Continued Participation in the Temporary Guarantee Program for Certain Money Market Funds
The Prospectuses are hereby amended and supplemented to reflect the continued participation by each of the funds named above, except the Schwab Government Money Fund and the Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund, in the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”) established by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”).
The initial term of the Program expired on December 18, 2008. In November 2008, the Treasury announced an extension of the Program for the period from December 19, 2008 through April 30,

 


 

2009; and on March 31, 2009, the Treasury announced a further extension of the Program for the period from May 1, 2009 through September 18, 2009 (together, the “Program Extensions”). According to the Treasury, the Program will not be extended beyond September 18, 2009. Under the Program, the Treasury guarantees the share price of a participating fund’s shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008 at $1.00 per share if the fund’s net asset value falls below $0.995. The Program does not protect investors who were not shareholders of a participating fund on September 19, 2008. Further, recovery under the Program is subject to certain conditions and limitations.
The cost of participating in the Program and the Program Extensions is borne by a participating fund, and will not be subject to any expense limitation or reimbursement agreement.
The Schwab Government Money Fund and Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund have determined not to participate in the Program past April 30, 2009.
