LLC (“AXA Rosenberg”), the Funds’ sub-adviser, provides day-to-day portfolio management services to the Funds, subject to the supervision of CSIM.
 
For its advisory services to each Fund, the Investment Adviser is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on the Funds’ average daily net assets described as follows.

5. Other Shareholders Services:
 
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (BFDS) provides the transfer agent services to the Funds, and receives transfer agent fees from the Funds as shown in the Statement of Operations.
 
The Trust has a Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan with respect to its Investor Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Investor Shares of the Funds are sold on a continuous basis by the Trust’s distributor — ALPS Distributors, Inc. Under the Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan, the Funds pay distribution and shareholder servicing fees in connection with the sale and servicing of the Investor Shares. The annual Distribution and Shareholder Service Fee consists of up to 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of the Investor Shares. In addition, the Trustees have authorized each Fund to pay up to 0.15% of its average daily net assets attributable to Investor Shares for sub-transfer agent and sub-accounting services in connection with such shares.
 
6. Board of Trustees:
 
Trustees may include people who are officers and/or directors of other fund families affiliated to the investment adviser. Federal securities law limits the percentage of the “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the Laudus Funds are in compliance with these limitations. The Funds did not pay any of the interested persons for their services as trustees, but did pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as noted in each Fund’s Statement of Operations.
 
Until September 2006, a Retirement Plan existed for the Independent Trustees. After the termination of the Retirement Plan, the previously accrued and unpaid benefits continue to be adjusted by performance of the Funds. As a result, the amount of the Retirement Payable to any Independent Trustee may increase or decrease based on the performance of the Funds.
 
7. Borrowing from Banks:
 
The Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund, Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund and Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund have access to custodian overdraft facilities and to an uncommitted line of credit up to a maximum of $100,000,000, as established by State Street Corporation. Interest is calculated based on the market rates at the time of borrowing.

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 are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses, short-term capital gains and losses; capital losses related to wash sales, unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities; paydowns on fixed-income securities; and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the Funds for financial reporting purposes. The Funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
 
The permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between capital account and other accounts as required. The adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of March 31, 2009, the Funds made the following reclassifications:

As of March 31, 2009, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and state purposes, four years from the date of filing), as applicable to the Funds, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended March 31, 2009, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of:
Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund
Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund
Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund, Laudus Rosenberg International Discovery Fund and Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund (three of the portfolios constituting Laudus Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at March 31, 2009, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at March 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

THE LAUDUS FUNDS
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS
FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS
OUR VISION
Provide shareholders with the most useful and ethical Mutual Funds in the world.
OUR VALUES
Be fair, empathetic and responsive in serving our shareholders.
Strive relentlessly to innovate what we do and how we do it.
Always earn and be worthy of our shareholders’ trust.
SHAREHOLDER VALUE
The Laudus Funds’ Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer and any other officers who serve a similar function shall endeavor to act in the best interests of the Laudus Funds and their shareholders.
Introduction
The Laudus Funds Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (“Code”) covers all of the investment companies within the Laudus Funds’ complex. This Code applies to the Laudus Funds’ Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer and any other officers who serve a similar function (each an “Officer”).
The Laudus Funds are committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct in the fulfillment of our Vision and Values. We are proud of our long-standing reputation for integrity and honesty that strengthens our Vision to provide our shareholders with the most useful and ethical mutual funds in the world. This reputation is not just a source of competitive advantage in the financial services industry; it is fundamental to the way we do business.
This Code provides guidance on how you, as an Officer, uphold these ethical standards. It applies to your service to the Laudus Funds.
The Code consists of an outline of policies regarding conduct in several key areas: ethical behavior and legal compliance, conflicts of interest, confidentiality and business practices. You are responsible for reviewing the Code and for acting in compliance with the Code in your daily activities.
The Code is not exhaustive; it provides guidance for carrying out your responsibilities on behalf of the Laudus Funds and observing the highest standards of ethical conduct. Because the Code does not address every possible situation that may arise, you are responsible for exercising good judgment, applying ethical principles, and raising questions when in doubt. Your integrity and good judgment enhance the Laudus Funds’ brand, build the Laudus Funds’ reputation, and are the foundation of trust for our shareholder and business relationships.
General Laudus Funds and Personal Standards of Conduct
As an Officer you have a responsibility to act in a manner in which you earn the public’s trust and confidence. Your conduct is guided by our values, which are to:
  §     Be fair, empathetic and responsive in serving our shareholders.
 
  §     Strive relentlessly to innovate what we do and how we do it.
 
  §    Always earn and be worthy of our shareholders’ trust.

- 1 -


 

Laudus Funds Conduct
The following general principles guide our Laudus Funds conduct:
  §     You will act in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and will not tolerate behavior that is otherwise.
 
  §    You will make public disclosures as required by law and regulation and as deemed appropriate to enable reasonable evaluation of the Laudus Funds.
 
  §    You will strive to provide an equitable return for our investors.
 
  §     You will provide products and services designed to help shareholders achieve their financial goals.
 
  §     You will conduct business fairly, in open competition.
Individual Conduct
The following general principles guide your individual conduct:
  §    You will not take any action that will violate any applicable law or regulation.
 
  §     You will adhere to the highest standards of ethical conduct.
 
  §    You will maintain the confidentiality of all information you obtain in the course of your employment.
 
  §    You will escalate issues which you reasonably believe may place the Laudus Funds at risk, and report any behavior you reasonably believe is wrong.
 
  §    You will not abuse or take the Laudus Funds’ assets or use them for your personal gain.
 
  §     You will not engage in any activities that create a conflict of interest (as defined below) between you and the Laudus Funds.
 
  §    You will comport yourself publicly in a manner that does not bring discredit on the Laudus Funds.
 
  §    You will deal fairly with shareholders, colleagues and others.
 
  §     You will comply with this Code.
You have personal responsibility to conduct the Laudus Funds’ business in a manner consistent with these principles, and you cannot avoid this responsibility by contrary instructions from a supervisor or by turning a blind eye. Many of these principles are explained in more detail below and in the Laudus Funds’ other polices and procedures. If you have questions on any of them, you should consult with the Chief Legal Officer of the Laudus Funds or the Chief Compliance Officer of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”).
Ethical Behavior
Your decisions and behavior have far-reaching implications. Standards of ethical and professional conduct reflect on the individual, on the Laudus Funds brand, and on the investment industry as a whole. A strong personal sense of ethics should always play a significant role in guiding you towards a proper course of action.

- 2 -


 

Compliance with Laws, Rules, Regulations and Policies
The foundation of the Laudus Funds’ ethical standards is compliance with the letter and spirit of the law. You must respect and obey all of the laws, rules and regulations applicable to our business, including among others, securities and other federal, state and local laws. You are responsible for being familiar and complying with the Laudus Funds’ policies and procedures. Although you are not expected to know the details of each law governing our business, you are expected to be familiar with and comply with the Laudus Funds’ policies and procedures and, when in doubt, to seek advice from the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Compliance Officer as outlined in this Code.
Consequences for Failure to Comply and Reporting Certain Conduct
You can be subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment if you violate this Code. If you know of, or reasonably believe there is, a violation of applicable laws or this Code, you must report that information immediately to the Chief Legal Officer. You should not conduct preliminary investigations, unless authorized to do so by the Chief Legal Officer. Anyone who in good faith raises an issue regarding a possible violation of law regulation or Laudus Funds policy or any suspected illegal or unethical behavior will be protected from retaliation.
Conflicts of Interest
To maintain the highest ethical standards in conducting our business, it is important that you do not place yourself in a position that would cloud your judgment in carrying out the business affairs of the Laudus Funds. A “conflict of interest” occurs when your private interest interferes in any way — or even appears to interfere — with the interests of the Laudus Funds. You have a duty to report any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to be or to create a conflict of interest with the Laudus Funds. If you have any questions regarding what might constitute a conflict of interest, or to report any transaction or relationship that you believe has occurred or may occur that might constitute a conflict of interest, contact the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Compliance Officer.
Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Officers and the Laudus Funds and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Investment Advisers Act”). For example, Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Laudus Funds because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Laudus Funds. The Laudus Funds’ and CSIM’s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.
Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Laudus Funds and CSIM. Each Officer may also be an officer or employee of CSIM or Schwab. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Laudus Funds or for CSIM, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on CSIM and the Laudus Funds. The participation of the Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Laudus Funds and CSIM and is consistent with the performance by the Officers of their duties as officers of the Laudus Funds. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Trustees that the Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

Inside Information
It is unlawful to trade in the securities of any Laudus Funds on the basis of material nonpublic (or inside) information or to disclose such information to others who may profit from it. Generally, material information is any information that an investor would likely consider important in deciding whether to buy, sell or hold securities or that could affect the market price of the securities. Examples include actual or estimated financial results or change in dividends; significant discoveries or product developments; possible mergers, acquisitions or divestitures; major changes in business strategies; obtaining or losing significant contracts; and threatened major litigation or related developments. Do not disclose inside information to anyone except those who have a need to know it in order to fulfill their responsibilities for the Laudus Funds and in accordance with Laudus Funds policy. If you have or receive information and are unsure whether it is within the definition of inside information or whether its release might be contrary to a fiduciary or other obligation, contact the Chief Legal Officer prior to disclosing any such information.
Acceptance of Gifts or Entertainment
The acceptance of gifts or excessive entertainment from shareholders, vendors, suppliers, competitors or other employees must not constitute a conflict of interest or create the appearance of impropriety. You may accept small gifts and entertainment that are worth less than the amount Charles Schwab Corporation policy sets as a limit, but you must be personally satisfied that the gift or entertainment is not intended to influence your judgment or the performance of your duties. If you have any questions regarding the appropriateness of a gift, you must obtain approval from the Chief Compliance Officer before accepting it.
Confidentiality of Information
As mutual funds, we have particular responsibilities for safeguarding the information of our shareholders and the proprietary information of the Laudus Funds. You should be mindful of this obligation when you use the telephone, fax, telex, electronic mail, and other electronic means of storing and transmitting information. You should not discuss confidential information in public areas where it can be overheard, read confidential documents in public places, nor leave or discard confidential documents where they can be retrieved by others.
Confidentiality of Shareholder Information
Information concerning the identity of Laudus Funds’ underlying shareholders and their transactions and accounts is confidential. Such information may not be disclosed to persons working on behalf of the Laudus Funds except as they may need to know it in order to fulfill their responsibilities to the Laudus Funds. You may not disclose such information to anyone or any firm outside the Laudus Funds unless (i) the outside firm needs to know the information in order to perform services for the Laudus Funds and is bound to maintain its confidentiality; (ii) when the shareholder has consented or been given an opportunity to request that the information not be shared; (iii) as required by law; or (iv) as authorized by the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Compliance Officer.
Information regarding shareholder or Laudus Funds transactions must not be used in any way to influence trades in personal accounts or in the accounts of other shareholders, including those of other employees, officers and directors. Trading ahead of shareholder or Laudus Funds transactions is known as frontrunning and is prohibited. Following shareholder or Laudus Funds transactions with your trading activity is known as piggybacking or shadowing and is likewise prohibited. If you reasonably believe improper trading in personal, shareholder or Laudus Funds accounts has occurred, you must report such conduct to the Chief Legal Officer.

Privacy
The Laudus Funds is committed to safeguarding its customers’ privacy. We do not sell any personally identifiable customer information. Sharing of such information with third parties is limited to situations related to the processing and servicing of customer accounts, and to specifically delineated exceptions in the federal privacy law. We share information with our affiliates as allowed by federal law. You must be familiar with the procedural and systemic safeguards we maintain to protect this information and report any breaches of these safeguards to the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Compliance Officer.
Proprietary Information of the Laudus Funds
You have the responsibility to safeguard the Laudus Funds’ proprietary information. Proprietary information includes intellectual property (copyrights, trademarks or patents or trade secrets), particular know-how (business or organizational designs, or business, marketing or service plans or ideas) and sensitive information about the Laudus Funds (databases, records, salary information or unpublished financial reports). If you have any questions about what constitutes proprietary information, or if you believe such information has been compromised, contact the Chief Legal Officer.
Protection and Use of Laudus Funds Assets
You are obligated to protect the Laudus Funds’ assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Laudus Funds. Laudus Funds equipment should not be used for non-Laudus Funds business, though incidental personal use may be permitted. Breaches of this obligation must be reported to the Chief Legal Officer.
Non-Retaliation
It is your obligation to report issues regarding possible violations of business regulations or this Code when you suspect in good faith that a violation may have or might occur. No Officer will be retaliated against for making a good faith complaint or bringing inappropriate conduct to the Laudus Funds’ attention, for assisting another Officer in making a good faith report, for cooperating in an investigation, or for filing an administrative claim with a state or federal governmental agency. Any employee who engages in retaliatory conduct in violation of our policies will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. If you reasonably believe retaliatory conduct has occurred, you must report such conduct to the Chief Legal Officer.
Business Practices
It is your obligation to report issues regarding possible violations of business regulations or this Code when you suspect in good faith that a violation may have or might occur. As a financial institution, it is imperative that we operate with efficiency, and the highest business standards and that we maintain and provide accurate information.
Financial Disclosures
The Laudus Funds are committed to providing full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Laudus Funds file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory agencies and in other public communications made by the Laudus Funds. You are required to comply with Laudus Funds policies and procedures to provide such full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure. If you have any questions about your duties in supporting the Laudus Funds’ financial reporting processes, contact the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Compliance Officer.

Conduct of Audits
Neither you nor any other person acting under your direction shall directly or indirectly take any action to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate, or mislead any independent public or certified public accountant engaged in the performance of an audit or review of the Laudus Funds’ financial statements.
Types of conduct that constitute improper influence include, but are not limited to, directly or indirectly:
  §    Offering or paying bribes or other financial incentives, including offering future employment or contracts for non-audit services;
 
  §     Providing an auditor with inaccurate or misleading legal analysis;
 
  §    Threatening to cancel or canceling existing non-audit or audit engagements if the auditor objects to the issuer’s accounting;
 
  §    Seeking to have a partner removed from the audit engagement because the partner objects to the Laudus Funds’ accounting;
 
  §    Blackmailing; and
 
  §    Making physical threats.
If you reasonably believe improper influence has occurred, you must report such conduct to the Chief Legal Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer.
Record-Keeping
We require honest and accurate recording and reporting of information to maintain the integrity of our business records and to make responsible business decisions. The Laudus Funds’ books, records and accounts must (i) accurately reflect all transactions of the Laudus Funds and all other events that are subject of a specific regulatory record-keeping requirement; (ii) be maintained in reasonable detail; and (iii) conform both to applicable legal requirements and to the Laudus Funds’ system of internal controls. Unrecorded or “off the books” funds or assets are prohibited unless permitted by applicable law or regulation. Business records must not contain exaggeration, derogatory remarks, guesswork, or inappropriate characterizations of people and companies. This applies equally to e-mail, internal memoranda, formal reports, and all other forms of business records. You must be familiar with the Laudus Funds’ record retention policies and always retain or destroy records according to them. In the event of litigation, governmental investigation or the threat of such action, you should consult the Chief Legal Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer regarding record retention.
Sales Practices
If you transact business for shareholders, you are required to know and observe the Laudus Funds’ specific policies and procedures for shareholder sales and transactions, such as the content and use of sales materials, documentation for transactions, quotations and suitability. Likewise, if you transact business with third parties (such as vendors or suppliers), you will be required to know and observe the Laudus Funds’ policies and procedures for such transactions, such as marketing policies, procedures for performing due diligence on third parties, and obtaining proper authorizations for any agreements. You must be familiar with any enumerated policies and procedures governing your sales activities and use good judgment in complying with them. You must seek advice from the Chief Legal Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer if you have any questions.

Competition and Fair Dealing
We operate our business fairly and honestly. We seek competitive advantage through performance and dedication to our Vision and Values and never through unethical or illegal business practices. It is our policy to comply with anti-trust laws. These laws are complex and not easily summarized but at a minimum require that there be no agreement or understanding between the Laudus Funds and their competitors that affect prices, terms or conditions of sale or that unreasonably restrain full and fair competition. You must always respect the rights of and deal fairly with the Laudus Funds’ shareholders and competitors. You must never take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair dealing practice. If you have any question about what constitutes an unfair business practice, you should consult the Chief Legal Officer.
Prohibition of Bribery and Kickbacks
Our policies prohibit bribery or kickbacks of any kind and to anyone in the conduct of our business. The U.S. government has a number of laws and regulations applicable specifically to business gratuities that may be accepted by U.S. and foreign government personnel. The promise, offer or delivery to an official or employee of the U.S. government or an official, employee or candidate of a foreign government of a gift, favor, payment or other gratuity in violation of these rules would not only violate Laudus Funds policy but could also be a criminal offense. Similarly, federal law, as well as the laws of many states, prohibits engaging in “commercial bribery.” Commercial bribery involves soliciting, demanding or agreeing to accept anything of value from any person intending to influence or be rewarded in connection with any business or transaction, and prohibits all such behavior, for example, with respect to vendors, competitors, shareholders, and government employees. If you have any questions or need any guidance, you should contact the Chief Legal Officer.
Compliance Procedures
We will work together to ensure compliance with the Code and to take prompt action in response to reported violations of the Code.
Seeking Guidance
If you are unsure of what to do in any situation, seek guidance before you act. Use the Laudus Funds resources, including the Chief Legal Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer. If you feel that it is not appropriate to discuss a matter with the Chief Legal Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer, you may contact the Ombudsperson for the Charles Schwab Corporation. Remember that you must report all incidents of misconduct, and you may do so without fear of retaliation. If you have violated the Code, however, making a report will not protect you from the consequences of your actions.
Reporting Conduct that May be in Violation of the Code
You must report conduct that you believe to be in violation of the Code, Laudus Funds policy, law or regulation. Reports should be escalated in the following manner:
  §    If you have a reasonable belief that a violation has occurred, or may occur, you must report the conduct to the Chief Legal Officer.
 
  §     The Chief Legal Officer will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violation reported to the Chief Legal Officer and will notify counsel for Laudus Funds independent Trustees (“Trustees”) and counsel for the Laudus Funds of the substance of the potential violation.

- 7 -


 

  §     If after investigation, the Chief Legal Officer reasonably believes that no violation has occurred, the Chief Legal Officer is not required to take any further action.
 
  §     Any matter that the Chief Legal Officer believes is a violation will be reported to the Trustees.
 
  §    If the Trustees concur that a violation has occurred, the Trustees will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modification to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of CSIM or its board; notification to appropriate personnel of the Charles Schwab Corporation or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Officer.
Roles in Observing Compliance
As Officer of the Laudus Funds, you have a role in observing compliance with the Code. In general, that includes:
Role of Officers
  §    Read and be familiar with conduct rules outlined in this Code and periodically review them.
 
  §     Affirm in writing to the Trustees that the Officer has received, read and understands the Code.
 
  §    Annually affirm to the Trustees that the Officer has complied with the requirements of the Code.
 
  §     Comply with the conduct standards outlined in this Code in all dealings and actions, including those with shareholders, the public and vendors.
 
  §     Report in a timely manner to the Chief Legal Officer any conduct that may constitute a violation of the Code, Laudus Funds policies, or laws, rules and regulations.
 
  §    Raise questions or concerns about conduct issues with your supervisor, the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Compliance Officer, and seek advice when in doubt.
 
  §    Cooperate with management during fact-finding investigations and comply with any confidentiality rules imposed.
Role of Trustees
  §     Review the Code annually and recommend any changes.
 
  §    Review the Officer reports of compliance with the Code.
Interpretation of Code and Waivers of the Code
The Chief Legal Officer is responsible for applying the Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret the Code in any particular situation. However, waivers of the Code may be made only by the Trustees and will be promptly disclosed publicly as required by law.
Amendments
This Code may not be amended except in written form, which is specifically approved or ratified by a majority of the Trustees including a majority of the independent Trustees. Any amendments will, to the extent required, be disclosed in accordance with law.

Other Policies and Procedures
This Code constitutes the sole code of ethics adopted by the Laudus Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Laudus Funds, CSIM, Charles Schwab & Co., Charles Schwab Corporation or other Laudus Funds service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of an Officer who is subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they conflict with the provisions of this Code. CSIM’s code of ethics under Rule 17j-1 pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 and CSIM’s, Charles Schwab & Co.’s, and the Charles Schwab Corporation’s policies and procedures set forth in their respective compliance manuals and elsewhere are separate requirements applying to the Officers and are not part of this Code.
Confidentiality
All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Trustees, CSIM, the Charles Schwab Corporation and their respective counsel.
Internal Use
This Code is intended for internal use by the Laudus Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Laudus Funds, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
Contacts
If you have further questions about the Code, or about its applicability with respect to a particular matter, please contact the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Compliance Officer. If you feel that it is not appropriate to discuss a matter with Chief Legal Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer, you may contact the Ombudsperson.
