This supplement provides new and additional information beyond that contained in the Prospectus and should be read in conjunction with such Prospectus.
 
1.  Changes with respect to the Schwab Retirement Advantage Money Fund:
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) may temporarily and voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in excess of their current fee waiver and reimbursement commitment in an effort to maintain certain net yields for the fund. Under an agreement with the fund, Schwab and/or CSIM may in the future recapture from the fund any excess fees or expenses waived and/or reimbursed under this arrangement. These reimbursement payments by the fund to Schwab and/or CSIM are considered “non-routine expenses” and are not subject to any net operating expense limitations in effect at the time of such payment. Accordingly, the following paragraph is added to the footnote to the fund’s fee table in its Prospectus, listed above:
 
In addition, Schwab and the investment adviser also may waive and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the fund’s net yield at a certain level as determined by Schwab and the investment adviser. Schwab and the investment adviser may recapture from the fund any of these expenses or fees they have waived and/or reimbursed until the third anniversary of the end of the fiscal year in which such waiver and/or reimbursement occurs, subject to certain limitations. This recapture could negatively affect the fund’s future yield.
 
2.  Changes with respect to the Schwab Investor Money Fund:
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) may temporarily and voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an effort to maintain certain net yields for the fund.
