At a meeting held on December 10, 2014, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the Board) approved certain changes to each Funds investment program. In particular, the Board approved changes to each Funds (1) name; (2) principal investment strategies, including each Funds fundamental investment policy adopted pursuant to Rule 35d-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Names Rule) to allow each Fund to invest in securities that are subject to alternative minimum tax (AMT); and (3) fundamental investment objective.
In order to implement these changes, the Board approved submitting the following proposals to shareholders of each Fund for their approval: (1) replacing the Funds fundamental investment policy adopted pursuant to the Names Rule with a new fundamental investment policy; and (2) replacing the Funds fundamental investment objective with a new non-fundamental investment objective. Shareholders of each Fund will be asked to vote on the proposals, in person or by proxy, at a special meeting of shareholders currently scheduled to be held during the first quarter of 2015. Fund shareholders of record should expect to receive a proxy statement that contains further information regarding the proposals and related changes to the Funds. Based on the diminished supply of municipal money market securities available for the Funds to purchase, Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. believes the proposed changes will be beneficial to shareholders.
The changes to the Funds will be effective on or about April 30, 2015, and are expressly conditioned, upon shareholder approval. Implementation of either proposal is not contingent on the other proposal. If one of the proposals is not approved, the Board will determine an appropriate course of action. Additionally, implementation for each Fund is not dependent on the shareholder actions for the other Funds. New Statutory Prospectuses and Summary Prospectuses incorporating the changes will be available at that time. Below is a summary of the proposed changes to the Summary Prospectuses and Statutory Prospectuses:
1. Change to Fund Name
Schwab New York AMT Tax-Free Money Funds name will change to Schwab New York Municipal Money Fund
Schwab New Jersey AMT Tax-Free Money Funds name will change to Schwab New Jersey Municipal Money Fund

2. Changes to Principal Investment Strategies, including the Names Policy
Each Funds principal investment strategies will reflect the Funds new strategy to invest in securities that are subject to AMT. In addition, the fundamental investment policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities that are exempt from AMT will be revised to allow the Funds to invest in securities that are subject to AMT.
The New York AMT Tax-Free Money Funds fundamental investment policy adopted pursuant to the Names Rule will be replaced in its entirety with the following fundamental investment policy: Under normal circumstances,

3. Change to Investment Objective
