Schwab Municipal Money Funds
From the President

Jonathan de St. Paer
President of Charles Schwab
Investment Management, Inc.
and the funds covered
in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
The COVID-19 pandemic broadly reshaped life during 2020—in ways that are likely to reverberate well into the new year and remind us to expect the unexpected. Equity and bond markets experienced rarely seen levels of turmoil and volatility, while money market funds saw yields drop to historic lows in the face of declining interest rates. In March 2020, as the scale of the pandemic became apparent and broad swaths of the U.S. economy began to shut down, U.S. Treasuries of all maturities fell to under 1% for the first time, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield falling to an all-time low in mid-March. By the end of March, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) lowered its policy rate to near zero. As interest rates fell and demand for safe investment harbors grew, yields on U.S. Treasury securities remained historically low. At the same time, demand for municipal money market securities declined, creating spikes in yields and reductions in liquidity. The Fed moved quickly to support money market funds in March, making several programs available that provided liquidity to the market and maintaining credit spreads at more normalized levels.
Although underlying market factors continued to improve throughout the remainder of 2020, money market yields remained near historical lows. Nevertheless, investors continued to rely on money market funds as vehicles for capital preservation and daily liquidity. At Charles Schwab Investment Management, our focus on liquidity and stability enabled us to meet our clients’ ongoing needs. We also continue to monitor yields of the Schwab Money Funds and waive fees as necessary to maintain a yield of zero or greater. Additionally, on September 24, 2020, we lowered expenses on many Schwab Money Funds share classes, simplifying our management fee structure and reducing the complexity of our operating expense ratios. As we embark on a new year, we continue to take great pride in the trust that our investors place in us and are committed to serving our clients through this extraordinarily challenging time.
Thank you for investing with Charles Schwab Investment Management, and for trusting us to help you achieve your financial goals. For more information about the Schwab Municipal Money Funds, please continue reading this report. In addition, you can find further details about these funds by visiting our website at www.schwabfunds.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-877-824-5615.
Sincerely,
Additionally, on September 24, 2020, we lowered expenses on many Schwab Money Funds share classes, simplifying our management fee structure and reducing the complexity of our operating expense ratios.

State Investment Environment

California
California’s financial position remains strong despite record unemployment and temporary business closures as the state attempts to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
The state’s enacted fiscal 2021 budget (ending June 30, 2021) reflected expectations that tax revenues would sharply decline in tandem with the economy. However, updated projections reflect unanticipated tax revenue strength, and Governor Newsom’s proposed budget for fiscal 2022 builds upon that strength, reversing cuts to education while replenishing reserves to almost pre-pandemic levels.
Based upon a revised budget forecast, California is estimated to generate revenues of $158 billion in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, an amount 22% higher than the original budget approved last June and 13% higher than revenues generated in fiscal 2020. The increase in the revenue forecast is driven by the strength of the stock market and associated capital gains, lower than anticipated unemployment among higher income taxpayers, and steady spending by consumers despite the economic impact of the recession. State personal income and sales and use taxes are the state’s leading revenues and are projected to increase 7% and 6%, respectively, over fiscal 2020 receipts. The revised budget forecast was formed before the federal Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA Act) was approved in December 2020, and thus does not reflect the positive impacts of the Act. The budget does, however, rely on $10 billion of already received federal funds to offset spending for healthcare and other costs.
Governor Newsom has proposed a record $165 billion budget for fiscal 2022. The budget projects revenues to increase a modest 2% in fiscal 2022 and proposes increased spending for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022 based on revised current year revenue estimates. Key spending proposals for fiscal 2022 and the remainder of fiscal 2021 include repaying $9 billion of deferred state aid to schools and community colleges, providing over $2 billion of one-time supplemental funds to schools, and increasing aid for individuals and businesses disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Whereas the enacted fiscal 2021 budget anticipated drawing down reserves by nearly $8 billion, the increase in forecasted revenue is expected to enable the state to increase reserves by $6 billion over fiscal 2020 levels. The state projects it will end fiscal 2022 with reserves of $25 billion, nearly comparable to its pre-pandemic peak.
The favorable revenue picture is in stark contrast to the state’s high level of unemployment. California’s unemployment rate jumped from 3.9% in February 2020 to 16.4% in April following the imposition of statewide shelter-in-place orders and the temporary closure of many businesses. The unemployment rate declined to 8.1% by November 2020 as businesses reopened, but remained well above the national average of 6.7%. Areas that are highly dependent on tourism and entertainment have been the hardest hit, as many businesses that cater to tourists remained closed or severely capacity constrained throughout most of 2020 in an effort to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Local governments in California are expected to be impacted differently based on their sources of revenue. California counties are highly dependent on property taxes, which are not as economically sensitive as many other types of revenues. California cities generally derive their revenues from property taxes and a wide variety of taxes and fees, such as sales and use taxes and hotel taxes that are more economically sensitive. California school districts and community college districts receive their revenue from a combination of property taxes and state aid. School districts and community college districts are expected to benefit in the near term from higher state aid as well as federal stimulus funds targeted for education.
California’s credit quality remains strong. At the end of the reporting period, the state’s general obligation ratings were Aa2 by Moody’s Investors Service, AA- from S&P Global Ratings, and AA from Fitch Ratings. All three rating agencies maintained stable outlooks on their ratings.

State Investment Environment (continued)

New York
New York State continues to contend with the significant economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. Absent substantial federal aid, the State would have to resort to deep expenditure cuts and tax increases to remedy its operating deficits.
While New York’s economy was effectively shut down in spring 2020 following the public health restrictions related to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the State saw a partial rebound in its financial position in the second half of 2020. However, the unemployment rate remains elevated and the State has only recovered about half of the jobs lost in March and April of 2020. New York now projects a $4.8 billion budget shortfall in the current fiscal year that ends on March 31, 2021, which it plans to remedy by reducing funding for local governments and Medicaid and exhausting the remaining federal coronavirus relief fund allocation.
New York faces a $10.2 billion revenue shortfall in fiscal 2022, which represents a very large 13% of total revenues. The timing and amount of additional federal aid, if any, will ultimately determine the level of spending cuts and tax increases that are needed to balance the budget. Though the Governor has asked for $15 billion of additional federal assistance, his baseline plan is more conservative, assuming only $3 billion in federal aid, and he plans to close the remaining $7.2 billion budget gap through cuts to funding for education, Medicaid, and local governments, departmental savings, FEMA reimbursements, use of reserves, and raising taxes for the highest earners. The proposed tax increases would bring the combined state and local personal income tax rate to 14.7% in New York City for taxpayers with income over $5 million, the highest in the country. However, if federal aid were to be approved at the requested $15 billion amount, the State would be able to reverse the tax hike and restore the spending reductions, all of which would help boost the State’s economic recovery. The State is hopeful that the new administration and the new Congress will be more amenable to providing direct support to replace lost tax receipts for states and local governments.
The Governor’s proposed budget will reduce the State’s reserves, diminishing its financial flexibility going forward. The State’s fund balance is projected to decrease 21% to $5.7 billion in fiscal 2022, which is equal to a narrow 7% of disbursements. Moreover, the State’s $13.4 billion reserve funded from extraordinary legal settlements, which have been used for capital projects and operations in the last six years, will also be almost depleted. The balance is projected to total just $2.2 billion in fiscal 2022 and to be eliminated by fiscal 2025, which will further pressure the State’s finances.
Many New Yorkers have adapted to remote work arrangements during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, if that shift becomes permanent, it could have significant economic implications for both the State and City of New York. Telework could intensify outmigration pressure to more affordable locations outside New York. The State would be most affected by the loss of income and sales tax revenues and the City by personal income and sales tax revenues, as well as a decline in property tax and real estate transfer tax revenues.
Other New York State local governments, including cities and counties, continue to grapple with cuts in state aid and lower local revenues (sales tax and personal income tax) due to reduced economic activities. This has required local governments to pare down their own budgets to maintain financial stability. School districts have fared better, as there has been dedicated federal COVD-19 relief money for K-12 education that partially offsets the reduction in state funding. In fact, many New York school districts will receive more funding in fiscal 2022 than in prior years.
The State’s economic outlook remains highly uncertain. Recovery is closely tied to the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, widespread inoculation should help accelerate the State’s economic growth. Assuming vaccines will become widely available in the latter part of 2021, the New York State Department of Budget’s latest update projects a 5.4% growth in employment in the 2021 calendar year and a 6.1% increase in wages in fiscal 2022.
New York State remains a strong investment-grade credit due to its deep and diverse economy and its high personal wealth levels. The State’s general obligation debt is rated Aa2 by Moody’s Investor Service and AA+ by both Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratings. Moody’s Investor Service downgraded the State’s rating by one notch to Aa2 from Aa1 in October 2020 and changed its outlook to stable from negative, citing the COVID-19 pandemic’s adverse impact on the State’s revenues and the erosion of its reserves. S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings have negative outlooks for the State, reflecting the economic uncertainty brought on by the pandemic.

Schwab California Municipal Money Fund

The Schwab California Municipal Money Fund (the fund) seeks the highest current income that is consistent with stability of capital and liquidity, and is exempt from federal and California personal income tax. To pursue its goal, the fund invests in money market securities from California issuers and from municipal (muni) agencies, U.S. territories and possessions. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategy, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
Market Highlights. The 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2020, was a volatile one for muni money market securities. In the first two months of the year, as the short-term U.S. Treasury yield curve became increasingly inverted—reflecting expectations of lower rates throughout 2020—demand for muni money market securities increased. However, beginning in late February, the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the global economy, prompting a flight to quality, triggering dramatic social distancing restrictions, shuttering businesses, and causing U.S. stocks to fall steeply.
In response, by mid-March, the pace of redemptions of muni money market funds was on the rise, and the abrupt drop in demand drove yields sharply higher. Over a one week period in mid-March, the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index—a widely used benchmark for yields on floating-rate muni securities—spiked from 1.28% to 5.20%. By the end of March, governments and central banks around the world had begun passing extensive emergency rescue and fiscal stimulus measures in an effort to support their economies. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) implemented two emergency rate cuts in March, resulting in a target range for the federal funds rate of 0.00% to 0.25%, where it remained through the end of the reporting period. The Fed also responded with a variety of measures designed to boost liquidity in prime and muni money markets, including the creation of the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility, which provided prime and muni money market funds the opportunity to sell portfolio holdings, if needed. This helped to increase fund liquidity to meet redemptions and maintain required liquidity levels. Demand for muni money market funds declined in the second half of the reporting period as many investors shifted to higher-yielding options. Despite the resulting decline in demand from traditional muni money market funds for muni money market securities, supply for tax-exempt money market securities became somewhat constrained as non-traditional buyers, like taxable money market funds and tax-exempt bond funds, found value in short-term muni securities. Supply was further restricted as some issuers normally prevalent in the tax-exempt universe opted instead to issue taxable securities as a way to increase flexibility. As a result, SIFMA yields trended sharply lower over the remainder of the year, ending the reporting period at 0.09%.
Outside the U.S., major central banks reduced their policy rates or maintained already low—and for some international central banks, negative—interest rates. The European Central Bank held its policy rate at 0.00%, unchanged since March 2016, and launched a new asset purchase program to counter the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bank of Japan upheld its short-term interest rate target of -0.1%, also unchanged since 2016, and increased the annual pace of its purchases of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other assets. The Bank of England lowered its key official bank rate from 0.75% to 0.10% in two emergency rate cuts in March.
Performance, Positioning, and Strategies. Throughout the reporting period, the fund’s investment adviser remained focused on liquidity and stability of capital as market conditions evolved, and on continuing a rigorous credit review process and ongoing monitoring for all issuers and regions in which the fund invests. The fund’s weighted average maturity (WAM) increased slightly, beginning the reporting period at 32 days and ending it at 35 days despite experiencing some variation throughout the reporting period as a result of pandemic-driven shocks to the economy and the Fed’s extraordinary response—reaching a low of 21 days in April, May, and June and a high of 46 days in September.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including 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 six months beginning July 1, 2020 and held through December 31, 2020.
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 actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical return lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Schwab California Municipal Money Fund
Portfolio Holdings as of December 31, 2020

This section shows all the securities in the fund’s portfolio and their values as of the report date.
The fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) monthly on Form N-MFP, which is available immediately upon filing. The fund’s Form N-MFP is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The fund also makes available its complete schedule of portfolio holdings 5 business days after month end on the fund’s website at www.schwabfunds.com/schwabfunds_prospectus.
For fixed-rate obligations, the rate shown is the coupon rate (the rate established when the obligation was issued) and if the coupon rate is not available, the effective yield at the time of purchase is shown. For variable-rate obligations, the rate shown is the interest rate as of the report date based on each security’s rate reset date. The reference rate and spread used is shown parenthetically in the security description, if available; if not, the reference rate is described in a footnote. The date shown in the maturity date column below is either the date on which the principal amount must be paid or the date payment must be made pursuant to a demand feature. If the security’s structure includes one of a number of maturity-shortening provisions set forth in Rule 2a-7, such as an interest rate reset, demand feature or put feature, the effective maturity date is also disclosed. If the effective maturity and maturity date are the same, the date will only appear in the maturity date column.

The rate is typically based on the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index.
b Securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registrations, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At the period end, the value of these amounted to $1,567,155,000 or 41.5% of net assets.

a VRDN is a municipal security which allows holders to sell their security through a put or tender feature, at par value plus accrued interest. The interest rate resets on a periodic basis, the majority of which are weekly but may be daily or monthly. Unless a reference rate and spread is shown parenthetically, the Remarketing Agent, generally a dealer, determines the interest rate for the security at each interest rate reset date. The rate is typically based on the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index.
b Securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registrations, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At the period end, the value of these amounted to $430,170,000 or 54.7% of net assets.
c TOB is a synthetically created VRDN where the owner of a long-term bond places the bond in a trust in combination with a liquidity facility. The trust then sells certificates which mirror the VRDN sold directly by a municipal issuer. VRDN is a municipal security which allows holders to sell their security through a put or tender feature, at par value plus accrued interest. The interest rate resets on a periodic basis, the majority of which are weekly but may be daily or monthly. Unless a reference rate and spread is shown parenthetically, the Remarketing Agent, generally a dealer, determines the interest rate for the security at each interest rate reset date. The rate is typically based on the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index.

Financial Notes

1. Business Structure of the Funds:
Each of the funds in this report is a series of The Charles Schwab Family of Funds (the trust), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is 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 as of the end of the period, including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:
THE CHARLES SCHWAB FAMILY OF FUNDS (ORGANIZED OCTOBER 20, 1989)
Schwab Government Money Fund Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund
Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund Schwab Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund
Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund® Schwab California Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund Schwab New York Municipal Money Fund
Schwab California Municipal Money Fund and Schwab New York Municipal Money Fund each offer two share classes: Investor Shares and Ultra Shares. The Ultra Shares share classes commenced operations on September 24, 2020. Shares of each class represent interest in the same portfolio, but each class has different expenses and investment minimums.
Shares are bought and sold at closing net asset value per share (NAV), which is the price for all outstanding shares of a fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the funds’ Board of Trustees (the Board) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.

    
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in their preparation of financial statements. The funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
(a) Security Valuation:
Under procedures approved by the Board, the investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow the funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
Securities in the funds are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) as permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. In the event that security valuations do not approximate fair value, securities may be fair valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.

Schwab Municipal Money Funds  |  Annual Report

 

Schwab Municipal Money Funds
Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•   Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities.
•   Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. Securities held by stable NAV money funds operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act are valued at amortized cost which approximates current fair value and are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.
•   Level 3significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of operations.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings, as of December 31, 2020, all of the funds’ investments were classified as Level 2.
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities: During the period, certain funds transacted in securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the funds’ Portfolio Holdings. The funds may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the funds identify securities as segregated in their records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
(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.
(d) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. If a fund buys a debt security at a discount (less than face value) or a premium (more than face value), it amortizes premiums and accretes discounts from the purchase settlement 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. Certain securities may be callable (meaning that the issuer has the option to pay it off before its maturity date). The fund amortizes the premium and accretes the discount on each callable security to the security’s maturity date, except when the purchase price is higher than the call price at the security’s call date (in which case the premium is amortized to the call date).
(e) Expenses:
Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to more than one fund in the trusts generally are allocated among those funds in proportion to their average daily net assets.
41
Schwab Municipal Money Funds  |  Annual Report

 

Schwab Municipal Money Funds
Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
The funds declare distributions from net investment income, if any, every day they are open for business. These distributions, which are substantially equal to a fund’s net investment income for that day, are paid out to shareholders once a month. The funds make distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
(g) Accounting Estimates:
The accounting policies described in this report conform to GAAP. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates and these differences may be material.
(h) Federal Income Taxes:
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to their shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(i) Indemnification:
Under the funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the funds. However, based on experience, the funds expect the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.

    
3. Credit and Liquidity Enhancements:
A substantial portion of the funds’ investments are in securities with credit enhancements and/or liquidity enhancements from financial institutions or corporations. These enhancements are employed by the issuers of the securities to reduce credit risk and provide liquidity for the purchaser. The following table provides detail on the approximate percentage of total assets for each fund’s investments in securities with these types of enhancements, as well as any entities providing enhancements to 10% or greater of investments in securities in each fund.

4. Risk Factors:
Market Risk. Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets may be impacted by economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, including economic sanctions and other government actions. In addition, the occurrence of global events, such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters, and epidemics may also negatively affect the financial markets. These events could reduce consumer demand or economic output; result in market closures, low or negative interest rates, travel restrictions or quarantines; and significantly adversely impact the economy. Governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have in the past often responded to serious
42
Schwab Municipal Money Funds  |  Annual Report

 

Schwab Municipal Money Funds
Financial Notes (continued)

4. Risk Factors (continued):
economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes which could have an unexpected impact on financial markets and a fund’s investments. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.
Investment Risk. You could lose money by investing in the funds. Although each fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The funds may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the funds’ liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The funds’ sponsors have no legal obligation to provide financial support to the funds, and you should not expect that the sponsors will provide financial support to the funds at any time.
Retail Money Market Fund Risk. Each fund is a “retail money market fund,” as such term is defined or interpreted under the rules governing money market funds. A “retail money market fund” is a money market fund that has policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the fund to natural persons. A fund may involuntarily redeem any investor who is not a natural person. Each fund will provide advance notice of its intent to make any such involuntary redemption. Neither the fund nor the investment adviser will be responsible for any loss or tax liability in an investor’s account resulting from such involuntary redemption. As a “retail money market fund,” each fund is permitted to value its securities using the amortized cost method to seek to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. However, each fund may be subject to liquidity fees and/or redemption gates on fund redemptions if the fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, a fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, a fund’s yield (and total return) also could be low or even negative. In addition, a fund may be unable to pay expenses out of fund assets or maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Also, a change in a central bank’s monetary policy or economic conditions may result in a change in interest rates, which could have sudden and unpredictable effects on the markets. Volatility in the market may decrease liquidity in the money market securities markets, making it more difficult for a fund to sell its money market investments at a time when the investment adviser might wish to sell such investments. Decreased market liquidity also may make it more difficult to value some or all of a fund’s money market securities holdings.
Stable Net Asset Value Risk. If a fund or another money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value (or such perception exists in the market place), the fund could experience increased redemptions, which may adversely impact the fund’s share price. Each fund is permitted, among other things, to reduce or withhold any income and/or gains generated from its portfolio to maintain a stable $1.00 share price.
Credit Risk. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty could cause a fund to lose money or underperform. A fund could lose money if, due to a decline in credit quality, the issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty fails to make, or is perceived as being unable or unwilling to make, timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. The credit quality of a fund’s portfolio holdings can change rapidly in certain market environments and any downgrade or default on the part of a single portfolio investment could cause the fund’s share price or yield to fall.
Credit and Liquidity Enhancements Risk. The funds may invest in securities with credit or liquidity enhancements provided by a bank or other financial institution, and the existence and nature of such enhancements may be a significant factor in the investment adviser’s decision-making process. Generally, these enhancements are employed by the issuers of the securities to reduce credit risk and provide enhanced or back-up liquidity for purchasers, such as the funds. Adverse developments affecting these banks and financial institutions could therefore have a negative effect on the value of a fund’s holdings. For example, a rating agency downgrade of a credit or liquidity enhancement provider may adversely affect the value of securities held by a fund. Any decline in the value of the securities held by a fund could cause the fund’s share price or yield to fall. To the extent that a portion of a fund’s underlying investments are enhanced by the same bank or financial institution, these risks may be increased.
Management Risk. Any actively managed mutual fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser will select investments or allocate assets in a manner that could cause a fund to underperform or otherwise not meet its investment objective. A fund’s investment adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results. The investment adviser’s maturity decisions will also affect a fund’s yield, and potentially could affect its share price. To the extent that the investment adviser anticipates interest rate trends imprecisely, a fund’s yield at times could lag the yields of other money market funds.

Financial Notes (continued)

4. Risk Factors (continued):
State Risk. Schwab New York Municipal Money Fund and Schwab California Municipal Money Fund invest primarily in securities issued by the state of New York and its municipalities and the state of California and its municipalities, respectively. Any reduction in the credit ratings of obligations of these issuers could adversely affect the market values and marketability of such securities, and, consequently, the value of a fund’s portfolio. Further, a fund’s share price and performance could be affected by local, state and regional factors, including erosion of the tax base and changes in the economic climate. Certain New York and California constitutional amendments, legislative measures, executive orders, administrative regulations and voter initiatives could result in adverse consequences affecting the states of New York and California and/or their municipalities. The possibility exists that a natural disaster, including an earthquake, could create a major dislocation of the California economy and significantly affect the ability of state and local governments to raise money to pay principal and interest on their municipal securities. National governmental actions, such as the elimination of tax-exempt status, also could affect performance. In addition, a municipality or municipal project that relies directly or indirectly on national governmental funding mechanisms may be negatively affected by the national government’s current budgetary constraints.
Investment Concentration Risk. To the extent that a fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in municipal securities financing similar projects, the fund may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments affecting those projects. A change that affects one project, such as proposed legislation on the financing of the project, a shortage of materials needed for the project, or a declining need for the project, would likely affect all similar projects and the overall municipal securities market.
Taxable Determinations Risk. Some of a fund’s income could be taxable. If certain types of investments a fund buys as tax-exempt are later ruled to be taxable, a portion of the fund’s income could become taxable. This risk, although generally considered low, is somewhat higher for investments that have been structured as municipal money market securities than for investments in other types of municipal money market securities. Any defensive investments in taxable securities could generate taxable income. Also, some types of municipal securities produce income that is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT).
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase, sell or value, especially during stressed market conditions. The market for certain investments may become illiquid due to specific adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer or under adverse market or economic conditions independent of the issuer. In addition, limited dealer inventories of certain securities could potentially lead to decreased liquidity. In such cases, a fund, due to limitations on investments in illiquid securities and the difficulty in readily purchasing and selling such securities at favorable times or prices, may decline in value, experience lower returns and/or be unable to achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain issuer or sector. Further, transactions in illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.
Redemption Risk. A fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. Redemptions by a few large investors in a fund may have a significant adverse effect on the fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. In the event any money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value, other money market funds, including the funds, could face a market-wide risk of increased redemption pressures, potentially jeopardizing the stability of their $1.00 share prices.
Money Market Fund Risk. The funds are not designed to offer capital appreciation. In exchange for their emphasis on stability and liquidity, money market investments may offer lower long-term performance than stock or bond investments.
Please refer to the funds’ prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the funds.

    
5. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
Investment Adviser
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM or the investment adviser), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement between it and the trust.
For its advisory and administrative services to the funds, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.19% of each fund’s average daily net assets.

5. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
Prior to September 24, 2020, the advisory and administrative service fees of the funds were as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets  
First $1 billion 0.35%
More than $1 billion but not exceeding $10 billion 0.32%
More than $10 billion but not exceeding $20 billion 0.30%
More than $20 billion but not exceeding $40 billion 0.27%
Over $40 billion 0.25%
For the period ended December 31, 2020, the aggregate advisory fee paid to CSIM by the Schwab California Municipal Money Fund and the Schwab New York Municipal Money Fund were 0.30% and 0.31%, respectively, as a percentage of each fund’s average daily net assets.
Shareholder Servicing
The Board has adopted a Shareholder Servicing and Sweep Administration Plan (the Plan) on behalf of the funds. The Plan enables each fund to bear expenses relating to the provision by financial intermediaries, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a broker-dealer affiliate of CSIM (together, service providers), of certain account maintenance, customer liaison and shareholder services to the current shareholders of the funds.
Pursuant to the Plan, each fund’s shares are subject to an annual shareholder servicing fee up to the amount set forth in the table below. The shareholder servicing fee paid to a particular service provider is made pursuant to its written agreement with Schwab, as distributor of the funds (or, in the case of payments made to Schwab acting as a service provider, pursuant to Schwab’s written agreement with the funds), and the funds will pay no more than the amounts listed in the table below, calculated based on the average annual daily net asset value of the fund shares owned by shareholders holding shares through such service providers.
Payments under the Plan are made as described above without regard to whether the fee is more or less than the service provider’s actual cost of providing the services, and if more, such excess may be retained as profit by the service provider.

Interfund Transactions
The funds may engage in transactions with certain other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section) in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board under Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. When one fund is seeking to sell a security that another is seeking to buy, an interfund transaction can allow both funds to benefit by reducing transaction costs. This practice is limited to funds that share the same investment adviser, trustees and/or officers. For the period ended December 31, 2020, each fund’s total aggregate security transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex as well as any realized gains (losses) were as follows:
  Total Aggregate Transactions Realized Gains (Losses)
Schwab California Municipal Money Fund $525,464,623 $—
Schwab New York Municipal Money Fund 389,738,354
Interfund Borrowing and Lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review by the Board. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.

    
6. Board of Trustees:
The Board may include people who are officers and/or directors of CSIM or its affiliates. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The trust did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees, but it did pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as noted on each fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

    
7. Borrowing from Banks:
During the period, the funds were participants with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, syndicated, committed $750 million line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), which matured on October 1, 2020. On October 1, 2020, the Syndicated Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with a line of credit of $850 million, maturing on September 30, 2021. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to the interest charged on any borrowings by a fund, each fund paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the funds’ proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility.
During the period, the funds were participants with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $500 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street Bank and Trust Company, which was scheduled to mature on November 27, 2020. However, on October 1, 2020, the Uncommitted Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with a line of credit of $400 million, maturing on September 30, 2021. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, each fund pays interest on the amount a fund borrows. There were no borrowings from either line of credit during the period.

7. Borrowing from Banks (continued):
The funds also have access to custodian overdraft facilities. A fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on each fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

Prior fiscal year end distributions    
Tax-exempt income $64,106,375 $15,425,771
Ordinary income
Long-term capital gains 252,545
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The adjustments will have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.

8. Federal Income Taxes (continued):
As of December 31, 2020, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and for state purposes, four years from the date of filing) as applicable to the fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

    
9. Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm:
On June 8, 2020, the Audit, Compliance and Valuation Committee of the Board approved, and on June 9, 2020, the Board approved, Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered accounting firm of the Schwab Funds Complex for fiscal periods ending after June 8, 2020.
On June 8, 2020, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Prior Auditor”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Schwab Funds Complex. The Prior Auditor’s reports on the financial statements of the funds for the past two fiscal years, the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the last two fiscal year-ends and through June 8, 2020, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its reports on the funds’ financial statements for such periods; or (2) “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

    
10. Subsequent Events:
Management has determined there are no subsequent events or transactions through the date the financial statements were issued that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.

Schwab Municipal Money Funds
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of The Charles Schwab Family of Funds and Shareholders of Schwab California Municipal Money Fund and Schwab New York Municipal Money Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, of Schwab California Municipal Money Fund and Schwab New York Municipal Money Fund (the “Funds”), two of the funds constituting The Charles Schwab Family of Funds, as of December 31, 2020, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2020, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The statements of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 2019 were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated February 18, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on such statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Deloitte & Touche LLP

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the Schwab Funds Complex since 2020.

Schwab Municipal Money Funds
Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that a fund’s investment advisory agreement, including any amendments thereto, must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the Independent Trustees), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
At a meeting held on September 22, 2020 (the Meeting), the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information relating to a proposed amendment to the investment advisory agreement (the Amendment) between The Charles Schwab Family of Funds (the Trust) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab California Municipal Money Fund and Schwab New York Municipal Money Fund (the Funds), to reflect a reduction in the advisory fee paid by each Fund to CSIM as compensation for CSIM’s
services rendered to such Fund. The Board also considered a corresponding amendment to each Fund’s expense limitation agreement to reduce the expense limitation for such Fund’s Investor Shares. The Board reviewed materials provided by CSIM relating to these changes, including a representation by CSIM that the changes will not result in any reduction in the nature and level of services provided to the Funds by CSIM. The Board also considered the extensive information that the Board reviewed and the conclusions it reached at its May and June 2020 meetings (the Annual Meetings) in connection with its annual consideration and approval of the continuation of each Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described at the Meeting and the Annual Meetings, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Amendment with respect to each Fund effective September 24, 2020 and concluded that the compensation payable by each Fund to CSIM under the Agreement is fair and reasonable in light of the services CSIM renders to (and the expenses it bears relating to) such Fund and such other matters as the Trustees considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

Schwab Municipal Money Funds
Glossary

144A securities  These securities may be sold only to qualified institutional buyers under Securities Act Rule 144A.
Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)  A federal income tax designed to limit the extent to which high-income taxpayers (including individuals, estates, trusts and corporations) can benefit from certain deductions and exemptions. For example, some types of income that are exempt from regular federal income tax are not exempt from the AMT.
bond  A security representing a loan from the investor to the issuer. A bond typically pays interest at a fixed rate (the coupon rate) until a specified date (the maturity date), at which time the issuer returns the money borrowed (principal or face value) to the bondholder. Because of their structure, bonds are sometimes called “fixed income securities” or “debt securities.”
An individual bond is subject to the credit risk of the issuer. Changes in interest rates can affect a bond’s market value prior to call or maturity. There is no guarantee that a bond’s yield to call or maturity will provide a positive return over the rate of inflation.
bond anticipation notes Obligations sold by a state or local government on a short-term basis in anticipation of the issuance of a longer-term bond in the future.
capital gain, capital loss  The difference between the amount paid for an investment and its value at a later time. If the investment has been sold, the capital gain or loss is considered a realized gain or loss. If the investment is still held, the gain or loss is still “on paper” and is considered unrealized.
commercial paper  Promissory notes issued by banks, corporations and other entities to finance short-term credit needs. These securities generally are structured on a discounted basis but sometimes may be interest-bearing notes. Commercial paper, which may be unsecured, is subject to credit risk.
credit-enhanced securities  Securities that are backed by the credit of an entity other than the issuer (such as a financial institution). Credit enhancements, which can equal up to 100% of the security’s value, are designed to help lower the risk of default on a security and may also make the security more liquid.
credit quality  The capacity of an issuer to make its interest and principal payments. Federal regulations strictly regulate the credit quality of the securities a money market fund can buy.
credit ratings  Debt issuers, including corporations, states and municipalities, may arrange with a recognized independent rating organization, such as Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, Inc., Moody’s Investor Service, and DBRS, to rate their creditworthiness and/or the creditworthiness of their debt issues. For example, an issuer may obtain a long-term rating within the investment grade rating category, which is, from high to low, AAA, AA, A and BBB for Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, and DBRS; and Aaa, Aa, A and Baa for Moody’s.
credit risk  The risk that a debt issuer may be unable to pay interest or repay principal to its debt holders.
dollar-weighted average maturity  See weighted average maturity.
effective yield  A measurement of a fund’s yield that assumes that all interest income is reinvested in additional shares of the fund.
escrow  The issuer of an escrowed bond deposits funds in a trust which are verified by a third party to be sufficient to pay the bond’s principal and interest at maturity or at a call date. The funds in the trust are invested in high quality investments, typically US Treasury and Agency obligations which mature at or prior to the bond’s maturity or call date.
expense ratio  The amount that is taken from a mutual fund’s assets each year to cover the fund’s operating expenses. An expense ratio of 0.50% means that a fund’s expenses amount to half of one percent of its average net assets a year.
face value  The value of a bond, note, mortgage or other security as given on the certificate or instrument. Face value is also referred to as par value or nominal value.
fixed rate notes  A security with a fixed rate or coupon and a short maturity (typically within thirteen months). For example, bond, revenue or tax anticipation notes.
Guaranty (GTY)  An instrument issued by a financial institution to unconditionally guarantee the repayment of a security’s principal and interest at maturity. The security will typically carry the rating of the institution which provides the guaranty rather than that of the security’s issuer.
illiquid securities  Securities are generally considered illiquid if they cannot be disposed of promptly (typically within seven days) and in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which a fund has valued the instruments.
interest  Payments to holders of debt securities as compensation for loaning a security’s principal to the issuer.
Letter of Credit (LOC)  An instrument issued by a financial institution which unconditionally guarantees the repayment of principal and interest at maturity and upon demand. Many securities known as variable-rate demand obligations (VRDOs) carry LOCs to provide a source of payment to allow the holder of the security to demand repayment after a pre-defined number of days, typically daily or weekly.
Liquidity (LIQ)  A liquidity facility is issued by a financial institution to improve the ability of the issuer of the security to meet demands for payment. Many securities known as variable-rate demand obligations (VRDOs) carry liquidity facilities to provide a source of payment to allow the holder of the security to demand repayment after a pre-defined number of days, typically daily or weekly. The issuer of the security must maintain strong long-term ratings and credit characteristics while the liquidity facility is in effect. If the issuer fails to meet certain predetermined financial conditions, the financial institution may terminate its obligation without notice.
liquidity-enhanced security  The security’s structure includes a liquidity arrangement that requires an entity other than the issuer (such as a large financial institution) to provide funds to pay a tender under most circumstances. Liquidity enhancements are often used on variable-rate securities where the portfolio manager has an option to tender the securities for repayment within a specified time period (usually one day or one week) at any time prior to their final maturity.
maturity  The date a debt security is scheduled to be “retired” and its principal amount repaid. The Maturity of an investment will generally reflect the security’s final maturity date unless the security’s structure includes a maturity-shortening provision such as an interest rate reset,

demand feature or put feature (the “Effective Maturity Date”). For those securities with a maturity-shortening provision, including variable-rate demand securities, the Maturity is determined by using the Effective Maturity Date, as permitted by Rule 2a-7.
money market securities  High-quality, short-term debt securities that may be issued by states and local governments and their agencies. Money market securities must have an effective maturity of no longer than 397 days. Examples include bond and tax anticipation notes, commercial paper, variable-rate demand obligations and tender option bonds.
municipal securities  Debt securities issued by a state, its counties, municipalities, authorities and other subdivisions, or the territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia, including their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and corporations. These securities may be issued to obtain money for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, public utilities, schools, streets, and water and sewer works.
net asset value per share (NAV)  The value of one share of a mutual fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets, subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. Certain money funds seek to maintain a steady NAV of $1.00.
outstanding shares, shares outstanding  When speaking of a company or mutual fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.
restricted securities  Securities that are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. These securities are often purchased in private placement transactions.
revenue anticipation notes  Obligations that are issued in expectation of the receipt of revenue, such as income taxes, property taxes, etc.
taxable equivalent yield  The yield an investor would need to get from a taxable investment in order to match the yield paid by a given tax-exempt investment, once the effect of all applicable taxes is taken into account. For example, if your tax rate were 25%, a tax-exempt investment paying 4.5% would have a taxable equivalent yield for you of 6.0% (4.5% ÷ [1 – 0.25%] = 6.0%).
tax anticipation notes  Notes that typically are sold to finance the cash flow needs of municipalities in anticipation of the receipt of taxes on a future date.
tender option bond  A security which is created by a financial institution by combining a long-term municipal bond with a liquidity facility which converts the long-term bond into a money-market eligible security. Tender option bonds are issued as section 144A securities.
total return  The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.
variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs)  Securities that have long maturities but which, because of their structure, require them to repay principal plus accrued interest within a specified timeframe (usually one or seven days) upon the demand of the bond holder. Depending on their structure, the repayment may be made by the bond issuer or by a financial institution, such as a highly rated bank.
variable rate demand preferred shares (VRDP)  Variable rate demand securities that are issued by single state or national closed-end municipal bond funds, which, in turn, invest primarily in portfolios of tax-exempt municipal bonds. It is anticipated that the interest on VRDPs will be exempt from federal income tax. These securities are considered “municipal money market securities” for purposes of the fund’s investment policy as stated in the prospectus.
weighted average maturity (WAM)  For money market mutual funds as per rule 2a-7, the maturity date or Effective Maturity Date (see definition of maturity) of all the debt securities in its portfolio, or the date the interest rate on those securities is reset, or the date those securities can be redeemed through demand, calculated as a weighted average. As a rule, the longer a fund’s weighted average maturity, the greater its interest rate risk. Money funds are required to maintain a weighted average maturity of no more than 60 days.
yield  The income paid out by an investment, expressed as a percentage of the investment’s market value.

From the President

Jonathan de St. Paer
President of Charles Schwab
Investment Management, Inc.
and the fund covered
in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
The COVID-19 pandemic broadly reshaped life during 2020—in ways that are likely to reverberate well into the new year and remind us to expect the unexpected. Equity and bond markets experienced rarely seen levels of turmoil and volatility, while money market funds saw yields drop to historic lows in the face of declining interest rates. In March 2020, as the scale of the pandemic became apparent and broad swaths of the U.S. economy began to shut down, U.S. Treasuries of all maturities fell to under 1% for the first time, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield falling to an all-time low in mid-March. By the end of March, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) lowered its policy rate to near zero. As interest rates fell and demand for safe investment harbors grew, yields on U.S. Treasury securities remained historically low. At the same time, demand for municipal money market securities declined, creating spikes in yields and reductions in liquidity. The Fed moved quickly to support money market funds in March, making several programs available that provided liquidity to the market and maintaining credit spreads at more normalized levels.
Although underlying market factors continued to improve throughout the remainder of 2020, money market yields remained near historical lows. Nevertheless, investors continued to rely on money market funds as vehicles for capital preservation and daily liquidity. At Charles Schwab Investment Management, our focus on liquidity and stability enabled us to meet our clients’ ongoing needs. We also continue to monitor yields of the Schwab Money Funds and waive fees as necessary to maintain a yield of zero or greater. Additionally, on September 24, 2020, we lowered expenses on many Schwab Money Funds share classes, simplifying our management fee structure and reducing the complexity of our operating expense ratios. As we embark on a new year, we continue to take great pride in the trust that our investors place in us and are committed to serving our clients through this extraordinarily challenging time.
Thank you for investing with Charles Schwab Investment Management, and for trusting us to help you achieve your financial goals. For more information about the Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund, please continue reading this report. In addition, you can find further details about this fund by visiting our website at www.schwabfunds.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-877-824-5615.
Sincerely,
Additionally, on September 24, 2020, we lowered expenses on many Schwab Money Funds share classes, simplifying our management fee structure and reducing the complexity of our operating expense ratios.

Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund

The Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund (the fund) seeks the highest current income consistent with stability of capital and liquidity. To pursue its goal, the fund invests in high-quality, short-term money market investments issued by U.S. and foreign issuers. Examples of these securities include commercial paper, promissory notes, certificates of deposit and time deposits, variable- and floating-rate debt securities, repurchase agreements, bank notes and bankers’ acceptances, and obligations that are issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategy, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
Market Highlights. Over the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2020, demand for government money market funds rose, while demand for prime and municipal market funds fell. Beginning in late February, the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the global economy, prompting a flight to quality, triggering dramatic social distancing restrictions, shuttering businesses, and causing U.S. stocks to fall steeply. By the end of March, governments and central banks around the world had begun passing extensive emergency rescue and fiscal stimulus measures in an effort to support their economies. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) implemented two emergency rate cuts in March, resulting in a target range for the federal funds rate of 0.00% to 0.25%, where it remained through the end of the reporting period.
Low interest rates, combined with record inflows into government money market funds from investors seeking safety, pushed yields on government and U.S. Treasury securities down to historic lows, while redemptions in prime money market funds increased. The Fed responded with a variety of measures designed to boost liquidity in prime and municipal money markets, including the creation of the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility, which provided prime and municipal money market funds the opportunity to sell portfolio holdings, if needed. This helped to increase fund liquidity to meet redemptions and maintain required liquidity levels. By April, as yields remained low, demand for government money market funds began to recede as investors began shifting back into prime money market funds in search of incremental sources of income.
Outside the U.S., major central banks reduced their policy rates or maintained their already low—and for some international central banks, negative—interest rates. The European Central Bank held its policy rate at 0.00%, unchanged since March 2016, and launched a new asset purchase program to counter the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bank of Japan upheld its short-term interest rate target of -0.1%, also unchanged since 2016, and increased the annual pace of its purchases of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other assets. The Bank of England lowered its key official bank rate from 0.75% to 0.10% in two emergency rate cuts in March.
Performance, Positioning, and Strategies. Throughout the reporting period, the fund’s investment adviser remained focused on ensuring liquidity and stability of capital as market conditions evolved, and on continuing a rigorous credit review process and ongoing monitoring for all issuers and regions in which the fund invests. The fund’s weighted average maturity (WAM) increased slightly, beginning the reporting period at 35 days and ending it at 36 days despite experiencing some variation throughout the reporting period as a result of pandemic-driven shocks to the economy and the Fed’s extraordinary response—reaching a low of 23 days in April and a high of 50 days in October.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including 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 the fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning July 1, 2020 and held through December 31, 2020.
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in 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. Therefore, the hypothetical return lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund
Portfolio Holdings as of December 31, 2020

This section shows all the securities in the fund’s portfolio and their values as of the report date.
The fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) monthly on Form N-MFP, which is available immediately upon filing. The fund’s Form N-MFP is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The fund also makes available its complete schedule of portfolio holdings 5 business days after month end on the fund’s website at www.schwabfunds.com/schwabfunds_prospectus.
For fixed-rate obligations and repurchase agreements, the rate shown is the coupon rate (the rate established when the obligation was issued) and if the coupon rate is not available, the effective yield at the time of purchase is shown. For variable-rate obligations, the rate shown is the interest rate as of the report date based on each security’s rate reset date. The reference rate and spread used is shown parenthetically in the security description, if available; if not, the reference rate is described in a footnote. The date shown in the maturity date column below is either the date on which the principal amount must be paid or the date payment must be made pursuant to a demand feature. If the security’s structure includes one of a number of maturity-shortening provisions set forth in Rule 2a-7, such as an interest rate reset, demand feature or put feature, the effective maturity date is also disclosed. If the effective maturity and maturity date are the same, the date will only appear in the maturity date column.

Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund
Financial Notes

1. Business Structure of the Fund:
Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund is a series of The Charles Schwab Family of Funds (the trust), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is 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 as of the end of the period, including the fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:
THE CHARLES SCHWAB FAMILY OF FUNDS (ORGANIZED OCTOBER 20, 1989)
Schwab Government Money Fund Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund
Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund Schwab Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund
Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund Schwab California Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund Schwab New York Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund offers two share classes: Investor Shares and Ultra Shares. Shares of each class represent interest in the same portfolio, but each class has different expenses and investment minimums.
Shares are bought and sold at closing net asset value per share (NAV), which is the price for all outstanding shares of a fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.
The fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, the 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 fund uses in its preparation of financial statements. The fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
(a) Security Valuation:
Under procedures approved by the fund’s Board, the investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow the fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
Securities in the fund are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) as permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. In the event that security valuations do not approximate fair value, securities may be fair valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the fund pursuant to the valuation procedures.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the fund determines that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.

Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund
Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•   Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities.
•   Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. Securities held by stable NAV money funds operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act are valued at amortized cost which approximates current fair value and are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.
•   Level 3significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the fund uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the fund in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the fund in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the fund due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the fund’s results of operations.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings, as of December 31, 2020, all of the fund’s investments were classified as Level 2.
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
Repurchase Agreements: In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a security from another party (the counterparty), usually a financial institution, with the agreement that it be sold back in the future. Repurchase agreements subject a fund to counterparty risk, meaning that the fund could lose money if the other party fails to perform under the terms of the agreement. The fund mitigates this risk by ensuring that a fund’s repurchase agreements are collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government securities, fixed income securities, equity securities or other types of securities. These risks are magnified to the extent that a repurchase agreement is secured by collateral other than cash and U.S. government securities, such as debt securities, equity securities and high yield securities that are rated below investment grade. All collateral is held by the fund’s custodian (or, with multi-party agreements, the agent’s bank) and is monitored daily to ensure that its fair value is at least equal to the maturity amount under the agreement. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed or limited and the value of the collateral may decline. Investments in repurchase agreements are also based on a review of the credit quality of the repurchase agreement counterparty.
As of December 31, 2020, the fund had investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $26,056,438,264 as disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at period end.
Delayed-Delivery Transactions: The fund may buy securities at a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. The fund will assume the rights and risks of ownership at the time of purchase, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. Typically, no interest will accrue to the fund until the security is delivered. The fund will earmark or segregate appropriate liquid assets to cover its delayed-delivery purchase obligations, if any.
(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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(d) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. If the fund buys a debt security at a discount (less than face value) or a premium (more than face value), it amortizes premiums and accretes discounts from the purchase settlement 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. Certain securities may be callable (meaning that the issuer has the option to pay it off before its maturity date). The fund amortizes the premium and accretes the discount on each callable security to the security’s maturity date, except when the purchase price is higher than the call price at the security’s call date (in which case the premium is amortized to the call date).
(e) Expenses:
Expenses that are specific to the fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to more than one fund in the trusts generally are allocated among those funds in proportion to their average daily net assets.
The fund offers 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 their average daily net assets.
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
The fund declares distributions from net investment income, if any, every day it is open for business. These distributions, which are substantially equal to the fund’s net investment income for that day, are paid out to shareholders once a month. The fund makes distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
(g) Accounting Estimates:
The accounting policies described in this report conform to GAAP. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates and these differences may be material.
(h) Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, the fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders each year. As long as the fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(i) Indemnification:
Under the fund’s organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business the fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund. However, based on experience, the fund expects the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
(j) Recent Accounting Standards:
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848)” (ASU 2020-04), which provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered based reference rates at the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. At this time, management believes the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will not have a material impact to the financial statements.

    
3. Risk Factors:
Market Risk. Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets may be impacted by economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, including economic sanctions and other government actions. In addition, the occurrence of global events, such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters, and epidemics may also negatively affect the financial markets. These events could reduce consumer demand or economic output; result in market closures, low or negative interest rates, travel restrictions or quarantines; and significantly adversely impact the economy.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
Governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have in the past often responded to serious economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes which could have an unexpected impact on financial markets and the fund’s investments. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.
Investment Risk. You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.
Retail Money Market Fund Risk. The fund is a “retail money market fund,” as such term is defined or interpreted under the rules governing money market funds. A “retail money market fund” is a money market fund that has policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the fund to natural persons. The fund may involuntarily redeem any investor who is not a natural person. The fund will provide advance notice of its intent to make any such involuntary redemption. Neither the fund nor the investment adviser will be responsible for any loss or tax liability in an investor’s account resulting from such involuntary redemption. As a “retail money market fund,” the fund is permitted to value its securities using the amortized cost method to seek to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. However, the fund may be subject to liquidity fees and/or redemption gates on fund redemptions if the fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, the fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, the fund’s yield (and total return) also could be low or even negative. In addition, the fund may be unable to pay expenses out of fund assets or maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Also a change in a central bank’s monetary policy or economic conditions may result in a change in interest rates which could have sudden and unpredictable effects on the markets. Volatility in the market may decrease liquidity in the money market securities markets, making it more difficult for the fund to sell its money market investments at a time when the investment adviser might wish to sell such investments. Decreased market liquidity also may make it more difficult to value some or all of the fund’s money market securities holdings.
Stable Net Asset Value Risk. If the fund or another money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value (or such perception exists in the market place), the fund could experience increased redemptions, which may adversely impact the fund’s share price. The fund is permitted, among other things, to reduce or withhold any income and/or gains generated from its portfolio to maintain a stable $1.00 share price.
Repurchase Agreements Risk. When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, the fund is exposed to the risk that the other party (i.e., the counterparty) will not fulfill its contractual obligation. In a repurchase agreement, there exists the risk that, when the fund buys a security from a counterparty that agrees to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price (usually higher) and time, the counterparty will not repurchase the security. These risks are magnified to the extent that a repurchase agreement is secured by collateral other than cash and government securities, such as debt securities, equity securities and high-yield securities that are rated below investment grade (Alternative Collateral). High-yield securities that are used as Alternative Collateral are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk, and are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. Alternative Collateral may be subject to greater price volatility and may be more volatile or less liquid than other types of collateral, increasing the risk that the fund will be unable to recover fully in the event of a counterparty’s default.
Credit Risk. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty could cause the fund to lose money or underperform. The fund could lose money if, due to a decline in credit quality, the issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty fails to make, or is perceived as being unable or unwilling to make, timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Even though the fund’s investments in repurchase agreements are collateralized at all times, there is some risk to the fund if the other party should default on its obligations and the fund is delayed or prevented from recovering or disposing of the collateral. The credit quality of the fund’s portfolio holdings can change rapidly in certain market environments and any downgrade or default on the part of a single portfolio investment could cause the fund’s share price or yield to fall.
Certain U.S. government securities that the fund invests in are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, which means they are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Although maintained in conservatorship by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) since September 2008, the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan
31
Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund  |  Annual Report

 

Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund
Financial Notes (continued)

3. Risk Factors (continued):
Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) maintain only lines of credit with the U.S. Treasury. Additionally, the FHFA recently announced plans to begin removing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from conservatorship. The Federal Home Loan Banks maintain limited access to credit lines from the U.S. Treasury. Other securities, such as obligations issued by the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation, are supported solely by the credit of the issuer. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government will provide financial support to securities of its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so under law. Also, any government guarantees on securities the fund owns do not extend to the shares of the fund itself.
Credit and Liquidity Enhancements Risk. The fund may invest in securities with credit or liquidity enhancements provided by a bank or other financial institution, and the existence and nature of such enhancements may be a significant factor in the investment adviser’s decision-making process. Generally, these enhancements are employed by the issuers of the securities to reduce credit risk and provide enhanced or back-up liquidity for a purchaser, such as the fund. Adverse developments affecting these banks and financial institutions could therefore have a negative effect on the value of the fund’s holdings. For example, a rating agency downgrade of a credit or liquidity enhancement provider may adversely affect the value of securities held by the fund. Any decline in the value of the securities held by the fund could cause the fund’s share price or yield to fall. To the extent that a portion of the fund’s underlying investments are enhanced by the same bank or financial institution, these risks may be increased.
Management Risk. Any actively managed mutual fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser will select investments or allocate assets in a manner that could cause the fund to underperform or otherwise not meet its investment objective. The fund’s investment adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results. The investment adviser’s maturity decisions will also affect the fund’s yield, and potentially could affect its share price. To the extent that the investment adviser anticipates interest rate trends imprecisely, the fund’s yield at times could lag the yields of other money market funds.
Foreign Investment Risk. Although the fund may invest only in U.S. dollar-denominated securities, the fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers or securities with credit or liquidity enhancements provided by foreign entities may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers or securities with credit or liquidity enhancements provided by U.S. entities. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may negatively impact the value or liquidity of the fund’s investments, and could impair the fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. In addition, sovereign risk, or the risk that a government may become unwilling or unable to meet its loan obligations or guarantees, could increase the credit risk of financial institutions connected to that particular country.
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase, sell or value, especially during stressed market conditions. The market for certain investments may become illiquid due to specific adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer or under adverse market or economic conditions independent of the issuer. In addition, limited dealer inventories of certain securities could potentially lead to decreased liquidity. In such cases, the fund, due to limitations on investments in illiquid securities and the difficulty in readily purchasing and selling such securities at favorable times or prices, may decline in value, experience lower returns and/or be unable to achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain issuer or sector. Further, transactions in illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.
Redemption Risk. The fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. Redemptions by a few large investors in the fund may have a significant adverse effect on the fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. In the event any money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value, other money market funds, including the fund, could face a market-wide risk of increased redemption pressures, potentially jeopardizing the stability of their $1.00 share prices.
Money Market Fund Risk. The fund is not designed to offer capital appreciation. In exchange for their emphasis on stability and liquidity, money market investments may offer lower long-term performance than stock or bond investments.
Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the fund.

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
Investment Adviser
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM or the investment adviser), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as the fund’s investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement between CSIM and the trust.
For its advisory and administrative services to the fund, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.19% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Prior to September 24, 2020, the advisory and administrative service fee of the fund was as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets  
First $1 billion 0.35%
More than $1 billion but not exceeding $10 billion 0.32%
More than $10 billion but not exceeding $20 billion 0.30%
More than $20 billion but not exceeding $40 billion 0.27%
Over $40 billion 0.25%
For the period ended December 31, 2020, the aggregate advisory fee paid to CSIM by the fund was 0.25%, as a percentage of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Shareholder Servicing
The Board has adopted a Shareholder Servicing and Sweep Administration Plan (the Plan) on behalf of the fund. The Plan enables the fund to bear expenses relating to the provision by financial intermediaries, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a broker-dealer affiliate of CSIM (together, service providers), of certain account maintenance, customer liaison and shareholder services to the current shareholders of the fund.
Pursuant to the Plan, the fund’s shares are subject to an annual shareholder servicing fee up to the amount set forth in the table below. The shareholder servicing fee paid to a particular service provider is made pursuant to its written agreement with Schwab, as distributor of the fund (or, in the case of payments made to Schwab acting as a service provider, pursuant to Schwab’s written agreement with the fund), and the fund will pay no more than the amounts listed in the table below, calculated based on the average annual daily net asset value of the fund shares owned by shareholders holding shares through such service providers.
Payments under the Plan are made as described above without regard to whether the fee is more or less than the service provider’s actual cost of providing the services, and if more, such excess may be retained as profit by the service provider.
  Shareholder Servicing Fee
Investor Shares 0.15%
Ultra Shares n/a
Contractual Expense Limitations
CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the fund, for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the fund, which may only be amended or terminated with the approval of the Board, to limit the total annual fund operating expenses charged, excluding interest, taxes, and certain non-routine expenses (expense limitation), as follows:
Investor Shares 0.34%
Ultra Shares 0.19%
Prior to September 24, 2020, the expense limitation was as follows:
Investor Shares 0.34%
During the period ended December 31, 2020, the fund waived a total of $115,712,488 in expenses: $71,750,971 was waived in accordance with the contractual expense limitation noted above and $43,961,517 was waived voluntarily. See Voluntary Yield Waiver/Reimbursement note below.
Voluntary Yield Waiver/Reimbursement
CSIM and its affiliates may waive and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a positive net yield for the fund.

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
Interfund Transactions
The fund may engage in transactions with certain other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section) in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board under Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. When one fund is seeking to sell a security that another is seeking to buy, an interfund transaction can allow both funds to benefit by reducing transaction costs. This practice is limited to funds that share the same investment adviser, trustees and/or officers. For the period ended December 31, 2020, the fund’s total aggregate security transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex was $32,977,343 and includes realized gains (losses) of $0.
Interfund Borrowing and Lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review by the Board. The fund had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.

    
5. Board of Trustees:
The Board may include people who are officers and/or directors of CSIM or its affiliates. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The trust did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees, but it did pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as noted on each fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

    
6. Borrowing from Banks:
During the period, the fund was a participant with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, syndicated, committed $750 million line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), which matured on October 1, 2020. On October 1, 2020, the Syndicated Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with a line of credit of $850 million, maturing on September 30, 2021. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to the interest charged on any borrowings by a fund, the fund paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the fund’s proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility.
During the period, the fund was a participant with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $500 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street Bank and Trust Company, which was scheduled to mature on November 27, 2020. However, on October 1, 2020, the Uncommitted Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with a line of credit of $400 million, maturing on September 30, 2021. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, the fund pays interest on the amount it borrows. There were no borrowings from either line of credit during the period.
The fund also has access to custodian overdraft facilities. The fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on the fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

    
7. Federal Income Taxes:
As of December 31, 2020, the tax basis cost of the fund’s investments was $94,107,884,139.
As of December 31, 2020, the fund had no undistributed earnings on a tax basis.
Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2020, the fund had no capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net capital gains.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the fund had capital loss carryforwards utilized as follows:

7. Federal Income Taxes (continued):
The tax basis components of distributions paid during the current and prior fiscal years were as follows:
  Schwab
Value Advantage
Money Fund
Current fiscal year end distributions  
Ordinary income $560,901,122
Prior fiscal year end distributions  
Ordinary income $2,106,034,418
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. The fund may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The adjustments will have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
As of December 31, 2020, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and for state purposes, four years from the date of filing) as applicable to the fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

    
8. Reorganization:
Under a plan of reorganization adopted by the trust, all of the assets and liabilities of the Schwab Retirement Advantage Money Fund and Schwab Investor Money Fund were transferred to the Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund. The reorganization, which qualified as a tax-free exchange for federal income tax purposes, was completed at the open of business on February 24, 2020. The reorganization is intended to achieve economies of scale on the three funds, which have substantially the same investment objectives. The following is a summary of shares outstanding, net assets, and net asset value per share issued immediately before and after the reorganization.

9. Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm:
On June 8, 2020, the Audit, Compliance and Valuation Committee of the Board approved, and on June 9, 2020, the Board approved, Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered accounting firm of the Schwab Funds Complex for fiscal periods ending after June 8, 2020.
On June 8, 2020, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Prior Auditor”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Schwab Funds Complex. The Prior Auditor’s reports on the financial statements of the fund for the past two fiscal years, the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the last two fiscal year-ends and through June 8, 2020, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its reports on the fund’s financial statements for such periods; or (2) “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of The Charles Schwab Family of Funds and Shareholders of Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, of Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting The Charles Schwab Family of Funds, as of December 31, 2020, the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 2019 were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated February 18, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on such statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund
Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that a fund’s investment advisory agreement, including any amendments thereto, must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the Independent Trustees), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
At a meeting held on September 22, 2020 (the Meeting), the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information relating to a proposed amendment to the investment advisory agreement (the Amendment) between The Charles Schwab Family of Funds (the Trust) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund (the Fund), to reflect a reduction in the advisory fee paid by the Fund to CSIM as compensation for CSIM’s services rendered to the Fund. The Board also
considered a corresponding amendment to the Fund’s expense limitation agreement to reduce the expense limitation for the Fund’s Investor Shares. The Board reviewed materials provided by CSIM relating to these changes, including a representation by CSIM that the changes will not result in any reduction in the nature and level of services provided to the Fund by CSIM. The Board also considered the extensive information that the Board reviewed and the conclusions it reached at its May and June 2020 meetings (the Annual Meetings) in connection with its annual consideration and approval of the continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described at the Meeting and the Annual Meetings, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Amendment with respect to the Fund effective September 24, 2020 and concluded that the compensation payable by the Fund to CSIM under the Agreement is fair and reasonable in light of the services CSIM renders to (and the expenses it bears relating to) the Fund and such other matters as the Trustees considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

Glossary

144A securities  These securities may be sold only to qualified institutional buyers under Securities Act Rule 144A.
agency discount notes  Notes issued by federal agencies—known as Government Sponsored Enterprises, or GSEs—at a discount to their value at maturity. An agency discount note is a short-term investment offering a high degree of credit quality.
asset-backed commercial paper  A short-term investment that is typically issued by a bank or other financial institution. The notes represent an interest in financial assets such as trade receivables, credit card receivables, auto receivables, etc. and are generally used for the short-term financing needs of companies. Asset-backed commercial paper is subject to credit risk.
capital gain, capital loss  The difference between the amount paid for an investment and its value at a later time. If the investment has been sold, the capital gain or loss is considered a realized gain or loss. If the investment is still held, the gain or loss is still “on paper” and is considered unrealized.
collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO)  A type of security that is collateralized by pools of mortgages backed by government agencies or private issuers (non-agency). The streams of principal and interest payments on the mortgages are distributed to the different classes of CMO interests, known as tranches. Each tranche may have different principal balances, coupon rates, prepayment risks, and maturity dates.
commercial paper  Promissory notes issued by banks, corporations and other entities to finance short-term credit needs. These securities generally are structured on a discounted basis but sometimes may be interest-bearing notes. Commercial paper, which may be unsecured, is subject to credit risk.
corporate note  An unsecured debt security issued by a corporation that is subject to the credit risk of the issuer.
credit-enhanced securities  Securities that are backed by the credit of an entity other than the issuer (such as a financial institution). Credit enhancements, which can equal up to 100% of the security’s value, are designed to help lower the risk of default on a security and may also make the security more liquid.
credit quality  The capacity of an issuer to make its interest and principal payments. Federal regulations strictly regulate the credit quality of the securities a money market fund can buy.
credit ratings  Debt issuers, including corporations, states and municipalities, may arrange with a recognized independent rating organization, such as Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, Inc., Moody’s Investor Service, and DBRS, to rate their creditworthiness and/or the creditworthiness of their debt issues. For example, an issuer may obtain a long-term rating within the investment grade rating category, which is, from high to low, AAA, AA, A and BBB for Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, and DBRS; and Aaa, Aa, A and Baa for Moody’s.
credit risk  The risk that a debt issuer may be unable to pay interest or repay principal to its debt holders.
dollar-weighted average maturity  See weighted average maturity.
effective yield  A measurement of a fund’s yield that assumes that all interest income is reinvested in additional shares of the fund.
exchange-traded fund (ETF)  An investment fund that tracks an index, a commodity or a basket of assets, and trades on an exchange.
expense ratio  The amount that is taken from a mutual fund’s assets each year to cover the fund’s operating expenses. An expense ratio of 0.50% means that a fund’s expenses amount to half of one percent of its average net assets a year.
face value  The value of a bond, note, mortgage or other security as given on the certificate or instrument. Face value is also referred to as par value or nominal value.
illiquid securities  Securities are generally considered illiquid if they cannot be disposed of promptly (typically within seven days) and in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which a fund has valued the instruments.
interest  Payments to holders of debt securities as compensation for loaning a security’s principal to the issuer.
liquidity-enhanced security  The security’s structure includes a liquidity arrangement that requires an entity other than the issuer (such as a large financial institution) to provide funds to pay a tender under most circumstances. Liquidity enhancements are often used on variable-rate securities where the portfolio manager has an option to tender the securities for repayment within a specified time period (usually one day or one week) at any time prior to their final maturity.
maturity  The date a debt security is scheduled to be “retired” and its principal amount repaid. The Maturity of an investment will generally reflect the security’s final maturity date unless the security’s structure includes a maturity-shortening provision such as an interest rate reset, demand feature or put feature (the “Effective Maturity Date”). For those securities with a maturity-shortening provision, including variable-rate demand securities, the Maturity is determined by using the Effective Maturity Date, as permitted by Rule 2a-7.
municipal securities  Debt securities issued by a state, its counties, municipalities, authorities and other subdivisions, or the territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia, including their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and corporations. These securities may be issued to obtain money for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, public utilities, schools, streets, and water and sewer works.
net asset value per share (NAV)  The value of one share of a mutual fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets, subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. Certain money funds seek to maintain a steady NAV of $1.00.
outstanding shares, shares outstanding  When speaking of a company or mutual fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.
repurchase agreement  (also known as a “repo”) The sale of a security combined with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase it at a predetermined date and price.
restricted securities  Securities that are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. These securities are often purchased in private placement transactions.
total return  The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.

Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund
variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs)  Securities that have long maturities but which, because of their structure, require them to repay principal plus accrued interest within a specified timeframe (usually one or seven days) upon the demand of the bond holder. Depending on their structure, the repayment may be made by the bond issuer or by a financial institution, such as a highly rated bank.
weighted average maturity (WAM)  For money market mutual funds as per rule 2a-7, the maturity date or Effective Maturity Date (see definition of maturity) of all the debt securities in its portfolio, or the date the interest rate on those securities is reset, or the date those
securities can be redeemed through demand, calculated as a weighted average. As a rule, the longer a fund’s weighted average maturity, the greater its interest rate risk. Money funds are required to maintain a weighted average maturity of no more than 60 days.
yield  The income paid out by an investment, expressed as a percentage of the investment’s market value.

Schwab Government Money Funds
From the President

Jonathan de St. Paer
President of Charles Schwab
Investment Management, Inc.
and the funds covered
in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
The COVID-19 pandemic broadly reshaped life during 2020—in ways that are likely to reverberate well into the new year and remind us to expect the unexpected. Equity and bond markets experienced rarely seen levels of turmoil and volatility, while money market funds saw yields drop to historic lows in the face of declining interest rates. In March 2020, as the scale of the pandemic became apparent and broad swaths of the U.S. economy began to shut down, U.S. Treasuries of all maturities fell to under 1% for the first time, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield falling to an all-time low in mid-March. By the end of March, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) lowered its policy rate to near zero. As interest rates fell and demand for safe investment harbors grew, yields on U.S. Treasury securities remained historically low. At the same time, demand for municipal money market securities declined, creating spikes in yields and reductions in liquidity. The Fed moved quickly to support money market funds in March, making several programs available that provided liquidity to the market and maintaining credit spreads at more normalized levels.
Although underlying market factors continued to improve throughout the remainder of 2020, money market yields remained near historical lows. Nevertheless, investors continued to rely on money market funds as vehicles for capital preservation and daily liquidity. At Charles Schwab Investment Management, our focus on liquidity and stability enabled us to meet our clients’ ongoing needs. We also continue to monitor yields of the Schwab Money Funds and waive fees as necessary to maintain a yield of zero or greater. Additionally, on September 24, 2020, we lowered expenses on many Schwab Money Funds share classes, simplifying our management fee structure and reducing the complexity of our operating expense ratios. As we embark on a new year, we continue to take great pride in the trust that our investors place in us and are committed to serving our clients through this extraordinarily challenging time.
Thank you for investing with Charles Schwab Investment Management, and for trusting us to help you achieve your financial goals. For more information about the Schwab Government Money Funds, please continue reading this report. In addition, you can find further details about these funds by visiting our website at www.schwabfunds.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-877-824-5615.
Sincerely,
Additionally, on September 24, 2020, we lowered expenses on many Schwab Money Funds share classes, simplifying our management fee structure and reducing the complexity of our operating expense ratios.
Management views may have changed since the report date.

The Schwab Government Money Fund (the fund) seeks the highest current income consistent with stability of capital and liquidity. To pursue its goal, the fund invests in U.S. government securities such as U.S. Treasury bills and notes, other obligations that are issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities, repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully by cash and/or U.S. government securities, and obligations that are issued by private issuers that are guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities. The fund will invest at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, U.S. government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully by cash and/or U.S. government securities; under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund’s net assets (including, for this purpose, any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested solely in U.S. government securities including repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully by U.S. government securities (excluding cash). For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategy, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
Market Highlights. Over the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2020, demand for government money market funds rose. Beginning in late February, the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the global economy, prompting a flight to quality, triggering dramatic social distancing restrictions, shuttering businesses, and causing U.S. stocks to fall steeply. The short-term U.S. Treasury yield curve became increasingly inverted in January and February 2020, as the impact of the spreading COVID-19 virus became more severe and the odds of a near-term U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut increased.
By the end of March, governments and central banks around the world had begun passing extensive emergency rescue and fiscal stimulus measures in an effort to support their economies. The Fed implemented two emergency rate cuts in March, resulting in a target range for the federal funds rate of 0.00% to 0.25%, where it remained through the end of the reporting period. Low interest rates, combined with record inflows into government money market funds from investors seeking safety, pushed yields on government and U.S. Treasury securities down to historic lows. By April, as yields remained low, demand for government money market funds began to recede as investors began shifting back into prime money market funds in search of incremental sources of income.
Outside the U.S., major central banks reduced their policy rates or maintained their already low—and for some international central banks, negative—interest rates. The European Central Bank held its policy rate at 0.00%, unchanged since March 2016, and launched a new asset purchase program to counter the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bank of Japan upheld its short-term interest rate target of -0.1%, also unchanged since 2016, and increased the annual pace of its purchases of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other assets. The Bank of England lowered its key official bank rate from 0.75% to 0.10% in two emergency rate cuts in March.
Performance, Positioning, and Strategies. Throughout the reporting period, the fund’s investment adviser remained focused on ensuring liquidity and stability of capital as market conditions evolved, and on continuing a rigorous credit review process and ongoing monitoring for all issuers and regions in which the fund invests. The fund’s weighted average maturity (WAM) varied throughout the reporting period as a result of pandemic-driven shocks to the economy and the Fed’s extraordinary response, lengthening over the second half of the year in anticipation of the slowdown in the issuance of government securities and uncertainty regarding future issuance. The fund’s WAM began the reporting period at 37 days, reached a low of 30 days in August, and a high of 46 days in November and December, where it ended the reporting period.

Schwab Government Money Funds
Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including 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 six months beginning July 1, 2020 and held through December 31, 2020.
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 a fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical return lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Schwab Government Money Fund
Portfolio Holdings as of December 31, 2020

This section shows all the securities in the fund’s portfolio and their values as of the report date.
The fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) monthly on Form N-MFP, which is available immediately upon filing. The fund’s Form N-MFP is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The fund also makes available its complete schedule of portfolio holdings 5 business days after month end on the fund’s website at www.schwabfunds.com/schwabfunds_prospectus.
For fixed-rate obligations and repurchase agreements, the rate shown is the coupon rate (the rate established when the obligation was issued) and if the coupon rate is not available, the effective yield at the time of purchase is shown. For variable-rate obligations, the rate shown is the interest rate as of the report date based on each security’s rate reset date. The reference rate and spread used is shown parenthetically in the security description, if available; if not, the reference rate is described in a footnote. The date shown in the maturity date column below is either the date on which the principal amount must be paid or the date payment must be made pursuant to a demand feature. If the security’s structure includes one of a number of maturity-shortening provisions set forth in Rule 2a-7, such as an interest rate reset, demand feature or put feature, the effective maturity date is also disclosed. If the effective maturity and maturity date are the same, the date will only appear in the maturity date column.

The fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) monthly on Form N-MFP, which is available immediately upon filing.

The fund also makes available its complete schedule of portfolio holdings 5 business days after month end on the fund’s website at www.schwabfunds.com/schwabfunds_prospectus.
For fixed-rate obligations, the rate shown is the coupon rate (the rate established when the obligation was issued) and if the coupon rate is not available, the effective yield at the time of purchase is shown. For variable-rate obligations, the rate shown is the interest rate as of the report date based on each security’s rate reset date. The reference rate and spread used is shown parenthetically in the security description, if available; if not, the reference rate is described in a footnote. The date shown in the maturity date column below is either the date on which the principal amount must be paid or the date payment must be made pursuant to a demand feature. If the security’s structure includes one of a number of maturity-shortening provisions set forth in Rule 2a-7, such as an interest rate reset, demand feature or put feature, the effective maturity date is also disclosed. If the effective maturity and maturity date are the same, the date will only appear in the maturity date column.

Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund
Portfolio Holdings as of December 31, 2020

This section shows all the securities in the fund’s portfolio and their values as of the report date.
The fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) monthly on Form N-MFP, which is available immediately upon filing. The fund’s Form N-MFP is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The fund also makes available its complete schedule of portfolio holdings 5 business days after month end on the fund’s website at www.schwabfunds.com/schwabfunds_prospectus.
For fixed-rate obligations and repurchase agreements, the rate shown is the coupon rate (the rate established when the obligation was issued) and if the coupon rate is not available, the effective yield at the time of purchase is shown. For variable-rate obligations, the rate shown is the interest rate as of the report date based on each security’s rate reset date. The reference rate and spread used is shown parenthetically in the security description, if available; if not, the reference rate is described in a footnote. The date shown in the maturity date column below is either the date on which the principal amount must be paid or the date payment must be made pursuant to a demand feature. If the security’s structure includes one of a number of maturity-shortening provisions set forth in Rule 2a-7, such as an interest rate reset, demand feature or put feature, the effective maturity date is also disclosed. If the effective maturity and maturity date are the same, the date will only appear in the maturity date column.

Schwab Government Money Funds
Financial Notes

1. Business Structure of the Funds:
Each of the funds in this report is a series of The Charles Schwab Family of Funds (the trust), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is 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 as of the end of the period, including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:
THE CHARLES SCHWAB FAMILY OF FUNDS (ORGANIZED OCTOBER 20, 1989)
Schwab Government Money Fund Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund
Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund Schwab Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund
Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund® Schwab California Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund Schwab New York Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Government Money Fund offers three share classes: Sweep Shares, Investor Shares and Ultra Shares. Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund and Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund, each offer two share classes, Investor Shares and Ultra Shares. The Ultra Shares share classes commenced operations on September 24, 2020. Shares of each class represent interest in the same portfolio, but each class has different expenses and investment minimums.
Shares are bought and sold at closing net asset value per share (NAV), which is the price for all outstanding shares of a fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the funds’ Board of Trustees (the Board) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.

    
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in their preparation of financial statements. The funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
(a) Security Valuation:
Under procedures approved by the Board, the investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow the funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
Securities in the funds are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) as permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. In the event that security valuations do not approximate fair value, securities may be fair valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.

Schwab Government Money Funds
Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•   Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities.
•   Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. Securities held by stable NAV money funds operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act are valued at amortized cost which approximates current fair value and are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.
•   Level 3significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of operations.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings, as of December 31, 2020, all of the funds’ investments were classified as Level 2.
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
Repurchase Agreements: (Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund may not invest in repurchase agreements) In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a security from another party (the counterparty), usually a financial institution, with the agreement that it be sold back in the future. Repurchase agreements subject a fund to counterparty risk, meaning that the fund could lose money if the other party fails to perform under the terms of the agreement. The funds mitigate this risk by ensuring that the funds’ repurchase agreements are collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government securities. All collateral is held by the funds’ custodian (or, with multi-party agreements, the agent’s bank) and is monitored daily to ensure that its fair value is at least equal to the maturity amount under the agreement. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed or limited and the value of the collateral may decline. Investments in repurchase agreements are also based on a review of the credit quality of the repurchase agreement counterparty.
As of December 31, 2020, the following funds had investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value as disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
Schwab Government Money Fund $14,821,833,038
Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund 2,859,601,371
The value of the related collateral disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at period end.
Delayed-Delivery Transactions: The funds may buy securities at a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. The funds will assume the rights and risks of ownership at the time of purchase, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. Typically, no interest will accrue to a fund until the security is delivered. The funds will earmark or segregate appropriate liquid assets to cover their delayed-delivery purchase obligations, if any.
(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.
(d) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. If a fund buys a debt security at a discount (less than face value) or a premium (more than face value), it amortizes premiums and accretes discounts from the purchase settlement 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. Certain securities
41
Schwab Government Money Funds  |  Annual Report

 

Schwab Government Money Funds
Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
may be callable (meaning that the issuer has the option to pay it off before its maturity date). The fund amortizes the premium and accretes the discount on each callable security to the security’s maturity date, except when the purchase price is higher than the call price at the security’s call date (in which case the premium is amortized to the call date).
(e) Expenses:
Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to more than one fund in the trusts generally are allocated among those 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 their average daily net assets.
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
The funds declare distributions from net investment income, if any, every day they are open for business. These distributions, which are substantially equal to a fund’s net investment income for that day, are paid out to shareholders once a month. The funds make distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
(g) Accounting Estimates:
The accounting policies described in this report conform to GAAP. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates and these differences may be material.
(h) Federal Income Taxes:
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to their shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(i) Indemnification:
Under the funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the funds. However, based on experience, the funds expect the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
(j) Recent Accounting Standards:
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848)” (ASU 2020-04), which provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered based reference rates at the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. At this time, management believes the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will not have a material impact to the financial statements.

    
3. Risk Factors:
Market Risk. Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets may be impacted by economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, including economic sanctions and other government actions. In addition, the occurrence of global events, such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters, and epidemics may also negatively affect the financial markets. These events could reduce consumer demand or economic output; result in market closures, low or negative interest rates, travel restrictions or quarantines; and significantly adversely impact the economy. Governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have in the past often responded to serious economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes which could have an unexpected impact on financial markets and a fund’s investments. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.

Schwab Government Money Funds
Financial Notes (continued)

3. Risk Factors (continued):
Investment Risk. You could lose money by investing in the funds. Although each fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The funds’ sponsors have no legal obligation to provide financial support to the funds, and you should not expect that the sponsors will provide financial support to the funds at any time.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, a fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, a fund’s yield (and total return) also could be low or even negative. In addition, a fund may be unable to pay expenses out of fund assets or maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Also, a change in a central bank’s monetary policy or economic conditions may result in a change in interest rates, which could have sudden and unpredictable effects on the markets. Volatility in the market may decrease liquidity in the money market securities markets, making it more difficult for a fund to sell its money market investments at a time when the investment adviser might wish to sell such investments. Decreased market liquidity also may make it more difficult to value some or all of a fund’s money market securities holdings.
Stable Net Asset Value Risk. If a fund or another money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value (or such perception exists in the market place), the fund could experience increased redemptions, which may adversely impact the fund’s share price. Each fund is permitted, among other things, to reduce or withhold any income and/or gains generated from its portfolio to maintain a stable $1.00 share price.
Repurchase Agreements Risk. (Applies only to Schwab Government Money Fund and Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund) When a fund enters into a repurchase agreement, the fund is exposed to the risk that the other party (i.e., the counterparty) will not fulfill its contractual obligation. In a repurchase agreement, there exists the risk that, when a fund buys a security from a counterparty that agrees to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price (usually higher) and time, the counterparty will not repurchase the security.
Credit Risk. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty could cause the fund to lose money or underperform. The fund could lose money if, due to a decline in credit quality, the issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty fails to make, or is perceived as being unable or unwilling to make, timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Even though a fund’s investments in repurchase agreements are collateralized at all times, there is some risk to the fund if the other party should default on its obligations and the fund is delayed or prevented from recovering or disposing of the collateral. The credit quality of a fund’s portfolio holdings can change rapidly in certain market environments and any downgrade or default on the part of a single portfolio investment could cause a fund’s share price or yield to fall.
Certain U.S. government securities that the funds invest in are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, which means they are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Although maintained in conservatorship by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) since September 2008, the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) maintain only lines of credit with the U.S. Treasury. Additionally, the FHFA recently announced plans to begin removing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from conservatorship. The Federal Home Loan Banks maintain limited access to credit lines from the U.S. Treasury. Other securities, such as obligations issued by the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation, are supported solely by the credit of the issuer. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government will provide financial support to securities of its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so under law. Also, any government guarantees on securities a fund owns do not extend to the shares of the fund itself.
Management Risk. Any actively managed mutual fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser will select investments or allocate assets in a manner that could cause a fund to underperform or otherwise not meet its investment objective. A fund’s investment adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results. The investment adviser’s maturity decisions will also affect a fund’s yield, and potentially could affect its share price. To the extent that the investment adviser anticipates interest rate trends imprecisely, a fund’s yield at times could lag the yields of other money market funds.
Redemption Risk. A fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. Redemptions by a few large investors in a fund may have a significant adverse effect on the fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. In the event any money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value, other money market funds, including the funds, could face a market-wide risk of increased redemption pressures, potentially jeopardizing the stability of their $1.00 share prices.
Money Market Fund Risk. The funds are not designed to offer capital appreciation. In exchange for their emphasis on stability and liquidity, money market investments may offer lower long-term performance than stock or bond investments.
Please refer to the funds’ prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the funds.

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
Investment Adviser
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM or the investment adviser), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement between it and the trust.
For its advisory and administrative services to the funds, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.19% of each fund’s average daily net assets.
Prior to September 24, 2020, the advisory and administrative service fees of the funds were as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets  
First $1 billion 0.35%
More than $1 billion but not exceeding $10 billion 0.32%
More than $10 billion but not exceeding $20 billion 0.30%
More than $20 billion but not exceeding $40 billion 0.27%
Over $40 billion 0.25%
For the period ended December 31, 2020, the aggregate advisory fees paid to CSIM by the funds, as a percentage of each fund’s average daily net assets were as follows:
Schwab Government Money Fund 0.27%
Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund 0.28%
Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund 0.29%
Shareholder Servicing
The Board has adopted a Shareholder Servicing and Sweep Administration Plan (the Plan) on behalf of the funds. The Plan enables each fund to bear expenses relating to the provision by financial intermediaries, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a broker-dealer affiliate of CSIM (together, service providers), of certain account maintenance, customer liaison and shareholder services to the current shareholders of the funds. The Plan also enables Sweep Shares of a fund to pay Schwab for certain sweep administration services, such as processing of automatic purchases and redemptions, it provides to fund shareholders invested in such funds based on the amounts set forth below.
Pursuant to the Plan, each fund’s shares are subject to an annual shareholder servicing fee up to the amount set forth in the table below. The shareholder servicing fee paid to a particular service provider is made pursuant to its written agreement with Schwab, as distributor of the funds (or, in the case of payments made to Schwab acting as a service provider, pursuant to Schwab’s written agreement with the funds), and the funds will pay no more than the amounts listed in the table below, calculated based on the average annual daily net asset value of the fund shares owned by shareholders holding shares through such service providers. The sweep administration fee and shareholder servicing fee paid to Schwab are based on the average daily net asset value of a fund’s shares owned by shareholders holding shares through Schwab.
Payments under the Plan are made as described above without regard to whether the fee is more or less than the service provider’s actual cost of providing the services, and if more, such excess may be retained as profit by the service provider.

Voluntary Yield Waiver/Reimbursement
CSIM and its affiliates may waive and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a non-negative net yield for each fund or each class of a fund.
Interfund Transactions
The funds may engage in transactions with certain other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section) in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board under Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. When one fund is seeking to sell a security that another is seeking to buy, an interfund transaction can allow both funds to benefit by reducing transaction costs. This practice is limited to funds that share the same investment adviser, trustees and/or officers. For the period ended December 31, 2020, each fund’s total aggregate security transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex as well as any realized gains (losses) were as follows:

Interfund Borrowing and Lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section). All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review by the Board. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.

    
5. Board of Trustees:
The Board may include people who are officers and/or directors of CSIM or its affiliates. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The trust did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees, but it did pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as noted on each fund’s Statement of Operations.

6. Borrowing from Banks:
During the period, the funds were participants with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, syndicated, committed $750 million line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), which matured on October 1, 2020. On October 1, 2020, the Syndicated Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with a line of credit of $850 million, maturing on September 30, 2021. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to the interest charged on any borrowings by a fund, each fund paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the funds’ proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility.
During the period, the funds were participants with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $500 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street Bank and Trust Company, which was scheduled to mature on November 27, 2020. However, on October 1, 2020, the Uncommitted Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with a line of credit of $400 million, maturing on September 30, 2021. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, each fund pays interest on the amount a fund borrows. There were no borrowings from either line of credit during the period.
The funds also have access to custodian overdraft facilities. A fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on each fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

    
7. Federal Income Taxes:
As of December 31, 2020, the tax basis cost of the funds’ investments was as follows:
  Schwab
Government
Money Fund

7. Federal Income Taxes (continued):
The tax basis components of distributions paid during the current and prior fiscal years were as follows:
  Schwab
Government
Money Fund
Schwab
U.S. Treasury
Money Fund
Schwab
Treasury
Obligations
Money Fund
Current fiscal year end distributions      
Ordinary income $71,394,925 $22,548,962 $30,304,948
Prior fiscal year end distributions      
Ordinary income $398,860,846 $98,207,734 $178,574,771
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The adjustments will have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
As of December 31, 2020, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and for 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

    
8. Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm:
On June 8, 2020, the Audit, Compliance and Valuation Committee of the Board approved, and on June 9, 2020, the Board approved, Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered accounting firm of the Schwab Funds Complex for fiscal periods ending after June 8, 2020.
On June 8, 2020, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Prior Auditor”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Schwab Funds Complex. The Prior Auditor’s reports on the financial statements of the funds for the past two fiscal years, the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the last two fiscal year-ends and through June 8, 2020, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its reports on the funds’ financial statements for such periods; or (2) “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

    
9. Subsequent Events:
Management has determined there are no subsequent events or transactions through the date the financial statements were issued that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.

Schwab Government Money Funds
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of The Charles Schwab Family of Funds and Shareholders of Schwab Government Money Fund, Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund, and Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, of Schwab Government Money Fund, Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund, and Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund (the “Funds”), three of the funds constituting The Charles Schwab Family of Funds, as of December 31, 2020, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2020, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The statements of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 2019; except for Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund, the financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from January 17, 2018 to December 31, 2018, were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated February 18, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on such statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Schwab Government Money Funds
Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that a fund’s investment advisory agreement, including any amendments thereto, must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the Independent Trustees), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
At a meeting held on September 22, 2020 (the Meeting), the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information relating to a proposed amendment to the investment advisory agreement (the Amendment) between The Charles Schwab Family of Funds (the Trust) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab Government Money Fund, Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund, and Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund (the Funds), to reflect a reduction in the advisory fee paid by each Fund to CSIM as compensation for CSIM’s services rendered to such Fund. The Board also considered a corresponding amendment to each
Fund’s expense limitation agreement to reduce the expense limitation for the Investor Shares and Sweep Shares of Schwab Government Money Fund and the Investors Shares of each of the Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund and Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund. The Board reviewed materials provided by CSIM relating to these changes, including a representation by CSIM that the changes will not result in any reduction in the nature and level of services provided to the Funds by CSIM. The Board also considered the extensive information that the Board reviewed and the conclusions it reached at its May and June 2020 meetings (the Annual Meetings) in connection with its annual consideration and approval of the continuation of each Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described at the Meeting and the Annual Meetings, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Amendment with respect to each Fund effective September 24, 2020 and concluded that the compensation payable by each Fund to CSIM under the Agreement is fair and reasonable in light of the services CSIM renders to (and the expenses it bears relating to) such Fund and such other matters as the Trustees considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

Schwab Government Money Funds
Glossary

144A securities  These securities may be sold only to qualified institutional buyers under Securities Act Rule 144A.
agency discount notes  Notes issued by federal agencies—known as Government Sponsored Enterprises, or GSEs—at a discount to their value at maturity. An agency discount note is a short-term investment offering a high degree of credit quality.
asset-backed commercial paper  A short-term investment that is typically issued by a bank or other financial institution. The notes represent an interest in financial assets such as trade receivables, credit card receivables, auto receivables, etc. and are generally used for the short-term financing needs of companies. Asset-backed commercial paper is subject to credit risk.
capital gain, capital loss  The difference between the amount paid for an investment and its value at a later time. If the investment has been sold, the capital gain or loss is considered a realized gain or loss. If the investment is still held, the gain or loss is still “on paper” and is considered unrealized.
collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO)  A type of security that is collateralized by pools of mortgages backed by government agencies or private issuers (non-agency). The streams of principal and interest payments on the mortgages are distributed to the different classes of CMO interests, known as tranches. Each tranche may have different principal balances, coupon rates, prepayment risks, and maturity dates.
commercial paper  Promissory notes issued by banks, corporations and other entities to finance short-term credit needs. These securities generally are structured on a discounted basis but sometimes may be interest-bearing notes. Commercial paper, which may be unsecured, is subject to credit risk.
corporate note  An unsecured debt security issued by a corporation that is subject to the credit risk of the issuer.
credit-enhanced securities  Securities that are backed by the credit of an entity other than the issuer (such as a financial institution). Credit enhancements, which can equal up to 100% of the security’s value, are designed to help lower the risk of default on a security and may also make the security more liquid.
credit quality  The capacity of an issuer to make its interest and principal payments. Federal regulations strictly regulate the credit quality of the securities a money market fund can buy.
credit ratings  Debt issuers, including corporations, states and municipalities, may arrange with a recognized independent rating organization, such as Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, Inc., Moody’s Investor Service, and DBRS, to rate their creditworthiness and/or the creditworthiness of their debt issues. For example, an issuer may obtain a long-term rating within the investment grade rating category, which is, from high to low, AAA, AA, A and BBB for Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, and DBRS; and Aaa, Aa, A and Baa for Moody’s.
credit risk  The risk that a debt issuer may be unable to pay interest or repay principal to its debt holders.
dollar-weighted average maturity  See weighted average maturity.
effective yield  A measurement of a fund’s yield that assumes that all interest income is reinvested in additional shares of the fund.
exchange-traded fund (ETF)  An investment fund that tracks an index, a commodity or a basket of assets, and trades on an exchange.
expense ratio  The amount that is taken from a mutual fund’s assets each year to cover the fund’s operating expenses. An expense ratio of 0.50% means that a fund’s expenses amount to half of one percent of its average net assets a year.
face value  The value of a bond, note, mortgage or other security as given on the certificate or instrument. Face value is also referred to as par value or nominal value.
illiquid securities  Securities are generally considered illiquid if they cannot be disposed of promptly (typically within seven days) and in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which a fund has valued the instruments.
interest  Payments to holders of debt securities as compensation for loaning a security’s principal to the issuer.
liquidity-enhanced security  The security’s structure includes a liquidity arrangement that requires an entity other than the issuer (such as a large financial institution) to provide funds to pay a tender under most circumstances. Liquidity enhancements are often used on variable-rate securities where the portfolio manager has an option to tender the securities for repayment within a specified time period (usually one day or one week) at any time prior to their final maturity.
maturity  The date a debt security is scheduled to be “retired” and its principal amount repaid. The Maturity of an investment will generally reflect the security’s final maturity date unless the security’s structure includes a maturity-shortening provision such as an interest rate reset, demand feature or put feature (the “Effective Maturity Date”). For those securities with a maturity-shortening provision, including variable-rate demand securities, the Maturity is determined by using the Effective Maturity Date, as permitted by Rule 2a-7.
municipal securities  Debt securities issued by a state, its counties, municipalities, authorities and other subdivisions, or the territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia, including their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and corporations. These securities may be issued to obtain money for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, public utilities, schools, streets, and water and sewer works.
net asset value per share (NAV)  The value of one share of a mutual fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets, subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. Certain money funds seek to maintain a steady NAV of $1.00.
outstanding shares, shares outstanding  When speaking of a company or mutual fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.
repurchase agreement  (also known as a “repo”) The sale of a security combined with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase it at a predetermined date and price.
restricted securities  Securities that are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. These securities are often purchased in private placement transactions.
total return  The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.

Schwab Government Money Funds
variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs)  Securities that have long maturities but which, because of their structure, require them to repay principal plus accrued interest within a specified timeframe (usually one or seven days) upon the demand of the bond holder. Depending on their structure, the repayment may be made by the bond issuer or by a financial institution, such as a highly rated bank.
weighted average maturity (WAM)  For money market mutual funds as per rule 2a-7, the maturity date or Effective Maturity Date (see definition of maturity) of all the debt securities in its portfolio, or the date the interest rate on those securities is reset, or the date those
securities can be redeemed through demand, calculated as a weighted average. As a rule, the longer a fund’s weighted average maturity, the greater its interest rate risk. Money funds are required to maintain a weighted average maturity of no more than 60 days.
yield  The income paid out by an investment, expressed as a percentage of the investment’s market value.

Schwab Municipal Money Fund & Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund
From the President

Jonathan de St. Paer
President of Charles Schwab
Investment Management, Inc.
and the funds covered
in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
The COVID-19 pandemic broadly reshaped life during 2020—in ways that are likely to reverberate well into the new year and remind us to expect the unexpected. Equity and bond markets experienced rarely seen levels of turmoil and volatility, while money market funds saw yields drop to historic lows in the face of declining interest rates. In March 2020, as the scale of the pandemic became apparent and broad swaths of the U.S. economy began to shut down, U.S. Treasuries of all maturities fell to under 1% for the first time, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield falling to an all-time low in mid-March. By the end of March, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) lowered its policy rate to near zero. As interest rates fell and demand for safe investment harbors grew, yields on U.S. Treasury securities remained historically low. At the same time, demand for municipal money market securities declined, creating spikes in yields and reductions in liquidity. The Fed moved quickly to support money market funds in March, making several programs available that provided liquidity to the market and maintaining credit spreads at more normalized levels.
Although underlying market factors continued to improve throughout the remainder of 2020, money market yields remained near historical lows. Nevertheless, investors continued to rely on money market funds as vehicles for capital preservation and daily liquidity. At Charles Schwab Investment Management, our focus on liquidity and stability enabled us to meet our clients’ ongoing needs. We also continue to monitor yields of the Schwab Money Funds and waive fees as necessary to maintain a yield of zero or greater. Additionally, on September 24, 2020, we lowered expenses on many Schwab Money Funds share classes, simplifying our management fee structure and reducing the complexity of our operating expense ratios. As we embark on a new year, we continue to take great pride in the trust that our investors place in us and are committed to serving our clients through this extraordinarily challenging time.
Thank you for investing with Charles Schwab Investment Management, and for trusting us to help you achieve your financial goals. For more information about the Schwab Municipal Money Fund or the Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund, please continue reading this report. In addition, you can find further details about these funds by visiting our website at www.schwabfunds.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-877-824-5615.
Sincerely,
Additionally, on September 24, 2020, we lowered expenses on many Schwab Money Funds share classes, simplifying our management fee structure and reducing the complexity of our operating expense ratios.

Schwab Municipal Money Fund as of December 31, 2020

The Schwab Municipal Money Fund (the fund) seeks the highest current income that is consistent with stability of capital and liquidity, and is exempt from federal income tax. To pursue its goal, the fund invests in municipal (muni) money market securities from states and muni agencies around the country and from U.S. territories and possessions. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategy, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
Market Highlights. The 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2020, was a volatile one for muni money market securities. In the first two months of the year, as the short-term U.S. Treasury yield curve became increasingly inverted—reflecting expectations of lower rates throughout 2020—demand for muni money market securities increased. However, beginning in late February, the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the global economy, prompting a flight to quality, triggering dramatic social distancing restrictions, shuttering businesses, and causing U.S. stocks to fall steeply.
In response, by mid-March, the pace of redemptions of muni money market funds was on the rise, and the abrupt drop in demand drove yields sharply higher. Over a one week period in mid-March, the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index—a widely used benchmark for yields on floating-rate muni securities—spiked from 1.28% to 5.20%. By the end of March, governments and central banks around the world had begun passing extensive emergency rescue and fiscal stimulus measures in an effort to support their economies. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) implemented two emergency rate cuts in March, resulting in a target range for the federal funds rate of 0.00% to 0.25%, where it remained through the end of the reporting period. The Fed also responded with a variety of measures designed to boost liquidity in prime and muni money markets, including the creation of the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility, which provided prime and muni money market funds the opportunity to sell portfolio holdings, if needed. This helped to increase fund liquidity to meet redemptions and maintain required liquidity levels. Demand for muni money market funds declined in the second half of the reporting period as many investors shifted to higher-yielding options. Despite the resulting decline in demand from traditional muni money market funds for muni money market securities, supply for tax-exempt money market securities became somewhat constrained as non-traditional buyers, like taxable money market funds and tax-exempt bond funds, found value in short-term muni securities. Supply was further restricted as some issuers normally prevalent in the tax-exempt universe opted instead to issue taxable securities as a way to increase flexibility. As a result, SIFMA yields trended sharply lower over the remainder of the year, ending the reporting period at 0.09%.
Outside the U.S., major central banks reduced their policy rates or maintained already low—and for some international central banks, negative—interest rates. The European Central Bank held its policy rate at 0.00%, unchanged since March 2016, and launched a new asset purchase program to counter the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bank of Japan upheld its short-term interest rate target of -0.1%, also unchanged since 2016, and increased the annual pace of its purchases of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other assets. The Bank of England lowered its key official bank rate from 0.75% to 0.10% in two emergency rate cuts in March.
Performance, Positioning, and Strategies. Throughout the reporting period, the fund’s investment adviser remained focused on liquidity and stability of capital as market conditions evolved, and on continuing a rigorous credit review process and ongoing monitoring for all issuers and regions in which the fund invests. The fund’s weighted average maturity (WAM) increased slightly, beginning the reporting period at 32 days and ending the reporting period at 34 days despite experiencing some variation throughout the reporting period as a result of pandemic-driven shocks to the economy and the Fed’s extraordinary response—reaching a low of 26 days in April, May, and June and a high of 47 days in September.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including 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 the fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning July 1, 2020 and held through December 31, 2020.
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 a fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical return lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Schwab Municipal Money Fund
Portfolio Holdings as of December 31, 2020

This section shows all the securities in the fund’s portfolio and their values as of the report date.
The fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) monthly on Form N-MFP, which is available immediately upon filing. The fund’s Form N-MFP is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The fund also makes available its complete schedule of portfolio holdings 5 business days after month end on the fund’s website at www.schwabfunds.com/schwabfunds_prospectus.
For fixed-rate obligations, the rate shown is the coupon rate (the rate established when the obligation was issued) and if the coupon rate is not available, the effective yield at the time of purchase is shown. For variable-rate obligations, the rate shown is the interest rate as of the report date based on each security’s rate reset date. The reference rate and spread used is shown parenthetically in the security description, if available; if not, the reference rate is described in a footnote. The date shown in the maturity date column below is either the date on which the principal amount must be paid or the date payment must be made pursuant to a demand feature. If the security’s structure includes one of a number of maturity-shortening provisions set forth in Rule 2a-7, such as an interest rate reset, demand feature or put feature, the effective maturity date is also disclosed. If the effective maturity and maturity date are the same, the date will only appear in the maturity date column.

a VRDN is a municipal security which allows holders to sell their security through a put or tender feature, at par value plus accrued interest. The interest rate resets on a periodic basis, the majority of which are weekly but may be daily or monthly. Unless a reference rate and spread is shown parenthetically, the Remarketing Agent, generally a dealer, determines the interest rate for the security at each interest rate reset date. The rate is typically based on the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index.
b Securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registrations, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At the period end, the value of these amounted to $3,718,524,000 or 31.0% of net assets.
c TOB is a synthetically created VRDN where the owner of a long-term bond places the bond in a trust in combination with a liquidity facility. The trust then sells certificates which mirror the VRDN sold directly by a municipal issuer. VRDN is a municipal security which allows holders to sell their security through a put or tender feature, at par value plus accrued interest.

The fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) monthly on Form N-MFP, which is available immediately upon filing. The fund’s Form N-MFP is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The fund also makes available its complete schedule of portfolio holdings 5 business days after month end on the fund’s website at www.schwabfunds.com/schwabfunds_prospectus.
For fixed-rate obligations, the rate shown is the coupon rate (the rate established when the obligation was issued) and if the coupon rate is not available, the effective yield at the time of purchase is shown. For variable-rate obligations, the rate shown is the interest rate as of the report date based on each security’s rate reset date. The reference rate and spread used is shown parenthetically in the security description, if available; if not, the reference rate is described in a footnote. The date shown in the maturity date column below is either the date on which the principal amount must be paid or the date payment must be made pursuant to a demand feature. If the security’s structure includes one of a number of maturity-shortening provisions set forth in Rule 2a-7, such as an interest rate reset, demand feature or put feature, the effective maturity date is also disclosed.

b TOB is a synthetically created VRDN where the owner of a long-term bond places the bond in a trust in combination with a liquidity facility. The trust then sells certificates which mirror the VRDN sold directly by a municipal issuer. VRDN is a municipal security which allows holders to sell their security through a put or tender feature, at par value plus accrued interest. The interest rate resets on a periodic basis, the majority of which are weekly but may be daily or monthly. Unless a reference rate and spread is shown parenthetically, the Remarketing Agent, generally a dealer, determines the interest rate for the security at each interest rate reset date. The rate is typically based on the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index.

Financial Notes

1. Business Structure of the Funds:
Each of the funds in this report is a series of The Charles Schwab Family of Funds (the trust), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is 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 as of the end of the period, including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:
THE CHARLES SCHWAB FAMILY OF FUNDS (ORGANIZED OCTOBER 20, 1989)
Schwab Government Money Fund Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund
Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund Schwab Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund
Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund® Schwab California Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund Schwab New York Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Municipal Money Fund and Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund each offer two share classes: Investor Shares and Ultra Shares. Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund’s Ultra Shares share classes commenced operations on September 24, 2020. Shares of each class represent interest in the same portfolio, but each class has different expenses and investment minimums.
Shares are bought and sold at closing net asset value per share (NAV), which is the price for all outstanding shares of a fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the funds’ Board of Trustees (the Board) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.

    
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in their preparation of financial statements. The funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
(a) Security Valuation:
Under procedures approved by the Board, the investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow the funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
Securities in the funds are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) as permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. In the event that security valuations do not approximate fair value, securities may be fair valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the valuation procedures.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.

Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•   Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities.
•   Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. Securities held by stable NAV money funds operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act are valued at amortized cost which approximates current fair value and are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.
•   Level 3significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of operations.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings, as of December 31, 2020, all of the funds’ investments were classified as Level 2.
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities: During the period, certain funds transacted in securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the funds’ Portfolio Holdings. The funds may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the funds identify securities as segregated in their records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
(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.
(d) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. If a fund buys a debt security at a discount (less than face value) or a premium (more than face value), it amortizes premiums and accretes discounts from the purchase settlement 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. Certain securities may be callable (meaning that the issuer has the option to pay it off before its maturity date). The fund amortizes the premium and accretes the discount on each callable security to the security’s maturity date, except when the purchase price is higher than the call price at the security’s call date (in which case the premium is amortized to the call date).
(e) Expenses:
Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to more than one fund in the trusts generally are allocated among those 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 their average daily net assets.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
The funds declare distributions from net investment income, if any, every day they are open for business. These distributions, which are substantially equal to a fund’s net investment income for that day, are paid out to shareholders once a month. The funds make distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
(g) Accounting Estimates:
The accounting policies described in this report conform to GAAP. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates and these differences may be material.
(h) Federal Income Taxes:
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to their shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(i) Indemnification:
Under the funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the funds. However, based on experience, the funds expect the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.

    
3. Credit and Liquidity Enhancements:
A substantial portion of the funds’ investments are in securities with credit enhancements and/or liquidity enhancements from financial institutions or corporations. These enhancements are employed by the issuers of the securities to reduce credit risk and provide liquidity for the purchaser. The following table provides detail on the approximate percentage of total assets for each fund’s investments in securities with these types of enhancements, as well as any entities providing enhancements to 10% or greater of investments in securities in each fund.
  Schwab

% of investments in securities with credit enhancements or liquidity enhancements 67% 71%
% of investments in securities with credit enhancements or liquidity enhancements 10% or greater from a single institution - -
For additional information, please refer to the funds’ Portfolio Holdings. Investments with credit enhancements are tickmarked as letter of credit “LOC,” guaranty “GTY” and/or liquidity agreement “LIQ,” respectively, along with the institution providing the enhancement.

    
4. Risk Factors:
Market Risk. Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets may be impacted by economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, including economic sanctions and other government actions. In addition, the occurrence of global events, such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters, and epidemics may also negatively affect the financial markets. These events could reduce consumer demand or economic output; result in market closures, low or negative interest rates, travel restrictions or quarantines; and significantly adversely impact the economy. Governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have in the past often responded to serious economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes which could have an unexpected impact on financial markets and a fund’s investments. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.

Financial Notes (continued)

4. Risk Factors (continued):
Investment Risk. You could lose money by investing in the funds. Although each fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The funds may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the funds’ liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The funds’ sponsors have no legal obligation to provide financial support to the funds, and you should not expect that the sponsors will provide financial support to the funds at any time.
Retail Money Market Fund Risk. Each fund is a “retail money market fund,” as such term is defined or interpreted under the rules governing money market funds. A “retail money market fund” is a money market fund that has policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the fund to natural persons. A fund may involuntarily redeem any investor who is not a natural person. Each fund will provide advance notice of its intent to make any such involuntary redemption. Neither the fund nor the investment adviser will be responsible for any loss or tax liability in an investor’s account resulting from such involuntary redemption. As a “retail money market fund,” each fund is permitted to value its securities using the amortized cost method to seek to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. However, each fund may be subject to liquidity fees and/or redemption gates on fund redemptions if the fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, a fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, a fund’s yield (and total return) also could be low or even negative. In addition, a fund may be unable to pay expenses out of fund assets or maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Also, a change in a central bank’s monetary policy or economic conditions may result in a change in interest rates, which could have sudden and unpredictable effects on the markets. Volatility in the market may decrease liquidity in the money market securities markets, making it more difficult for a fund to sell its money market investments at a time when the investment adviser might wish to sell such investments. Decreased market liquidity also may make it more difficult to value some or all of a fund’s money market securities holdings.
Stable Net Asset Value Risk. If a fund or another money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value (or such perception exists in the market place), the fund could experience increased redemptions, which may adversely impact the fund’s share price. Each fund is permitted, among other things, to reduce or withhold any income and/or gains generated from its portfolio to maintain a stable $1.00 share price.
Credit Risk. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty could cause a fund to lose money or underperform. A fund could lose money if, due to a decline in credit quality, the issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty fails to make, or is perceived as being unable or unwilling to make, timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. The credit quality of a fund’s portfolio holdings can change rapidly in certain market environments and any downgrade or default on the part of a single portfolio investment could cause the fund’s share price or yield to fall.
Credit and Liquidity Enhancements Risk. The funds may invest in securities with credit or liquidity enhancements provided by a bank or other financial institution, and the existence and nature of such enhancements may be a significant factor in the investment adviser’s decision-making process. Generally, these enhancements are employed by the issuers of the securities to reduce credit risk and provide enhanced or back-up liquidity for purchasers, such as the funds. Adverse developments affecting these banks and financial institutions could therefore have a negative effect on the value of a fund’s holdings. For example, a rating agency downgrade of a credit or liquidity enhancement provider may adversely affect the value of securities held by a fund. Any decline in the value of the securities held by a fund could cause the fund’s share price or yield to fall. To the extent that a portion of a fund’s underlying investments are enhanced by the same bank or financial institution, these risks may be increased.
Management Risk. Any actively managed mutual fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser will select investments or allocate assets in a manner that could cause a fund to underperform or otherwise not meet its investment objective. A fund’s investment adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results. The investment adviser’s maturity decisions will also affect a fund’s yield, and potentially could affect its share price. To the extent that the investment adviser anticipates interest rate trends imprecisely, a fund’s yield at times could lag the yields of other money market funds.
State and Regional Risk. State and regional factors could affect a fund’s performance. To the extent that a fund invests in securities from a given state or geographic region, its share price and performance could be affected by local, state and regional factors, including erosion of the tax base and changes in the economic climate. National governmental actions, such as the elimination of tax-exempt status, also could affect performance. In addition, a municipality or municipal project that relies directly or indirectly on national governmental funding mechanisms may be negatively affected by the national government’s current budgetary constraints.

Schwab Municipal Money Fund & Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund
Financial Notes (continued)

4. Risk Factors (continued):
Investment Concentration Risk. To the extent that a fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in municipal securities financing similar projects, the fund may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments affecting those projects. A change that affects one project, such as proposed legislation on the financing of the project, a shortage of materials needed for the project, or a declining need for the project, would likely affect all similar projects and the overall municipal securities market.
Taxable Determinations Risk. Some of a fund’s income could be taxable. If certain types of investments a fund buys as tax-exempt are later ruled to be taxable, a portion of the fund’s income could become taxable. This risk, although generally considered low, is somewhat higher for investments that have been structured as municipal money market securities than for investments in other types of municipal money market securities. Any defensive investments in taxable securities or securities could generate taxable income. Also, some types of municipal securities produce income that is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT).
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase, sell or value, especially during stressed market conditions. The market for certain investments may become illiquid due to specific adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer or under adverse market or economic conditions independent of the issuer. In addition, limited dealer inventories of certain securities could potentially lead to decreased liquidity. In such cases, a fund, due to limitations on investments in illiquid securities and the difficulty in readily purchasing and selling such securities at favorable times or prices, may decline in value, experience lower returns and/or be unable to achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain issuer or sector. Further, transactions in illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.
Redemption Risk. A fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. Redemptions by a few large investors in a fund may have a significant adverse effect on the fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. In the event any money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value, other money market funds, including the funds, could face a market-wide risk of increased redemption pressures, potentially jeopardizing the stability of their $1.00 share prices.
Money Market Fund Risk. The funds are not designed to offer capital appreciation. In exchange for their emphasis on stability and liquidity, money market investments may offer lower long-term performance than stock or bond investments.
Please refer to the funds’ prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the funds.

    
5. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
Investment Adviser
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM or the investment adviser), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement between it and the trust.
For its advisory and administrative services to the funds, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.19% of each fund’s average daily net assets.
Prior to September 24, 2020, the advisory and administrative service fees of the funds were as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets  
First $1 billion 0.35%
More than $1 billion but not exceeding $10 billion 0.32%
More than $10 billion but not exceeding $20 billion 0.30%
More than $20 billion but not exceeding $40 billion 0.27%
Over $40 billion 0.25%
For the period ended December 31, 2020, the aggregate advisory fees paid to CSIM by the Schwab Municipal Money Fund and the Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund were 0.28% and 0.31%, respectively, as a percentage of each fund’s average daily net assets.
Shareholder Servicing
The Board has adopted a Shareholder Servicing and Sweep Administration Plan (the Plan) on behalf of the funds. The Plan enables each fund to bear expenses relating to the provision by financial intermediaries, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a broker-dealer affiliate of CSIM (together, service providers), of certain account maintenance, customer liaison and shareholder services to the current shareholders of the funds.

Financial Notes (continued)

5. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
Pursuant to the Plan, each fund’s shares are subject to an annual shareholder servicing fee up to the amount set forth in the table below. The shareholder servicing fee paid to a particular service provider is made pursuant to its written agreement with Schwab, as distributor of the funds (or, in the case of payments made to Schwab acting as a service provider, pursuant to Schwab’s written agreement with the funds), and the funds will pay no more than the amounts listed in the table below, calculated based on the average annual daily net asset value of the fund shares owned by shareholders holding shares through such service providers.
Payments under the Plan are made as described above without regard to whether the fee is more or less than the service provider’s actual cost of providing the services, and if more, such excess may be retained as profit by the service provider.
  Shareholder Servicing Fee
Investor Shares 0.15%
Ultra Shares n/a
Contractual Expense Limitation
CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with each fund, for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the funds, which may only be amended or terminated with the approval of the Board, to limit the total annual fund operating expenses charged, excluding interest, taxes, and certain non-routine expenses (expense limitation), as follows:

Voluntary Yield Waiver/Reimbursement
CSIM and its affiliates may waive and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a positive net yield for each fund or each class of a fund.
Interfund Transactions
The funds may engage in transactions with certain other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section) in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board under Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. When one fund is seeking to sell a security that another is seeking to buy, an interfund transaction can allow both funds to benefit by reducing transaction costs. This practice is limited to funds that share the same investment adviser, trustees and/or officers. For the period ended December 31, 2020, each fund’s total aggregate security transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex as well as any realized gains (losses) were as follows:
  Total Aggregate Transactions Realized Gains (Losses)

5. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
Interfund Borrowing and Lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review by the Board. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.

    
6. Board of Trustees:
The Board may include people who are officers and/or directors of CSIM or its affiliates. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The trust did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees, but it did pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as noted on each fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

    
7. Borrowing from Banks:
During the period, the funds were participants with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, syndicated, committed $750 million line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), which matured on October 1, 2020. On October 1, 2020, the Syndicated Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with a line of credit of $850 million, maturing on September 30, 2021. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to the interest charged on any borrowings by a fund, each fund paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the funds’ proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility.
During the period, the funds were participants with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $500 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street Bank and Trust Company, which was scheduled to mature on November 27, 2020. However, on October 1, 2020, the Uncommitted Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with a line of credit of $400 million, maturing on September 30, 2021. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, each fund pays interest on the amount a fund borrows. There were no borrowings from either line of credit during the period.
The funds also have access to custodian overdraft facilities. A fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on each fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

AMT Tax-Free
Money Fund
Current fiscal year end distributions    
Tax-exempt income $60,874,770 $4,299,107

Tax-exempt income $198,247,102 $14,653,498
Ordinary income
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The adjustments will have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
As of December 31, 2020, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and for 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

    
9. Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm:
On June 8, 2020, the Audit, Compliance and Valuation Committee of the Board approved, and on June 9, 2020, the Board approved, Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered accounting firm of the Schwab Funds Complex for fiscal periods ending after June 8, 2020.
On June 8, 2020, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Prior Auditor”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Schwab Funds Complex. The Prior Auditor’s reports on the financial statements of the funds for the past two fiscal years, the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the last two fiscal year-ends and through June 8, 2020, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its reports on the funds’ financial statements for such periods; or (2) “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of The Charles Schwab Family of Funds and Shareholders of Schwab Municipal Money Fund and Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, of Schwab Municipal Money Fund and Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund (the “Funds”), two of the funds constituting The Charles Schwab Family of Funds, as of December 31, 2020, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2020, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The statements of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 2019 were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated February 18, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on such statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that a fund’s investment advisory agreement, including any amendments thereto, must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the Independent Trustees), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
At a meeting held on September 22, 2020 (the Meeting), the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information relating to a proposed amendment to the investment advisory agreement (the Amendment) between The Charles Schwab Family of Funds (the Trust) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab Municipal Money Fund and Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund (the Funds), to reflect a reduction in the advisory fee paid by each Fund to CSIM as compensation for CSIM’s services rendered
to such Fund. The Board also considered a corresponding amendment to each Fund’s expense limitation agreement to reduce the expense limitation for such Fund’s Investor Shares. The Board reviewed materials provided by CSIM relating to these changes, including a representation by CSIM that the changes will not result in any reduction in the nature and level of services provided to the Funds by CSIM. The Board also considered the extensive information that the Board reviewed and the conclusions it reached at its May and June 2020 meetings (the Annual Meetings) in connection with its annual consideration and approval of the continuation of each Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described at the Meeting and the Annual Meetings, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Amendment with respect to each Fund effective September 24, 2020 and concluded that the compensation payable by each Fund to CSIM under the Agreement is fair and reasonable in light of the services CSIM renders to (and the expenses it bears relating to) such Fund and such other matters as the Trustees considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

Schwab Municipal Money Fund & Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund
Glossary

144A securities  These securities may be sold only to qualified institutional buyers under Securities Act Rule 144A.
Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)  A federal income tax designed to limit the extent to which high-income taxpayers (including individuals, estates, trusts and corporations) can benefit from certain deductions and exemptions. For example, some types of income that are exempt from regular federal income tax are not exempt from the AMT.
bond  A security representing a loan from the investor to the issuer. A bond typically pays interest at a fixed rate (the coupon rate) until a specified date (the maturity date), at which time the issuer returns the money borrowed (principal or face value) to the bondholder. Because of their structure, bonds are sometimes called “fixed income securities” or “debt securities.”
An individual bond is subject to the credit risk of the issuer. Changes in interest rates can affect a bond’s market value prior to call or maturity. There is no guarantee that a bond’s yield to call or maturity will provide a positive return over the rate of inflation.
bond anticipation notes Obligations sold by a state or local government on a short-term basis in anticipation of the issuance of a longer-term bond in the future.
capital gain, capital loss  The difference between the amount paid for an investment and its value at a later time. If the investment has been sold, the capital gain or loss is considered a realized gain or loss. If the investment is still held, the gain or loss is still “on paper” and is considered unrealized.
commercial paper  Promissory notes issued by banks, corporations and other entities to finance short-term credit needs. These securities generally are structured on a discounted basis but sometimes may be interest-bearing notes. Commercial paper, which may be unsecured, is subject to credit risk.
credit-enhanced securities  Securities that are backed by the credit of an entity other than the issuer (such as a financial institution). Credit enhancements, which can equal up to 100% of the security’s value, are designed to help lower the risk of default on a security and may also make the security more liquid.
credit quality  The capacity of an issuer to make its interest and principal payments. Federal regulations strictly regulate the credit quality of the securities a money market fund can buy.
credit ratings  Debt issuers, including corporations, states and municipalities, may arrange with a recognized independent rating organization, such as Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, Inc., Moody’s Investor Service, and DBRS, to rate their creditworthiness and/or the creditworthiness of their debt issues. For example, an issuer may obtain a long-term rating within the investment grade rating category, which is, from high to low, AAA, AA, A and BBB for Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, and DBRS; and Aaa, Aa, A and Baa for Moody’s.
credit risk  The risk that a debt issuer may be unable to pay interest or repay principal to its debt holders.
dollar-weighted average maturity  See weighted average maturity.
effective yield  A measurement of a fund’s yield that assumes that all interest income is reinvested in additional shares of the fund.
escrow  The issuer of an escrowed bond deposits funds in a trust which are verified by a third party to be sufficient to pay the bond’s principal and interest at maturity or at a call date. The funds in the trust are invested in high quality investments, typically US Treasury and Agency obligations which mature at or prior to the bond’s maturity or call date.
expense ratio  The amount that is taken from a mutual fund’s assets each year to cover the fund’s operating expenses. An expense ratio of 0.50% means that a fund’s expenses amount to half of one percent of its average net assets a year.
face value  The value of a bond, note, mortgage or other security as given on the certificate or instrument. Face value is also referred to as par value or nominal value.
fixed rate notes  A security with a fixed rate or coupon and a short maturity (typically within thirteen months). For example, bond, revenue or tax anticipation notes.
Guaranty (GTY)  An instrument issued by a financial institution to unconditionally guarantee the repayment of a security’s principal and interest at maturity. The security will typically carry the rating of the institution which provides the guaranty rather than that of the security’s issuer.
illiquid securities  Securities are generally considered illiquid if they cannot be disposed of promptly (typically within seven days) and in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which a fund has valued the instruments.
interest  Payments to holders of debt securities as compensation for loaning a security’s principal to the issuer.
Letter of Credit (LOC)  An instrument issued by a financial institution which unconditionally guarantees the repayment of principal and interest at maturity and upon demand. Many securities known as variable-rate demand obligations (VRDOs) carry LOCs to provide a source of payment to allow the holder of the security to demand repayment after a pre-defined number of days, typically daily or weekly.
Liquidity (LIQ)  A liquidity facility is issued by a financial institution to improve the ability of the issuer of the security to meet demands for payment. Many securities known as variable-rate demand obligations (VRDOs) carry liquidity facilities to provide a source of payment to allow the holder of the security to demand repayment after a pre-defined number of days, typically daily or weekly. The issuer of the security must maintain strong long-term ratings and credit characteristics while the liquidity facility is in effect. If the issuer fails to meet certain predetermined financial conditions, the financial institution may terminate its obligation without notice.
liquidity-enhanced security  The security’s structure includes a liquidity arrangement that requires an entity other than the issuer (such as a large financial institution) to provide funds to pay a tender under most circumstances. Liquidity enhancements are often used on variable-rate securities where the portfolio manager has an option to tender the securities for repayment within a specified time period (usually one day or one week) at any time prior to their final maturity.
maturity  The date a debt security is scheduled to be “retired” and its principal amount repaid. The Maturity of an investment will generally reflect the security’s final maturity date unless the security’s structure includes a maturity-shortening provision such as an interest rate reset,

demand feature or put feature (the “Effective Maturity Date”). For those securities with a maturity-shortening provision, including variable-rate demand securities, the Maturity is determined by using the Effective Maturity Date, as permitted by Rule 2a-7.
money market securities  High-quality, short-term debt securities that may be issued by states and local governments and their agencies. Money market securities must have an effective maturity of no longer than 397 days. Examples include bond and tax anticipation notes, commercial paper, variable-rate demand obligations and tender option bonds.
municipal securities  Debt securities issued by a state, its counties, municipalities, authorities and other subdivisions, or the territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia, including their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and corporations. These securities may be issued to obtain money for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, public utilities, schools, streets, and water and sewer works.
net asset value per share (NAV)  The value of one share of a mutual fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets, subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. Certain money funds seek to maintain a steady NAV of $1.00.
outstanding shares, shares outstanding  When speaking of a company or mutual fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.
restricted securities  Securities that are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. These securities are often purchased in private placement transactions.
revenue anticipation notes  Obligations that are issued in expectation of the receipt of revenue, such as income taxes, property taxes, etc.
taxable equivalent yield  The yield an investor would need to get from a taxable investment in order to match the yield paid by a given tax-exempt investment, once the effect of all applicable taxes is taken into account. For example, if your tax rate were 25%, a tax-exempt investment paying 4.5% would have a taxable equivalent yield for you of 6.0% (4.5% ÷ [1 – 0.25%] = 6.0%).
tax anticipation notes  Notes that typically are sold to finance the cash flow needs of municipalities in anticipation of the receipt of taxes on a future date.
tender option bond  A security which is created by a financial institution by combining a long-term municipal bond with a liquidity facility which converts the long-term bond into a money-market eligible security. Tender option bonds are issued as section 144A securities.
total return  The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.
variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs)  Securities that have long maturities but which, because of their structure, require them to repay principal plus accrued interest within a specified timeframe (usually one or seven days) upon the demand of the bond holder. Depending on their structure, the repayment may be made by the bond issuer or by a financial institution, such as a highly rated bank.
variable rate demand preferred shares (VRDP)  Variable rate demand securities that are issued by single state or national closed-end municipal bond funds, which, in turn, invest primarily in portfolios of tax-exempt municipal bonds. It is anticipated that the interest on VRDPs will be exempt from federal income tax. These securities are considered “municipal money market securities” for purposes of the fund’s investment policy as stated in the prospectus.
weighted average maturity (WAM)  For money market mutual funds as per rule 2a-7, the maturity date or Effective Maturity Date (see definition of maturity) of all the debt securities in its portfolio, or the date the interest rate on those securities is reset, or the date those securities can be redeemed through demand, calculated as a weighted average. As a rule, the longer a fund’s weighted average maturity, the greater its interest rate risk. Money funds are required to maintain a weighted average maturity of no more than 60 days.
yield  The income paid out by an investment, expressed as a percentage of the investment’s market value.

Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund
From the President

Jonathan de St. Paer
President of Charles Schwab
Investment Management, Inc.
and the fund covered
in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
The COVID-19 pandemic broadly reshaped life during 2020—in ways that are likely to reverberate well into the new year and remind us to expect the unexpected. Equity and bond markets experienced rarely seen levels of turmoil and volatility, while money market funds saw yields drop to historic lows in the face of declining interest rates. In March 2020, as the scale of the pandemic became apparent and broad swaths of the U.S. economy began to shut down, U.S. Treasuries of all maturities fell to under 1% for the first time, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield falling to an all-time low in mid-March. By the end of March, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) lowered its policy rate to near zero. As interest rates fell and demand for safe investment harbors grew, yields on U.S. Treasury securities remained historically low. At the same time, demand for municipal money market securities declined, creating spikes in yields and reductions in liquidity. The Fed moved quickly to support money market funds in March, making several programs available that provided liquidity to the market and maintaining credit spreads at more normalized levels.
Although underlying market factors continued to improve throughout the remainder of 2020, money market yields remained near historical lows. Nevertheless, investors continued to rely on money market funds as vehicles for capital preservation and daily liquidity. At Charles Schwab Investment Management, our focus on liquidity and stability enabled us to meet our clients’ ongoing needs. We also continue to monitor yields of the Schwab Money Funds and waive fees as necessary to maintain a yield of zero or greater. Additionally, on September 24, 2020, we lowered expenses on many Schwab Money Funds share classes, simplifying our management fee structure and reducing the complexity of our operating expense ratios. As we embark on a new year, we continue to take great pride in the trust that our investors place in us and are committed to serving our clients through this extraordinarily challenging time.
Thank you for investing with Charles Schwab Investment Management, and for trusting us to help you achieve your financial goals. For more information about the Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund, please continue reading this report. In addition, you can find further details about this fund by visiting our website at www.schwabfunds.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-877-824-5615.
Sincerely,
Additionally, on September 24, 2020, we lowered expenses on many Schwab Money Funds share classes, simplifying our management fee structure and reducing the complexity of our operating expense ratios.

Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund

The Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund (the fund) seeks current income consistent with stability of capital and liquidity. To pursue its goal, the fund invests in U.S. government securities such as U.S. Treasury bills and notes, other obligations that are issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities, repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully by cash and/or U.S. government securities, and obligations that are issued by private issuers that are guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities. The fund will invest at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, U.S. government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully by cash and/or U.S. government securities; under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund’s net assets (including, for this purpose, any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested solely in U.S. government securities including repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully by U.S. government securities (excluding cash). For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategy, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
Market Highlights. Over the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2020, demand for government money market funds rose. Beginning in late February, the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the global economy, prompting a flight to quality, triggering dramatic social distancing restrictions, shuttering businesses, and causing U.S. stocks to fall steeply. The short-term U.S. Treasury yield curve became increasingly inverted in January and February 2020, as the impact of the spreading COVID-19 virus became more severe and the odds of a near-term U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut increased.
By the end of March, governments and central banks around the world had begun passing extensive emergency rescue and fiscal stimulus measures in an effort to support their economies. The Fed implemented two emergency rate cuts in March, resulting in a target range for the federal funds rate of 0.00% to 0.25%, where it remained through the end of the reporting period. Low interest rates, combined with record inflows into government money market funds from investors seeking safety, pushed yields on government and U.S. Treasury securities down to historic lows. By April, as yields remained low, demand for government money market funds began to recede as investors began shifting back into prime money market funds in search of incremental sources of income.
Outside the U.S., major central banks reduced their policy rates or maintained their already low—and for some international central banks, negative—interest rates. The European Central Bank held its policy rate at 0.00%, unchanged since March 2016, and launched a new asset purchase program to counter the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bank of Japan upheld its short-term interest rate target of -0.1%, also unchanged since 2016, and increased the annual pace of its purchases of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other assets. The Bank of England lowered its key official bank rate from 0.75% to 0.10% in two emergency rate cuts in March.
Performance, Positioning, and Strategies. Throughout the reporting period, the fund’s investment adviser remained focused on ensuring liquidity and stability of capital as market conditions evolved, and on continuing a rigorous credit review process and ongoing monitoring for all issuers and regions in which the fund invests. The fund’s weighted average maturity (WAM) varied throughout the reporting period as a result of pandemic-driven shocks to the economy and the Fed’s extraordinary response, lengthening over the second half of the year in anticipation of the slowdown in the issuance of government securities and uncertainty regarding future issuance. The fund’s WAM began the reporting period at 37 days, reached a low of 29 days in August and a high of 49 days in December, before ending the reporting period at 46 days.

You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.
1 Please see prospectus for further detail and eligibility requirements.
2 The Seven-Day Yield (with waivers) is the average income paid out over the previous seven days assuming interest income is not reinvested and it reflects the effect of any applicable waivers. Absent such waivers, the fund’s yield would have been lower. The Seven-Day Yield (without waivers) is the yield without the effect of any applicable waivers. The Seven-Day Effective Yield is the yield with waivers assuming that all interest income is reinvested in additional shares of the fund. For additional details, see financial note 4.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including 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 the fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning July 1, 2020 and held through December 31, 2020.
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 the fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in 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. Therefore, the hypothetical return lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund
Financial Notes

1. Business Structure of the Fund:
Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund is a series of The Charles Schwab Family of Funds (the trust), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is 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 as of the end of the period, including the fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:
THE CHARLES SCHWAB FAMILY OF FUNDS (ORGANIZED OCTOBER 20, 1989)
Schwab Government Money Fund Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund
Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund Schwab Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund
Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund® Schwab California Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund Schwab New York Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund offers one share class. Shares are bought and sold at closing net asset value per share (NAV), which is the price for all outstanding shares of a fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.
The fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, the 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 fund uses in its preparation of financial statements. The fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
(a) Security Valuation:
Under procedures approved by the Board, the investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow the fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
Securities in the fund are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) as permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. In the event that security valuations do not approximate fair value, securities may be fair valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the fund pursuant to the valuation procedures.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the fund determines that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•   Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities.
19

Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund
Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
•   Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. Securities held by stable NAV money funds operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act are valued at amortized cost which approximates current fair value and are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.
•   Level 3significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the fund uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the fund in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the fund in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the fund due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the fund’s results of operations.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings, as of December 31, 2020, all of the fund’s investments were classified as Level 2.
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
Repurchase Agreements: In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a security from another party (the counterparty), usually a financial institution, with the agreement that it be sold back in the future. Repurchase agreements subject a fund to counterparty risk, meaning that the fund could lose money if the other party fails to perform under the terms of the agreement. The fund mitigates this risk by ensuring that a fund’s repurchase agreements are collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government securities. All collateral is held by the fund’s custodian (or, with multi-party agreements, the agent’s bank) and is monitored daily to ensure that its fair value is at least equal to the maturity amount under the agreement. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed or limited and the value of the collateral may decline. Investments in repurchase agreements are also based on a review of the credit quality of the repurchase agreement counterparty.
As of December 31, 2020, the fund had investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $566,357,536 as disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at period end.
Delayed-Delivery Transactions: The fund may buy securities at a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. The fund will assume the rights and risks of ownership at the time of purchase, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. Typically, no interest will accrue to the fund until the security is delivered. The fund will earmark or segregate appropriate liquid assets to cover its delayed-delivery purchase obligations, if any.
(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.
(d) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. If the fund buys a debt security at a discount (less than face value) or a premium (more than face value), it amortizes premiums and accretes discounts from the purchase settlement 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. Certain securities may be callable (meaning that the issuer has the option to pay it off before its maturity date). The fund amortizes the premium and accretes the discount on each callable security to the security’s maturity date, except when the purchase price is higher than the call price at the security’s call date (in which case the premium is amortized to the call date).

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
(e) Expenses:
Expenses that are specific to the fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to more than one fund in the trusts generally are allocated among those funds in proportion to their average daily net assets.
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
The fund declares distributions from net investment income, if any, every day it is open for business. These distributions, which are substantially equal to the fund’s net investment income for that day, are paid out to shareholders once a month. The fund makes distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
(g) Accounting Estimates:
The accounting policies described in this report conform to GAAP. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates and these differences may be material.
(h) Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, the fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders each year. As long as the fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(i) Indemnification:
Under the fund’s organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business the fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund. However, based on experience, the fund expects the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
(j) Recent Accounting Standards:
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848)” (ASU 2020-04), which provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered based reference rates at the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. At this time, management believes the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will not have a material impact to the financial statements.

    
3. Risk Factors:
Market Risk. Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets may be impacted by economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, including economic sanctions and other government actions. In addition, the occurrence of global events, such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters, and epidemics may also negatively affect the financial markets. These events could reduce consumer demand or economic output; result in market closures, low or negative interest rates, travel restrictions or quarantines; and significantly adversely impact the economy. Governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have in the past often responded to serious economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes which could have an unexpected impact on financial markets and the fund’s investments. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.
Investment Risk. You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.

Financial Notes (continued)

3. Risk Factors (continued):
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, the fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, the fund’s yield (and total return) also could be low or even negative. In addition, the fund may be unable to pay expenses out of fund assets or maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Also, a change in a central bank’s monetary policy or economic conditions may result in a change in interest rates, which could have sudden and unpredictable effects on the markets. Volatility in the market may decrease liquidity in the money market securities markets, making it more difficult for the fund to sell its money market investments at a time when the investment adviser might wish to sell such investments. Decreased market liquidity also may make it more difficult to value some or all of the fund’s money market securities holdings.
Stable Net Asset Value Risk. If the fund or another money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value (or such perception exists in the market place), the fund could experience increased redemptions, which may adversely impact the fund’s share price. The fund is permitted, among other things, to reduce or withhold any income and/or gains generated from its portfolio to maintain a stable $1.00 share price.
Repurchase Agreements Risk. When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, the fund is exposed to the risk that the other party (i.e., the counterparty) will not fulfill its contractual obligation. In a repurchase agreement, there exists the risk that, when the fund buys a security from a counterparty that agrees to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price (usually higher) and time, the counterparty will not repurchase the security.
Credit Risk. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty could cause the fund to lose money or underperform. The fund could lose money if, due to a decline in credit quality, the issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty fails to make, or is perceived as being unable or unwilling to make, timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Even though the fund’s investments in repurchase agreements are collateralized at all times, there is some risk to the fund if the other party should default on its obligations and the fund is delayed or prevented from recovering or disposing of the collateral. The credit quality of the fund’s portfolio holdings can change rapidly in certain market environments and any downgrade or default on the part of a single portfolio investment could cause the fund’s share price or yield to fall.
Certain U.S. government securities that the fund invests in are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, which means they are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Although maintained in conservatorship by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) since September 2008, the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) maintain only lines of credit with the U.S. Treasury. Additionally, the FHFA recently announced plans to begin removing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from conservatorship. The Federal Home Loan Banks maintain limited access to credit lines from the U.S. Treasury. Other securities, such as obligations issued by the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation, are supported solely by the credit of the issuer. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government will provide financial support to securities of its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so under law. Also, any government guarantees on securities the fund owns do not extend to the shares of the fund itself.
Management Risk. Any actively managed mutual fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser will select investments or allocate assets in a manner that could cause the fund to underperform or otherwise not meet its investment objective. The fund’s investment adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results. The investment adviser’s maturity decisions will also affect the fund’s yield, and potentially could affect its share price. To the extent that the investment adviser anticipates interest rate trends imprecisely, the fund’s yield at times could lag the yields of other money market funds.
Redemption Risk. The fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. Redemptions by a few large investors in the fund may have a significant adverse effect on the fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. In the event any money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value, other money market funds, including the fund, could face a market-wide risk of increased redemption pressures, potentially jeopardizing the stability of their $1.00 share prices.
Money Market Fund Risk. The fund is not designed to offer capital appreciation. In exchange for their emphasis on stability and liquidity, money market investments may offer lower long-term performance than stock or bond investments.
Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the fund.

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:
Investment Adviser
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM or the investment adviser), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as the fund’s investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement between CSIM and the trust.
For its advisory and administrative services to the fund, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.19% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Prior to September 24, 2020, the advisory and administrative service fee of the fund was as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets  
First $1 billion 0.35%
More than $1 billion but not exceeding $10 billion 0.32%
More than $10 billion but not exceeding $20 billion 0.30%
More than $20 billion but not exceeding $40 billion 0.27%
Over $40 billion 0.25%
For the period ended December 31, 2020, the aggregate advisory fee paid to CSIM by the fund was 0.29%, as a percentage of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Contractual Expense Limitation
CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the fund, for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the fund, which may only be amended or terminated with the approval of the Board, to limit the total annual fund operating expenses charged, excluding interest, taxes, and certain non-routine expenses (expense limitation) to 0.19%.
During the period ended December 31, 2020, the fund waived a total of $3,075,924 in expenses: $2,812,708 was waived in accordance with the contractual expense limitation noted above and $263,216 was waived voluntarily. See Voluntary Yield Waiver/Reimbursement note below.
Voluntary Yield Waiver/Reimbursement
CSIM and its affiliates may waive and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a positive net yield for the fund.
Interfund Transactions
The fund may engage in transactions with certain other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers Section) in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board under Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. When one fund is seeking to sell a security that another is seeking to buy, an interfund transaction can allow both funds to benefit by reducing transaction costs. This practice is limited to funds that share the same investment adviser, trustees and/or officers. For the period ended December 31, 2020, the fund’s total aggregate security transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex was $75,860,975 and includes realized gains (losses) of $0.
Interfund Borrowing and Lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review by the Board. The fund had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.

    
5. Board of Trustees:
The Board may include people who are officers and/or directors of CSIM or its affiliates. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The trust did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees, but it did pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as noted on the fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

6. Borrowing from Banks:
During the period, the fund was a participant with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, syndicated, committed $750 million line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), which matured on October 1, 2020. On October 1, 2020, the Syndicated Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with a line of credit of $850 million, maturing on September 30, 2021. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to the interest charged on any borrowings by a fund, the fund paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the fund’s proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility.
During the period, the fund was a participant with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $500 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street Bank and Trust Company, which was scheduled to mature on November 27, 2020. However, on October 1, 2020, the Uncommitted Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with a line of credit of $400 million, maturing on September 30, 2021. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, the fund pays interest on the amount it borrows. There were no borrowings from either line of credit during the period.
The fund also has access to custodian overdraft facilities. The fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on the fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

    
7. Federal Income Taxes:
As of December 31, 2020, the tax basis cost of the fund’s investments was $1,828,622,332.
As of December 31, 2020, the fund had no undistributed earnings on a tax basis.
Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2020, the fund had no capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net capital gains.
The tax basis components of distributions paid during the current and prior fiscal years were as follows:
Current fiscal year end distributions  
Ordinary income $9,004,851
Prior fiscal year end distributions  
Ordinary income $35,294,916
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. The fund may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The adjustments will have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
As of December 31, 2020, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and for state purposes, four years from the date of filing) as applicable to the fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

    
8. Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm:
On June 8, 2020, the Audit, Compliance and Valuation Committee of the Board approved, and on June 9, 2020, the Board approved, Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered accounting firm of the Schwab Funds Complex for fiscal periods ending after June 8, 2020.
On June 8, 2020, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Prior Auditor”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Schwab Funds Complex. The Prior Auditor’s reports on the financial statements of the fund for the past two fiscal years, the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the last two fiscal year-ends and through June 8, 2020, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial

Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of The Charles Schwab Family of Funds and Shareholders of Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, of Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting The Charles Schwab Family of Funds, as of December 31, 2020, the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from May 17, 2016 to December 31, 2016, were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated February 18, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on such statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Deloitte & Touche LLP

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the Schwab Funds Complex since 2020.

Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund
Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that a fund’s investment advisory agreement, including any amendments thereto, must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the Independent Trustees), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
At a meeting held on September 22, 2020 (the Meeting), the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information relating to a proposed amendment to the investment advisory agreement (the Amendment) between The Charles Schwab Family of Funds (the Trust) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund (the Fund), to reflect a reduction in
the advisory fee paid by the Fund to CSIM as compensation for CSIM’s services rendered to the Fund. The Board reviewed materials provided by CSIM relating to these changes, including a representation by CSIM that the changes will not result in any reduction in the nature and level of services provided to the Fund by CSIM. The Board also considered the extensive information that the Board reviewed and the conclusions it reached at its May and June 2020 meetings (the Annual Meetings) in connection with its annual consideration and approval of the continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described at the Meeting and the Annual Meetings, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Amendment with respect to the Fund effective September 24, 2020 and concluded that the compensation payable by the Fund to CSIM under the Agreement is fair and reasonable in light of the services CSIM renders to (and the expenses it bears relating to) the Fund and such other matters as the Trustees considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

144A securities  These securities may be sold only to qualified institutional buyers under Securities Act Rule 144A.
agency discount notes  Notes issued by federal agencies—known as Government Sponsored Enterprises, or GSEs—at a discount to their value at maturity. An agency discount note is a short-term investment offering a high degree of credit quality.
asset-backed commercial paper  A short-term investment that is typically issued by a bank or other financial institution. The notes represent an interest in financial assets such as trade receivables, credit card receivables, auto receivables, etc. and are generally used for the short-term financing needs of companies. Asset-backed commercial paper is subject to credit risk.
capital gain, capital loss  The difference between the amount paid for an investment and its value at a later time. If the investment has been sold, the capital gain or loss is considered a realized gain or loss. If the investment is still held, the gain or loss is still “on paper” and is considered unrealized.
collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO)  A type of security that is collateralized by pools of mortgages backed by government agencies or private issuers (non-agency). The streams of principal and interest payments on the mortgages are distributed to the different classes of CMO interests, known as tranches. Each tranche may have different principal balances, coupon rates, prepayment risks, and maturity dates.
commercial paper  Promissory notes issued by banks, corporations and other entities to finance short-term credit needs. These securities generally are structured on a discounted basis but sometimes may be interest-bearing notes. Commercial paper, which may be unsecured, is subject to credit risk.
corporate note  An unsecured debt security issued by a corporation that is subject to the credit risk of the issuer.
credit-enhanced securities  Securities that are backed by the credit of an entity other than the issuer (such as a financial institution). Credit enhancements, which can equal up to 100% of the security’s value, are designed to help lower the risk of default on a security and may also make the security more liquid.
credit quality  The capacity of an issuer to make its interest and principal payments. Federal regulations strictly regulate the credit quality of the securities a money market fund can buy.
credit ratings  Debt issuers, including corporations, states and municipalities, may arrange with a recognized independent rating organization, such as Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, Inc., Moody’s Investor Service, and DBRS, to rate their creditworthiness and/or the creditworthiness of their debt issues. For example, an issuer may obtain a long-term rating within the investment grade rating category, which is, from high to low, AAA, AA, A and BBB for Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, and DBRS; and Aaa, Aa, A and Baa for Moody’s.
credit risk  The risk that a debt issuer may be unable to pay interest or repay principal to its debt holders.
dollar-weighted average maturity  See weighted average maturity.
effective yield  A measurement of a fund’s yield that assumes that all interest income is reinvested in additional shares of the fund.
exchange-traded fund (ETF)  An investment fund that tracks an index, a commodity or a basket of assets, and trades on an exchange.
expense ratio  The amount that is taken from a mutual fund’s assets each year to cover the fund’s operating expenses. An expense ratio of 0.50% means that a fund’s expenses amount to half of one percent of its average net assets a year.
face value  The value of a bond, note, mortgage or other security as given on the certificate or instrument. Face value is also referred to as par value or nominal value.
illiquid securities  Securities are generally considered illiquid if they cannot be disposed of promptly (typically within seven days) and in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which a fund has valued the instruments.
interest  Payments to holders of debt securities as compensation for loaning a security’s principal to the issuer.
liquidity-enhanced security  The security’s structure includes a liquidity arrangement that requires an entity other than the issuer (such as a large financial institution) to provide funds to pay a tender under most circumstances. Liquidity enhancements are often used on variable-rate securities where the portfolio manager has an option to tender the securities for repayment within a specified time period (usually one day or one week) at any time prior to their final maturity.
maturity  The date a debt security is scheduled to be “retired” and its principal amount repaid. The Maturity of an investment will generally reflect the security’s final maturity date unless the security’s structure includes a maturity-shortening provision such as an interest rate reset, demand feature or put feature (the “Effective Maturity Date”). For those securities with a maturity-shortening provision, including variable-rate demand securities, the Maturity is determined by using the Effective Maturity Date, as permitted by Rule 2a-7.
municipal securities  Debt securities issued by a state, its counties, municipalities, authorities and other subdivisions, or the territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia, including their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and corporations. These securities may be issued to obtain money for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, public utilities, schools, streets, and water and sewer works.
net asset value per share (NAV)  The value of one share of a mutual fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets, subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. Certain money funds seek to maintain a steady NAV of $1.00.
outstanding shares, shares outstanding  When speaking of a company or mutual fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.
repurchase agreement  (also known as a “repo”) The sale of a security combined with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase it at a predetermined date and price.
restricted securities  Securities that are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. These securities are often purchased in private placement transactions.
total return  The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.

variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs)  Securities that have long maturities but which, because of their structure, require them to repay principal plus accrued interest within a specified timeframe (usually one or seven days) upon the demand of the bond holder. Depending on their structure, the repayment may be made by the bond issuer or by a financial institution, such as a highly rated bank.
weighted average maturity (WAM)  For money market mutual funds as per rule 2a-7, the maturity date or Effective Maturity Date (see definition of maturity) of all the debt securities in its portfolio, or the date the interest rate on those securities is reset, or the date those
securities can be redeemed through demand, calculated as a weighted average. As a rule, the longer a fund’s weighted average maturity, the greater its interest rate risk. Money funds are required to maintain a weighted average maturity of no more than 60 days.
yield  The income paid out by an investment, expressed as a percentage of the investment’s market value.

Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund
From the President

Jonathan de St. Paer
President of Charles Schwab
Investment Management, Inc.
and the fund covered
in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
The COVID-19 pandemic broadly reshaped life during 2020—in ways that are likely to reverberate well into the new year and remind us to expect the unexpected. Equity and bond markets experienced rarely seen levels of turmoil and volatility, while money market funds saw yields drop to historic lows in the face of declining interest rates. In March 2020, as the scale of the pandemic became apparent and broad swaths of the U.S. economy began to shut down, U.S. Treasuries of all maturities fell to under 1% for the first time, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield falling to an all-time low in mid-March. By the end of March, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) lowered its policy rate to near zero. As interest rates fell and demand for safe investment harbors grew, yields on U.S. Treasury securities remained historically low. At the same time, demand for municipal money market securities declined, creating spikes in yields and reductions in liquidity. The Fed moved quickly to support money market funds in March, making several programs available that provided liquidity to the market and maintaining credit spreads at more normalized levels.
Although underlying market factors continued to improve throughout the remainder of 2020, money market yields remained near historical lows. Nevertheless, investors continued to rely on money market funds as vehicles for capital preservation and daily liquidity. At Charles Schwab Investment Management, our focus on liquidity and stability enabled us to meet our clients’ ongoing needs. We also continue to monitor yields of the Schwab Money Funds and waive fees as necessary to maintain a yield of zero or greater. Additionally, on September 24, 2020, we lowered expenses on many Schwab Money Funds share classes, simplifying our management fee structure and reducing the complexity of our operating expense ratios. As we embark on a new year, we continue to take great pride in the trust that our investors place in us and are committed to serving our clients through this extraordinarily challenging time.
Thank you for investing with Charles Schwab Investment Management, and for trusting us to help you achieve your financial goals. For more information about the Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund, please continue reading this report. In addition, you can find further details about this fund by visiting our website at www.schwabfunds.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-877-824-5615.
Sincerely,
Additionally, on September 24, 2020, we lowered expenses on many Schwab Money Funds share classes, simplifying our management fee structure and reducing the complexity of our operating expense ratios.

Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund

The Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund (the fund) seeks current income consistent with stability of capital and liquidity. To pursue its goal, the fund invests in high-quality, short-term money market investments issued by U.S. and foreign issuers. Examples of these securities include commercial paper, promissory notes, certificates of deposit and time deposits, variable- and floating-rate debt securities, bank notes and bankers’ acceptances, repurchase agreements, and obligations that are issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities. Unlike a traditional stable share price money market fund, the fund will not use the amortized cost method of valuation or round the per share net asset value (NAV) to the nearest whole cent and does not seek to maintain a stable share price. As a result, the fund’s share price, which is its NAV, will vary and reflect the effects of unrealized appreciation and depreciation and realized losses and gains. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategy, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
Market Highlights. Over the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2020, demand for government money market funds rose, while demand for prime and municipal market funds fell. Beginning in late February, the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the global economy, prompting a flight to quality, triggering dramatic social distancing restrictions, shuttering businesses, and causing U.S. stocks to fall steeply. By the end of March, governments and central banks around the world had begun passing extensive emergency rescue and fiscal stimulus measures in an effort to support their economies. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) implemented two emergency rate cuts in March, resulting in a target range for the federal funds rate of 0.00% to 0.25%, where it remained through the end of the reporting period.
Low interest rates, combined with record inflows into government money market funds from investors seeking safety, pushed yields on government and U.S. Treasury securities down to historic lows, while redemptions in prime money market funds increased. The Fed responded with a variety of measures designed to boost liquidity in prime and municipal money markets, including the creation of the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility, which provided prime and municipal money market funds the opportunity to sell portfolio holdings, if needed. This helped to increase fund liquidity to meet redemptions and maintain required liquidity levels. By April, as yields remained low, demand for government money market funds began to recede as investors began shifting back into prime money market funds in search of incremental sources of income.
Outside the U.S., major central banks reduced their policy rates or maintained their already low—and for some international central banks, negative—interest rates. The European Central Bank held its policy rate at 0.00%, unchanged since March 2016, and launched a new asset purchase program to counter the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bank of Japan upheld its short-term interest rate target of -0.1%, also unchanged since 2016, and increased the annual pace of its purchases of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other assets. The Bank of England lowered its key official bank rate from 0.75% to 0.10% in two emergency rate cuts in March.
Performance, Positioning, and Strategies. Throughout the reporting period, the fund’s investment adviser remained focused on ensuring liquidity and stability of capital as market conditions evolved, and on continuing a rigorous credit review process and ongoing monitoring for all issuers and regions in which the fund invests. The fund’s weighted average maturity (WAM) increased slightly, beginning the reporting period at 35 days and ending it at 37 days despite experiencing some variation throughout the reporting period as a result of pandemic-driven shocks to the economy and the Fed’s extraordinary response—reaching a low of 18 days in April and a high of 50 days in October.

You could lose money by investing in the fund. Because the share price of the fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them. The fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors.

2 The Seven-Day Yield (with waivers) is the average income paid out over the previous seven days assuming interest income is not reinvested and it reflects the effect of any applicable waivers. Absent such waivers, the fund’s yield would have been lower. The Seven-Day Yield (without waivers) is the yield without the effect of any applicable waivers. The Seven-Day Effective Yield is the yield with waivers assuming that all interest income is reinvested in additional shares of the fund. For additional details, see financial note 4.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
Examples for a $1,000 Investment
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including 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 the fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning July 1, 2020 and held through December 31, 2020.
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 the fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in 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. Therefore, the hypothetical return lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund
Portfolio Holdings as of December 31, 2020

This section shows all the securities in the fund’s portfolio and their values as of the report date.
The fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) monthly on Form N-MFP, which is available immediately upon filing. The fund’s Form N-MFP is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The fund also makes available its complete schedule of portfolio holdings 5 business days after month end on the fund’s website at www.schwabfunds.com/schwabfunds_prospectus.
For fixed-rate obligations and repurchase agreements, the rate shown is the coupon rate (the rate established when the obligation was issued) and if the coupon rate is not available, the effective yield at the time of purchase is shown. For variable-rate obligations, the rate shown is the interest rate as of the report date based on each security’s rate reset date. The reference rate and spread used is shown parenthetically in the security description, if available; if not, the reference rate is described in a footnote. The date shown in the maturity date column below is either the date on which the principal amount must be paid or the date payment must be made pursuant to a demand feature. If the security’s structure includes one of a number of maturity-shortening provisions set forth in Rule 2a-7, such as an interest rate reset, demand feature or put feature, the effective maturity date is also disclosed. If the effective maturity and maturity date are the same, the date will only appear in the maturity date column.

Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund
Financial Notes

1. Business Structure of the Fund:
Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund is a series of The Charles Schwab Family of Funds (the trust), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is 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 as of the end of the period, including the fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:
THE CHARLES SCHWAB FAMILY OF FUNDS (ORGANIZED OCTOBER 20, 1989)
Schwab Government Money Fund Schwab Retirement Government Money Fund
Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund Schwab Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund Schwab AMT Tax-Free Money Fund
Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund® Schwab California Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund Schwab New York Municipal Money Fund
Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund currently offers one class of shares, Ultra Shares. Shares are bought and sold at closing net asset value per share (NAV), which is the price for all outstanding shares of a fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.
The fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, the 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 fund uses in its preparation of financial statements. The fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
(a) Security Valuation:
Under procedures approved by the Board, the investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow the fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
The fund values the securities in its portfolio every business day. The fund uses the following policies to value various types of securities:
•   Short-term investments: Money market investments are generally valued using an evaluated price at the mid-point of the bid/ask spread provided by an approved, independent pricing service (mid-price). To determine the evaluated mid-price, a pricing service may use a variety of techniques and inputs. Techniques may include, but are not limited to, discounted cash flow models or yield curve models that establish a price based on yields of comparable bonds along a range of maturities. Inputs differ by valuation approach and technique, as appropriate, and examples of inputs may include, but are not limited to, interest rates, market conditions, comparable investments, market trades, projected cash flows, credit reviews and issuer news.
•   Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value the fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, the fund may fair value a security when it is de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; or when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. The fund makes fair value determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that the fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security. The Board convenes on a regular basis to review fair value determinations made by the fund pursuant to the valuation procedures.

Financial Notes (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
•   Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): Securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally valued at an evaluated price; however, such securities may be valued at their amortized cost if it approximates the security’s fair value.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the fund determines that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•   Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities.
•   Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations.
•   Level 3significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the fund uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the fund in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the fund in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the fund due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the fund’s results of operations.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings, as of December 31, 2020, all of the fund’s investments were classified as Level 2.
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
Repurchase Agreements: In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a security from another party (the counterparty), usually a financial institution, with the agreement that it be sold back in the future. Repurchase agreements subject a fund to counterparty risk, meaning that the fund could lose money if the other party fails to perform under the terms of the agreement. The fund mitigates this risk by ensuring that a fund’s repurchase agreements are collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government securities, fixed income securities, equity securities or other types of securities. These risks are magnified to the extent that a repurchase agreement is secured by collateral other than cash and U.S. government securities, such as debt securities, equity securities and high yield securities that are rated below investment grade. All collateral is held by the fund’s custodian (or, with multi-party agreements, the agent’s bank) and is monitored daily to ensure that its fair value is at least equal to the maturity amount under the agreement. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed or limited and the value of the collateral may decline. Investments in repurchase agreements are also based on a review of the credit quality of the repurchase agreement counterparty.
As of December 31, 2020, the fund had investments in repurchase agreements with a gross value of $958,672,157 as disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at period end.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
Delayed-Delivery Transactions: The fund may buy securities at a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. The fund will assume the rights and risks of ownership at the time of purchase, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. Typically, no interest will accrue to the fund until the security is delivered. The fund will earmark or segregate appropriate liquid assets to cover its delayed-delivery purchase obligations, if any.
(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.
(d) Investment Income:
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. If the fund buys a debt security at a discount (less than face value) or a premium (more than face value), it amortizes premiums and accretes discounts from the purchase settlement 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. Certain securities may be callable (meaning that the issuer has the option to pay it off before its maturity date). The fund amortizes the premium and accretes the discount on each callable security to the security’s maturity date, except when the purchase price is higher than the call price at the security’s call date (in which case the premium is amortized to the call date).
(e) Expenses:
Expenses that are specific to the fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to more than one fund in the trusts generally are allocated among those funds in proportion to their average daily net assets.
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
The fund declares distributions from net investment income, if any, every day it is open for business. These distributions, which are substantially equal to the fund’s net investment income for that day, are paid out to shareholders once a month. The fund makes distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
(g) Accounting Estimates:
The accounting policies described in this report conform to GAAP. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates and these differences may be material.
(h) Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, the fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders each year. As long as the fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
(i) Indemnification:
Under the fund’s organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business the fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund. However, based on experience, the fund expects the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.
(j) Recent Accounting Standards:
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848)” (ASU 2020-04), which provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered based reference rates at the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. At this time, management believes the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will not have a material impact to the financial statements.

3. Risk Factors:
Market Risk. Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets may be impacted by economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, including economic sanctions and other government actions. In addition, the occurrence of global events, such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters, and epidemics may also negatively affect the financial markets. These events could reduce consumer demand or economic output; result in market closures, low or negative interest rates, travel restrictions or quarantines; and significantly adversely impact the economy. Governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have in the past often responded to serious economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes which could have an unexpected impact on financial markets and the fund’s investments. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.
Investment Risk. You could lose money by investing in the fund. Because the share price of the fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them. The fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, the fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, the fund’s yield (and total return) also could be low or even negative. In addition, the fund may be unable to pay expenses out of fund assets. Also, a change in a central bank’s monetary policy or economic conditions may result in a change in interest rates, which could have sudden and unpredictable effects on the markets. Volatility in the market may decrease liquidity in the money market securities markets, making it more difficult for the fund to sell its money market investments at a time when the investment adviser might wish to sell such investments. Decreased market liquidity also may make it more difficult to value some or all of the fund’s money market securities holdings.
Repurchase Agreements Risk. When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, the fund is exposed to the risk that the other party (i.e., the counterparty) will not fulfill its contractual obligation. In a repurchase agreement, there exists the risk that, when the fund buys a security from a counterparty that agrees to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price (usually higher) and time, the counterparty will not repurchase the security. These risks are magnified to the extent that a repurchase agreement is secured by collateral other than cash and government securities, such as debt securities, equity securities and high-yield securities that are rated below investment grade (also referred to as junk bonds) (Alternative Collateral). High-yield securities that are used as Alternative Collateral are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk, and are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. Alternative Collateral may be subject to greater price volatility and may be more volatile or less liquid than other types of collateral, increasing the risk that the fund will be unable to recover fully in the event of a counterparty’s default.
Credit Risk. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty could cause the fund to lose money or underperform. The fund could lose money if, due to a decline in credit quality, the issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty fails to make, or is perceived as being unable or unwilling to make, timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Even though the fund’s investments in repurchase agreements are collateralized at all times, there is some risk to the fund if the other party should default on its obligations and the fund is delayed or prevented from recovering or disposing of the collateral. The credit quality of the fund’s portfolio holdings can change rapidly in certain market environments and any downgrade or default on the part of a single portfolio investment could cause the fund’s share price or yield to fall.
Certain U.S. government securities that the fund invests in are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, which means they are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Although maintained in conservatorship by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) since September 2008, the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) maintain only lines of credit with the U.S. Treasury. Additionally, the FHFA recently announced plans to begin removing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from conservatorship. The Federal Home Loan Banks maintain limited access to credit lines from the U.S. Treasury. Other securities, such as obligations issued by the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation, are supported solely by the credit of the issuer. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government will provide financial support to securities of its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so under law. Also, any government guarantees on securities the fund owns do not extend to the shares of the fund itself.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
Credit and Liquidity Enhancements Risk. The fund may invest in securities with credit or liquidity enhancements provided by a bank or other financial institution, and the existence and nature of such enhancements may be a significant factor in the investment adviser’s decision-making process. Generally, these enhancements are employed by the issuers of the securities to reduce credit risk and provide enhanced or back-up liquidity for a purchaser, such as the fund. Adverse developments affecting these banks and financial institutions could therefore have a negative effect on the value of the fund’s holdings. For example, a rating agency downgrade of a credit or liquidity enhancement provider may adversely affect the value of securities held by the fund. Any decline in the value of the securities held by the fund could cause the fund’s share price or yield to fall. To the extent that a portion of the fund’s underlying investments are enhanced by the same bank or financial institution, these risks may be increased.
Foreign Investment Risk. Although the fund may invest only in U.S. dollar-denominated securities, the fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers or securities with credit or liquidity enhancements provided by foreign entities may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers or securities with credit or liquidity enhancements provided by U.S. entities. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may negatively impact the value or liquidity of the fund’s investments, and could impair the fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. In addition, sovereign risk, or the risk that a government may become unwilling or unable to meet its loan obligations or guarantees, could increase the credit risk of financial institutions connected to that particular country.
Management Risk. Any actively managed mutual fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser will select investments or allocate assets in a manner that could cause the fund to underperform or otherwise not meet its investment objective. The fund’s investment adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results. The investment adviser’s maturity decisions will also affect the fund’s yield, and potentially could affect its share price. To the extent that the investment adviser anticipates interest rate trends imprecisely, the fund’s yield at times could lag the yields of other money market funds.
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase, sell or value, especially during stressed market conditions. The market for certain investments may become illiquid due to specific adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer or under adverse market or economic conditions independent of the issuer. In addition, limited dealer inventories of certain securities could potentially lead to decreased liquidity. In such cases, the fund, due to limitations on investments in illiquid securities and the difficulty in readily purchasing and selling such securities at favorable times or prices, may decline in value, experience lower returns and/or be unable to achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain issuer or sector. Further, transactions in illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.
Redemption Risk. The fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. This could cause the fund to be unable to pay redemption proceeds within a short period of time.
Variable NAV Risk. The fund does not maintain a stable NAV per share. The value of the fund’s shares will be calculated to four decimal places and will fluctuate with changes in the values of the fund’s portfolio securities. You could lose money by investing in the fund.
Money Market Fund Risk. The fund is not designed to offer capital appreciation. In exchange for their emphasis on stability and liquidity, money market investments may offer lower long-term performance than stock or bond investments.
Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the fund.

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
Interfund Borrowing and Lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the fund may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review by the Board. The fund had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.

    
5. Board of Trustees:
The Board may include people who are officers and/or directors of CSIM or its affiliates. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The trust did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees, but it did pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as noted on the fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

    
6. Borrowing from Banks:
During the period, the fund was a participant with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, syndicated, committed $750 million line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), which matured on October 1, 2020. On October 1, 2020, the Syndicated Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with a line of credit of $850 million, maturing on September 30, 2021. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to the interest charged on any borrowings by a fund, the fund paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the fund’s proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility.
During the period, the fund was a participant with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $500 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street Bank and Trust Company, which was scheduled to mature on November 27, 2020. However, on October 1, 2020, the Uncommitted Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with a line of credit of $400 million, maturing on September 30, 2021. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, the fund pays interest on the amount it borrows. There were no borrowings from either line of credit during the period.
The fund also has access to custodian overdraft facilities. The fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on the fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

    
7. Federal Income Taxes:
As of December 31, 2020, the tax basis cost of the fund’s investments and gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation were as follows:
Tax cost $3,403,978,104
Gross unrealized appreciation $122,218
Gross unrealized depreciation (40,930)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $81,288
As of December 31, 2020, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments $81,288
Capital loss carryforwards (218,189)
Total ($136,901)
Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2020, the fund had capital loss carryforwards of $218,189 available to offset future net capital gains.

7. Federal Income Taxes (continued):
The tax basis components of distributions paid during the current and prior fiscal years were as follows:
Current fiscal year end distributions  
Ordinary income $25,338,672
Prior fiscal year end distributions  
Ordinary income $99,718,370
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. The fund may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The adjustments will have no impact on net assets or the results of operations.
As of December 31, 2020, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and for state purposes, four years from the date of filing) as applicable to the fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

    
8. Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm:
On June 8, 2020, the Audit, Compliance and Valuation Committee of the Board approved, and on June 9, 2020, the Board approved, Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered accounting firm of the Schwab Funds Complex for fiscal periods ending after June 8, 2020.
On June 8, 2020, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Prior Auditor”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Schwab Funds Complex. The Prior Auditor’s reports on the financial statements of the fund for the past two fiscal years, the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the last two fiscal year-ends and through June 8, 2020, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its reports on the fund’s financial statements for such periods; or (2) “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

    
9. Subsequent Events:
Management has determined there are no subsequent events or transactions through the date the financial statements were issued that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.

Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of The Charles Schwab Family of Funds and Shareholders of Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, of Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting The Charles Schwab Family of Funds, as of December 31, 2020, the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from February 25, 2016 to December 31, 2016, were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated February 18, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on such statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund
Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that a fund’s investment advisory agreement, including any amendments thereto, must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the Independent Trustees), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
At a meeting held on September 22, 2020 (the Meeting), the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information relating to a proposed amendment to the investment advisory agreement (the Amendment) between The Charles Schwab Family of Funds (the Trust) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund (the Fund), to reflect a reduction in
the advisory fee paid by the Fund to CSIM as compensation for CSIM’s services rendered to the Fund. The Board reviewed materials provided by CSIM relating to these changes, including a representation by CSIM that the changes will not result in any reduction in the nature and level of services provided to the Fund by CSIM. The Board also considered the extensive information that the Board reviewed and the conclusions it reached at its May and June 2020 meetings (the Annual Meetings) in connection with its annual consideration and approval of the continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described at the Meeting and the Annual Meetings, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Amendment with respect to the Fund effective September 24, 2020 and concluded that the compensation payable by the Fund to CSIM under the Agreement is fair and reasonable in light of the services CSIM renders to (and the expenses it bears relating to) the Fund and such other matters as the Trustees considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

capital gain, capital loss  The difference between the amount paid for an investment and its value at a later time. If the investment has been sold, the capital gain or loss is considered a realized gain or loss. If the investment is still held, the gain or loss is still “on paper” and is considered unrealized.
collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO)  A type of security that is collateralized by pools of mortgages backed by government agencies or private issuers (non-agency). The streams of principal and interest payments on the mortgages are distributed to the different classes of CMO interests, known as tranches. Each tranche may have different principal balances, coupon rates, prepayment risks, and maturity dates.
commercial paper  Promissory notes issued by banks, corporations and other entities to finance short-term credit needs. These securities generally are structured on a discounted basis but sometimes may be interest-bearing notes. Commercial paper, which may be unsecured, is subject to credit risk.
corporate note  An unsecured debt security issued by a corporation that is subject to the credit risk of the issuer.
credit-enhanced securities  Securities that are backed by the credit of an entity other than the issuer (such as a financial institution). Credit enhancements, which can equal up to 100% of the security’s value, are designed to help lower the risk of default on a security and may also make the security more liquid.
credit quality  The capacity of an issuer to make its interest and principal payments. Federal regulations strictly regulate the credit quality of the securities a money market fund can buy.
credit ratings  Debt issuers, including corporations, states and municipalities, may arrange with a recognized independent rating organization, such as Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, Inc., Moody’s Investor Service, and DBRS, to rate their creditworthiness and/or the creditworthiness of their debt issues. For example, an issuer may obtain a long-term rating within the investment grade rating category, which is, from high to low, AAA, AA, A and BBB for Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, and DBRS; and Aaa, Aa, A and Baa for Moody’s.
credit risk  The risk that a debt issuer may be unable to pay interest or repay principal to its debt holders.
dollar-weighted average maturity  See weighted average maturity.
effective yield  A measurement of a fund’s yield that assumes that all interest income is reinvested in additional shares of the fund.
exchange-traded fund (ETF)  An investment fund that tracks an index, a commodity or a basket of assets, and trades on an exchange.
expense ratio  The amount that is taken from a mutual fund’s assets each year to cover the fund’s operating expenses. An expense ratio of 0.50% means that a fund’s expenses amount to half of one percent of its average net assets a year.
face value  The value of a bond, note, mortgage or other security as given on the certificate or instrument. Face value is also referred to as par value or nominal value.
illiquid securities  Securities are generally considered illiquid if they cannot be disposed of promptly (typically within seven days) and in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which a fund has valued the instruments.
interest  Payments to holders of debt securities as compensation for loaning a security’s principal to the issuer.
liquidity-enhanced security  The security’s structure includes a liquidity arrangement that requires an entity other than the issuer (such as a large financial institution) to provide funds to pay a tender under most circumstances. Liquidity enhancements are often used on variable-rate securities where the portfolio manager has an option to tender the securities for repayment within a specified time period (usually one day or one week) at any time prior to their final maturity.
maturity  The date a debt security is scheduled to be “retired” and its principal amount repaid. The Maturity of an investment will generally reflect the security’s final maturity date unless the security’s structure includes a maturity-shortening provision such as an interest rate reset, demand feature or put feature (the “Effective Maturity Date”). For those securities with a maturity-shortening provision, including variable-rate demand securities, the Maturity is determined by using the Effective Maturity Date, as permitted by Rule 2a-7.
municipal securities  Debt securities issued by a state, its counties, municipalities, authorities and other subdivisions, or the territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia, including their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and corporations. These securities may be issued to obtain money for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, public utilities, schools, streets, and water and sewer works.
net asset value per share (NAV)  The value of one share of a mutual fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets, subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. Certain money funds seek to maintain a steady NAV of $1.00.
outstanding shares, shares outstanding  When speaking of a company or mutual fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.
repurchase agreement  (also known as a “repo”) The sale of a security combined with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase it at a predetermined date and price.
restricted securities  Securities that are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. These securities are often purchased in private placement transactions.
total return  The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.

Schwab Variable Share Price Money Fund
variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs)  Securities that have long maturities but which, because of their structure, require them to repay principal plus accrued interest within a specified timeframe (usually one or seven days) upon the demand of the bond holder. Depending on their structure, the repayment may be made by the bond issuer or by a financial institution, such as a highly rated bank.
weighted average maturity (WAM)  For money market mutual funds as per rule 2a-7, the maturity date or Effective Maturity Date (see definition of maturity) of all the debt securities in its portfolio, or the date the interest rate on those securities is reset, or the date those
securities can be redeemed through demand, calculated as a weighted average. As a rule, the longer a fund’s weighted average maturity, the greater its interest rate risk. Money funds are required to maintain a weighted average maturity of no more than 60 days.
yield  The income paid out by an investment, expressed as a percentage of the investment’s market value.
