From the President
 

CHANDOHA PHOTO
 
Marie Chandoha is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the funds covered in this report.

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
For 25 years, Charles Schwab Investment Management has been committed to building funds that are designed to serve as part of the foundation of an investor’s portfolio. Our Schwab Equity Index Funds track the performance of stock market indexes constructed by industry-leading index providers, seeking returns by modeling their portfolios accordingly.
 
For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the funds generated returns that were closely aligned with their respective indices, and in most cases reflected a rally by U.S. stocks. For the Schwab International Index Fund, the depreciation of many foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar reduced its total return to approximately zero percent.
 
In the U.S., the Federal Reserve continued to maintain its accommodative monetary policy. This combined with a stronger economy and favorable earnings reports by select companies drove U.S. stock market indices to record highs even as volatility increased. Large cap names were favored by the market, outperforming small-cap stocks.
 
Outside the U.S., economic growth generally stalled. This convinced the Bank of Japan and many other central banks to maintain low interest rates, even as the Fed began to scale back its policies. In response, the yen and other overseas currencies depreciated versus the U.S. dollar, reducing international stock returns in U.S. dollar terms. Financial markets faced additional hurdles that included continued geopolitical tensions.1 These and other factors contributed

Schwab® S&P 500 Index Fund
 
 
The Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund (the fund) seeks to track the total return of the S&P 500 Index (the index), which includes the stocks of 500 leading U.S. publicly traded companies from a broad range of industries. To pursue its investment objective, the fund uses a replication investment approach and generally gives the same weight to a given stock as does the index. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 17.16% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, compared with the index, which returned 17.27%. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
 
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks produced double-digit returns for the 12-month reporting period, with large-cap stocks outperforming small-cap stocks. The Federal Reserve left short-term interest rates historically low, making financing more affordable for businesses and households and generally supporting stocks. Despite heightened geopolitical tensions and an uncertain global economic outlook, the U.S. economy rebounded during the reporting period, and forecasts for stronger earnings by select companies contributed positively to market performance.
 
Contributors and Detractors. The Information Technology sector contributed the most to the index’s return, and to the return of the fund. The large average weight of this sector represents part of the reason for this contribution, with Information Technology stocks representing approximately 19% of the fund. The Information Technology sector returned approximately 26% for the 12-month reporting period, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in Internet and software services. One example from this sector is Apple, Inc., a company that designs, manufactures, and markets personal computers and related computing, mobile communication, and media devices, as well as a variety of related software and services. The fund’s holdings of Apple, Inc. represented the fund’s largest position within this sector and returned approximately 48%. The Health Care sector was another significant contributor to the fund’s overall performance, representing an average weight of approximately 13% of the fund and returning approximately 30%.
 
The Telecommunication Services sector also generated positive returns for the fund, but contributed the least to the fund’s performance. Telecommunication Services stocks represented an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund and returned approximately 5%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in diversified and wireless telecommunication services. One example from this sector is AT&T, Inc., a communications holding company. The fund’s holdings of AT&T, Inc. returned approximately 1%. The Materials sector was another weak overall contributor to the performance of the fund. Materials stocks represented an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund and returned approximately 13% for the 12-month reporting period.

Schwab 1000 Index® Fund
 
 
The Schwab 1000 Index Fund (the fund) seeks to match the total return of the Schwab 1000 Index (the index), which includes the stocks of the largest 1,000 publicly traded companies in the U.S., with size being determined by market capitalization (total market value of all shares outstanding). To pursue its goal, the fund uses a replication investment approach and generally gives the same weight to a given stock as does the index. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 16.36% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2014, compared with the index, which returned 16.62%. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.

Contributors and Detractors. The Information Technology sector was the biggest contributor to the fund’s total return. The large average weight of this sector reflected part of the reason for this contribution, with Information Technology stocks representing approximately 18% of the fund. The Information Technology sector returned approximately 24% for the 12-month reporting period, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in Internet and software services.

Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund®
 
 
The Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund (the fund) seeks to track the total return of the Russell 2000 Index (the index), which is designed to measure the performance of the small-cap sector of the U.S. equity market. To pursue its goal, the fund uses a replication investment approach and generally gives the same weight to a given stock as does the index. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 8.08% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2014, compared with the index, which returned 8.06%. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index. Also, the fund engaged in securities lending, which positively contributed to the fund’s performance versus the index.
 
Market Highlights. Small-cap U.S. stocks underperformed large-cap U.S. stocks, though both generated positive returns for the 12-month reporting period. The Federal Reserve left short-term interest rates historically low, making financing more affordable for businesses and households and generally supporting stocks. Despite heightened geopolitical tensions and an uncertain global economic outlook, the U.S. economy rebounded during the reporting period, and forecasts for stronger earnings by select companies contributed positively to market performance.
 
Contributors and Detractors. The Health Care sector contributed the most to the index’s return, and to the return of the fund. Health Care stocks represented approximately 13% of the fund and returned approximately 22% for the 12-month reporting period, reflecting the overall performance of health care providers, manufacturers and distributors of health care equipment and supplies, health care technology companies, as well as companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. One example from this sector is InterMune, Inc., a biotechnology company. The fund’s holdings of InterMune, Inc. produced triple-digit returns of approximately 426%. The Financials sector also provided meaningful contributions to performance, representing an average weight of approximately 23% of the fund and returning approximately 12%.
 
The Energy sector was the only detractor from the returns of both the index and the fund. The Energy sector represented an average weight of approximately 6% of the fund and returned approximately -18%, reflecting the overall performance of companies engaged in exploration and production, refining and marketing, and storage and transportation of oil, gas, coal and consumable fuels, as well as companies that offer oil and gas equipment and services. One example from this sector is Energy XXI (Bermuda) Ltd., a company that explores for and produces oil and natural gas. The fund’s holdings of Energy XXI (Bermuda) Ltd. returned approximately -73%. The Telecommunication Services sector was the weakest contributor to the performance of the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 1% of the fund and returning approximately 1% for the 12-month reporting period.

Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund®
 
 
The Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund (the fund) seeks to track the total return of the entire U.S. stock market, as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index (the index), which includes the stocks of all publicly traded companies headquartered in the U.S. for which pricing information is readily available. To pursue its investment objective, the funds use a sampling investment approach that involves investing in a representative sample of stocks with similar risk and return characteristics as the index, and maintains a tight allocation across all sectors, market capitalizations, and valuation measures compared with the index. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 15.93% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2014, compared with the index, which returned 16.00%. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index.
 
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks produced double-digit returns for the 12-month reporting period, with large-cap stocks outperforming small-cap stocks. The Federal Reserve left short-term interest rates historically low, making financing more affordable for businesses and households and generally supporting stocks. Despite heightened geopolitical tensions and an uncertain global economic outlook, the U.S. economy rebounded during the reporting period, and forecasts for stronger earnings by select companies contributed positively to market performance.
 
Contributors and Detractors. The Information Technology sector was the biggest contributor to the fund’s total return. The large average weight of this sector reflected part of the reason for this contribution, with Information Technology stocks representing approximately 18% of the fund. The Information Technology sector returned approximately 23% for the 12-month reporting period, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in Internet and software services. One example from this sector is Apple, Inc., a company that designs, manufactures, and markets personal computers and related computing, mobile communication, and media devices, as well as a variety of related software and services. The fund’s holdings of Apple, Inc. represented the fund’s largest position within this sector and returned approximately 48%. The Health Care sector was another significant contributor to the fund’s overall performance, representing an average weight of approximately 13% of the fund and returning approximately 29%.
 
The Telecommunication Services sector also generated positive returns for the fund, but contributed the least to the fund’s performance. Telecommunication Services stocks represented an average weight of approximately 2% of the fund and returned approximately 6%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in diversified and wireless telecommunication services. One example from this sector is NII Holdings, Inc. (Class B), a company that provides mobile communications for business customers in Latin America. The fund’s holdings of NII Holdings, Inc. (Class B) returned approximately -98%. The Energy sector was another comparatively weak contributor to the performance of the fund. Energy stocks represented an average weight of approximately 9% of the fund and returned approximately 3% for the 12-month reporting period.

Schwab International Index Fund®
 
 
The Schwab International Index Fund (the fund) seeks to track the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index (Net) (the index), which measures the total return of large, publicly traded non-U.S. companies from countries with developed equity markets outside of the U.S. To pursue its goal, the fund uses a replication investment approach and generally gives the same weight to a given stock as does the index. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 0.09% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2014, compared with the index, which returned -0.60%. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index. Also, timing differences in foreign exchange calculations and fair valuation of the fund’s holdings contributed to the fund’s relative performance.1
 
Market Highlights. Stocks in developed international markets produced slightly negative overall returns for the 12-month reporting period, in part due to continued geopolitical tensions and unsteady global economic growth. The reduction of some stimulative measures by the Federal Reserve contributed to the depreciation of many international currencies versus the U.S. dollar, generally reducing overall returns on overseas investments.
 
Contributors and Detractors. Stocks from Switzerland were among the biggest contributors to the fund’s total return from a country perspective, and represented an average weight of approximately 9% of the fund. Swiss stocks returned approximately 4% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market is Novartis AG, a company that manufactures pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare products. The fund’s holdings of Novartis AG returned approximately 23% in U.S. dollar terms. Stocks from Hong Kong also provided meaningful contributions to the returns of both the index and the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund and returning approximately 10% in U.S. dollar terms.
 
Stocks from France were among the biggest detractors from the total return of the fund. French stocks represented an average weight of approximately 10% of the fund and returned approximately -6% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market is Sanofi, a global pharmaceutical company that researches, develops, and manufactures prescription pharmaceuticals and vaccines. The fund’s holdings of Sanofi returned approximately -10% in U.S. dollar terms. Stocks from Japan also detracted from the performance of the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 20% of the fund and returning approximately -0.5% in U.S. dollar terms.

International investments are subject to additional risks such as currency fluctuation, geopolitical risk and the potential for illiquid markets.
 
1 Typically, the securities in the index are valued using foreign exchange rates obtained at the close of the London foreign currency exchange (11:00 AM EST). Securities in the fund, however, are valued using foreign exchange rates obtained at the close of the New York foreign currency exchange (4:00 PM EST). This difference in closing times can result in different foreign currency exchange rates between the two exchanges, and thus different foreign currency exchange rates used in the valuation of the index’s and fund’s securities.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees; 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 May 1, 2014 and held through October 31, 2014.
 
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 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, such as redemption fees. 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.

2 Expenses for each fund are equal to its annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 184 days of the period, and divided by the 365 days of the fiscal year.

All net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) in the table above are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Operations. The change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for Level 3 investments held by the fund at October 31, 2014 was ($618,397).
 
The fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the beginning of the fiscal year. There were security transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 for the period ended October 31, 2014. The transfers in the amount of $16,621,611 and $7,924,803 from Level 1 to Level 2 and from Level 2 to Level 1, respectively, were primarily due to the use of international fair valuation by the fund. The transfers into Level 3 from Level 1 or Level 2 were due to the result of fair valued securities for which no quoted value was available.

Both Schwab Capital Trust and Schwab Investments (the “trusts”) are no-load, open-end management investment companies. Each 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 trusts as of the end of the period, including the funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:

Each fund in this report offers one share class. Shares are bought and sold (subject to a redemption fee, see financial note 9) 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 market 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.
 
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: Traded securities are valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, at halfway between the most recent bid and ask quotes. Securities that are

Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
  primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the official closing price or the last sales price on the exchange where the securities are principally traded with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, unless these securities are fair valued as discussed below.
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a 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. Each 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 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.
 
  •  Foreign equity security fair valuation: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value foreign equity securities that are traded in markets that close prior to the funds valuing their holdings. By fair valuing securities whose prices may have been affected by events occurring after the close of trading, each fund seeks to establish prices that investors might expect to realize upon the current sales of these securities. This methodology is designed to deter “arbitrage” market timers, who seek to exploit delays between the change in the value of a fund’s portfolio holdings and the NAV of the fund’s shares, and seeks to help ensure that the prices at which the fund’s shares are purchased and redeemed are fair and do not result in dilution of shareholder interest or other harm to shareholders. When fair value pricing is used at the open or close of a reporting period, it may cause a temporary divergence between the return of a fund and that of its comparative index or benchmark. The Board regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to these procedures.
 
  •  Futures Contracts (“futures”): Futures are valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
  •  Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs. Exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the official closing price, if applicable.
 
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 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.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments 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, ETFs and futures contracts. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, and investments in ETFs are valued daily at the last reported sale price or the official closing price, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by the underlying fund.
 
  •  Level 2 — other 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

Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
  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. In addition, international securities whose markets close hours before the funds value their holdings may require fair valuations due to significant movement in the U.S. markets occurring after the daily close of the foreign markets. The Board has approved a vendor that calculates fair valuations of international equity securities based on a number of factors that appear to correlate to the movements in the U.S. markets. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant 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.
 
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of October 31, 2014 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.
 
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
 
Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are instruments that represent an agreement between two parties that obligates one party to buy, and the other party to sell, specific instruments at an agreed upon price on a stipulated future date. A fund must give the broker a deposit of cash and/or securities (initial margin) whenever it enters into a futures contract. The amount of the deposit may vary from one contract to another. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed, at which time the gains or losses are realized. Futures are traded publicly on exchanges, and their market value may change daily.
 
Securities Lending: Under the trust’s Securities Lending Program, a fund (lender) may make short-term loans of its securities to another party (borrower) to generate additional revenue for the fund. The borrower pledges collateral in the form of cash, securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to be maintained on a daily marked-to-market basis in an amount at least equal to the current value of the securities loaned. The lending agent provides a fund with indemnification against borrower default (the borrower fails to return the security on loan) reducing the risk of loss as a result of default. The cash collateral of securities loaned is currently invested in money market portfolios operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Each fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. The terms of the securities lending agreement allows the funds to terminate any loans at any given time. Securities lending income, as disclosed in each fund’s Statement of Operations, if applicable, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral plus any fees paid by borrowers, less the fees paid to the lending agent and broker rebates which are subject to adjustments pursuant to the securities lending agreement. On loans not collateralized by cash, a fee is received from the borrower, and is allocated between a fund and the lending agent. A fund retains the right to recall a security on loan. The aggregate market value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed one-third of the total assets of a fund, including collateral received from the loan (at market value computed at the time of the loan). Total costs and expenses, including agent fees associated with securities lending activities under the trust’s Securities Lending Program paid to the unaffiliated lending agent are approximately 15% of the gross lending revenues.
 
The values of the securities on loan and the related collateral as of October 31, 2014, if any, are disclosed in the funds’ Portfolio Holdings. Investments of cash collateral are also disclosed in each fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

(c) Security Transactions:
 
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies, including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the differences between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period. These realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are reported in foreign currency transactions or translations in the Statement of Operations. The funds do not isolate the portion of the fluctuations on investments resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
 
Gains realized by the funds on the sale of securities in certain foreign countries may be subject to non-U.S. taxes. In those instances, the funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.
 
When a fund closes out a futures position, it calculates the difference between the value of the position at the beginning and at the end of the contract, and records a realized gain or loss accordingly.
 
(d) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
 
Income received from foreign sources may result in withholding tax. Withholding taxes are accrued at the same time as the related income if the tax rate is fixed and known, unless a tax withheld is reclaimable from the local tax authorities in which case it is recorded as receivable. If the tax rate is not known or estimable, such expense or reclaim receivable is recorded when the net proceeds are received.
 
(e) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to all funds within the trust generally are allocated among the funds in proportion to their average daily net assets.
 
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The funds make distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
 
(g) Custody Credit:
 
Certain funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which the funds may receive a credit for their uninvested cash balance to offset their custody fees and accounting fees. The credit amounts, if any, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to a fund’s operating expenses.
 
(h) 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
(i) Federal Income Taxes:
 
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
 
(j) Foreign Taxes:
 
The funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, corporate events, foreign currency exchanges and capital gains on investments. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in foreign markets in which the funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the funds and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Foreign taxes payable as of October 31, 2014, if any, are reflected in each fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
(k) 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. Risk Factors:
 
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
 
Market Risk. Equity markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of the investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that investors could lose money.
 
Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
 
Tracking Error Risk. As an index fund, each fund seeks to track the performance of its comparative index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and its index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error”. Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant. For example, a fund may not invest in certain securities in the index, or match the securities’ weightings to the index, due to regulatory, operational, custodial or liquidity constraints; corporate transactions; asset valuations; transaction costs and timing; tax considerations; and index rebalancing, which may result in tracking error.
 
Investment Style Risk. Each fund invests in companies measured by its respective index. It follows these stocks during upturns as well as downturns. Because of its indexing strategy, a fund does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of a fund’s expenses, the fund’s performance may be below that of the index.
 
A significant percentage of an index may be composed of securities in a single industry or sector of the economy. If a fund is focused in an industry or sector, it may present more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy.
 
Sampling Index Tracking Risk. If a fund uses a sampling method, the fund will not fully replicate its comparative index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, the fund will be subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. If a fund utilizes a sampling approach, it may not track the return of the index as well as it would if the fund purchased all of the securities in its benchmark index.
 
Concentration Risk. To the extent that a fund’s or an index’s portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector, country, or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector, country, or asset class.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
Small-Cap Risk. Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks. Stock prices of smaller companies may be based in substantial part on future expectations rather than current achievements and may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies themselves may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds or large-cap stocks, for instance — a fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
Large- and Mid-Cap Risk. Both large- and mid-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. However, stocks of mid-cap companies tend to be more volatile than those of large-cap companies because mid-cap companies tend to be more susceptible to adverse business or economic events than larger more established companies. During a period when large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds or small-cap stocks, for instance — a fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
Foreign Investment Risk. A fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); 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 a fund’s investments, and could impair the fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategies. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging markets. Foreign securities also include American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”), which are depositary receipts issued by U.S. and foreign banks that represent shares of foreign-based corporations. ADRs, GDRs and EDRs may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading markets; and GDRs, many of which are issued by companies in emerging markets, may be more volatile.
 
Geographic Risk. To the extent a fund’s investments in a single country or a limited number of countries represent a higher percentage of the fund’s assets, the fund assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries will have a significant impact on its investment performance and it may be subject to increased price volatility.
 
Derivatives Risk. A fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Certain of these risks, such as liquidity risk and market risk, are discussed elsewhere in this section. A fund’s use of derivatives is also subject to credit risk, leverage risk, lack of availability risk, valuation risk, correlation risk and tax risk. Lack of availability risk is the risk that suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivatives transaction may not fulfill its obligations. Leverage risk is the risk that a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately larger impact on a fund. Valuation risk is the risk that a particular derivative may be valued incorrectly. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Tax risk is the risk that the use of derivatives may cause a fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gain. These risks could cause a fund to lose more than the principal amount invested.
 
Liquidity Risk. A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. A fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
Security Lending Risk. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
 
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:
 
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 (“Advisory Agreement”) between CSIM and each trust.

The Board has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) on behalf of the funds. The Plan enables each fund to bear expenses relating to the provision by service providers, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (a broker-dealer affiliate of CSIM, “Schwab”), of certain account maintenance, customer liaison and shareholder services to the current shareholders of the funds. Schwab serves as the funds’ paying agent under the Plan for making payments of the shareholder service fee due to the service providers (other than Schwab). All shareholder service fees paid by the funds to Schwab in its capacity as the funds’ paying agent will be passed through to the service providers, and Schwab will not retain any portion of such fees.
 
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 (or, in the case of payments made to Schwab, pursuant to Schwab’s written agreement with the funds). Payments under the Plan are made as described above regardless of Schwab’s or the service provider’s actual cost of providing the services. If the cost of providing the services under the Plan is less than the payments received, the unexpended portion of the fees may be retained as profit by Schwab or the service provider.

Although these agreements specify certain fees for these services, CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the funds, 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”).

Certain other related parties may own shares of Schwab funds in this report. As of October 31, 2014, the shares owned by Schwab Charitable Giving Trust (an affiliate of Schwab) as a percentage of the total shares of the Schwab Small Cap Index Fund, Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund and Schwab International Index Fund were 2.8%, 6.6% and 3.4%, respectively.
 
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other Schwab Funds. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes only. The interest rate to be charged on a loan is the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. 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 a 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:
 
The funds have access to custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street, an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. and an uncommitted line of credit of $50 million with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The funds pay interest on the amounts they borrow at rates that are negotiated periodically. The funds also pay an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit.
 
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the funds during the period. However, the funds may have utilized their overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on a fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.
 
7. Derivatives:
 
Certain funds entered into equity index futures contracts during the report period. The funds invested in futures to equitize available cash. The fair value and variation margin for futures contracts held at October 31, 2014 are presented on the Portfolio Holdings and Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively. The net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are presented on the Statement of Operations. Refer to financial note 2(b) for the funds’ accounting policies with respect to futures contracts and financial note 3 for disclosures concerning the risks of investing in futures contracts. During the period, the month-end average contract values of futures contracts held by the funds and the month-end average number of contracts held were as follows:

Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses, short-term capital gains and losses, capital losses related to wash sales, unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities, and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
 
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 October 31, 2014, the funds made the following reclassifications:

To the Boards of Trustees and Shareholders of:
Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund
Schwab 1000 Index Fund
Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund
Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund
Schwab International Index Fund
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the condensed portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Schwab 1000 Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Schwab Investments), Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund, Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund, Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund and Schwab International Index Fund (four of the funds constituting Schwab Capital Trust) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2014, and the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
 
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a fund’s investment advisory agreement 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.
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements between Schwab Capital Trust and Schwab Investments (collectively, the “Trusts”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) (the “Agreements”) with respect to the existing funds in the Trusts, including Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund, Schwab 1000 Index Fund, Schwab Small- Cap Index Fund, Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund and Schwab International Index Fund (the “Funds”), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. As part of the renewal process, Independent Trustees’ legal counsel sends an information request letter to CSIM seeking certain relevant information. The responses by CSIM are provided to the Trustees for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees are provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Funds that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
 
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreements with respect to the Funds at meetings held on April 30, 2014, and June 3, 2014, and approved the renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 3, 2014. The Board’s approval of the Agreements with respect to the Funds was based on consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
 
1.  the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds;
 
2.  each Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds;
 
3.  each Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds;
 
4.  the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to each Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
 
5.  the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels in the Agreements reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered investments in CSIM’s mutual fund infrastructure, Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as free advice, investment and research tools, Internet access, and an array of account features that benefit the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s excellent reputation as a full service brokerage firm and its overall financial condition. Finally, the Trustees considered that the vast majority of the Funds’ shareholders are also brokerage clients of Schwab. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds supported renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds.
 
Fund Performance. The Board considered Fund performance in determining whether to renew the Agreements with respect to the Funds. Specifically, the Trustees considered each Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/ benchmarks, in light of total return, and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Trustees considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for such Fund and the

appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of each Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of its review of Fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Funds supported renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds.
 
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Funds’ expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreements, and each Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of a peer group of mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s historical practice of voluntarily waiving management and other fees to prevent total Fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered CSIM’s contractual commitment to keep each Fund’s expense cap for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to such Fund. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Funds are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds.
 
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Funds, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Funds, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability under the Agreements and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to each Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds.
 
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to a Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of Fund expenses, the Trustees considered that CSIM and Schwab have committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. For example, such diseconomies of scale may particularly affect newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. The Trustees also considered the existing contractual investment advisory fee schedules relating to Schwab 1000 Index Fund that include lower fees at higher graduated asset levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Funds obtain reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
 
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreements with respect to the Funds and concluded that the compensation under the Agreements with respect to the Funds is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

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 fund A bond fund is subject to the same credit, interest rate, and inflation risks as bonds. In addition, a bond fund incurs ongoing fees and expenses. A bond fund’s net asset value will fluctuate with the price of the underlying bonds and the portfolio turnover activity; return of principal is not guaranteed.
 
cap, capitalization See “market cap.”
 
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 capital gain or loss is considered unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
 
Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index An index that measures the performance of all U.S. equity securities with readily available prices.
 
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.
 
market cap, market capitalization The value of a company as determined by the total value of all shares of its stock outstanding.
 
MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes; returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
 
net asset value (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.
 
outstanding shares, shares outstanding When speaking of a company or mutual fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.
 
price-to-book ratio (P/B)  The market price of a company’s stock compared with its “book value.” A mutual fund’s P/B is the weighted average of the P/B of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
 
price-to-earnings ratio (P/E)  The market price of a company’s stock compared with earnings over the past year. A mutual fund’s P/E is the weighted average of the P/E of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
 
restricted and illiquid securities Restricted securities are securities that are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), or in a registered public offering. Certain restricted securities, such as Section 4(a)(2) commercial paper and Rule 144A securities under the 1933 Act, may be considered to be liquid if they meet the criteria for liquidity established by the Board. Illiquid securities generally are any securities that cannot be disposed of promptly and in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which a fund has valued the instruments. The liquidity of a fund’s investments is monitored under the supervision and direction of the Board. Investments currently not considered liquid include repurchase agreements not maturing within seven days and certain restricted securities.
 
return on equity (ROE) The average yearly rate of return for each dollar of investors’ money, measured over the past five years.
 
Russell 2000 Index An index that measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes approximately 2000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership.
 
S&P 500 Index A market capitalization index that is designed to measure the performance of 500 leading publicly held companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy.
 
Schwab 1000 Index An index that represents the performance of the largest 1,000 publicly traded companies in the United States.
 
Small-Cap Spliced Index An internally calculated index, comprised of the Schwab Small-Cap Index (the fund’s former comparative index) from inception of the fund until the close of business on December 14, 2011, and the Russell 2000 Index from December 15, 2011 forward.
 
stock A share of ownership, or equity, in the issuing company.
 
total return The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.
 
weighted average For mutual funds, an average that gives the same weight to each security as the security represents in the fund’s portfolio.
 
yield The income paid out by an investment, expressed as a percentage of the investment’s market value.

The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes.

From the President
 

CHANDOHA PHOTO
 
Marie Chandoha is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the funds covered in this report.

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
For 25 years, Charles Schwab Investment Management has been committed to building funds that are designed to serve as part of the foundation of an investor’s portfolio. Our Schwab Active Equity Funds employ a disciplined investment process that involves quantitative and qualitative research and analysis through a bottom-up approach to stock selection. To aid in each fund’s stock selection process, multiple inputs, including Schwab Equity Ratings®, are analyzed by an experienced investment team.
 
For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the Schwab Active Equity Funds generated returns that in most cases reflected a rally by U.S. stocks but a weaker performance by international stocks. Most of the funds invest in U.S. stocks, but for funds that invested in international stocks, the depreciation of many foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar reduced returns. The Schwab Health Care Fund, the Schwab Small-Cap Equity Fund, and the Schwab International Core Equity Fund performed particularly well versus their comparative indices, while the Schwab Financial Services Fund and the Schwab Dividend Equity Fund were comparative underperformers. In addition, the Schwab Hedged Equity Fund underperformed its comparative index, reflecting the fund’s use of short sale transactions that generally caused performance to lag when U.S. stocks rallied.
 
In the U.S., the Federal Reserve continued to maintain its accommodative monetary policy. This combined with a stronger economy and favorable

From the President continued
 

For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the Schwab Active Equity Funds generated returns that in most cases reflected a rally by U.S. stocks but a weaker performance by international stocks.

earnings reports by select companies drove U.S. stock market indices to record highs even as volatility increased. Large cap names were favored by the market, outperforming small-cap stocks.
 
Outside the U.S., economic growth generally stalled. This led to differences between central bank policies in the U.S. and those of Japan and other countries, causing many foreign currencies such as the yen to depreciate versus the U.S. dollar and reducing international returns. Reflecting this backdrop, the MSCI EAFE Index returned -0.6%,1 and the S&P 500 returned 17.3%.
 
For more information about the Schwab Active Equity Funds, please continue reading this report. In addition, you can find further details about these funds by visiting www.schwabfunds.com, or by contacting us at 1-800-435-4000.
 
Sincerely,
 
-s- Marie Chandoha
 
1 The total return cited is for the MSCI EAFE Index (Net), which is calculated net of foreign withholding taxes.

Schwab Core Equity Fund™
 
 
The Schwab Core Equity Fund (the fund) seeks long-term capital growth. To pursue its investment objective, the fund primarily invests in U.S. stocks. The fund expects to hold the common stocks of U.S companies that have market capitalizations of approximately $500 million or more. To aid its stock selection, the fund uses Schwab Equity Ratings®. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 17.88% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, outperforming the S&P 500 Index (the index), which the fund uses for performance comparisons. The index returned 17.27% for the reporting period.
 
Market Highlights. Rebounding economic growth and favorable earnings reports by select companies late in the reporting period supported the performance of U.S. stocks, with large-cap stocks outperforming small-cap stocks. The Information Technology and Health Care sectors performed particularly well, while the Energy and Telecommunication Services sectors underperformed by comparison.
 
Positioning and Strategies. The fund’s over- and underweights in many market sectors compared with the index were among the largest overall contributors to the fund’s relative performance. Effective stock selection also helped overall and contributed to fund outperformance.
 
The fund’s holdings in Apple, Inc. contributed the most to relative performance, returning approximately 48% for the 12-month reporting period. Factors such as positive earnings reports and the highly anticipated release of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus gave Apple, Inc. a boost toward the end of the reporting period, and helped this stock positively contribute to relative performance. From a sector standpoint, the Information Technology sector contributed the most to the fund’s total return, as this sector benefitted especially from improvements in the U.S. economy and increased corporate spending on technology. Although the fund was slightly underweight in Information Technology relative to the comparative index, effective stock selection within this sector helped make up for this relative weighting.
 
In contrast, the fund’s holdings of International Game Technology, a global casino-style gaming company, detracted the most from the fund’s total return. International Game Technology returned approximately -34%, in part due to muted demand in its core business. As a result, the fund’s overweight in this stock reduced the relative performance of the fund (please note this position was sold prior to the end of the reporting period). Within the fund, the Telecommunication Services sector detracted the most from the fund’s total return, as competition between several large companies impacted profit margins. Though the fund was underweight this sector compared with the index, stock selection negatively affected relative performance. The fund’s holdings of AT&T Inc. detracted the most from the fund’s total return in this sector, with returns of approximately -10%. The strategic decision to overweight in this stock detracted from relative performance (please note this position was sold prior to the end of the reporting period).

Schwab Dividend Equity Fund™
 
 
The Schwab Dividend Equity Fund (the fund) seeks current income and capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in dividend-paying common and preferred stocks. To aid its stock selection, the fund uses Schwab Equity Ratings®. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 14.26% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, underperforming the S&P 500 Index (the index), which the fund uses for performance comparisons. The index returned 17.27% for the reporting period. As of October 31, 2014, the fund’s dividend yield was 2.24%, higher than the 1.91% dividend yield of the index. As of October 31, 2014, the fund’s 30-Day SEC yield was 1.38%.
 
Market Highlights. Dividend-paying stocks generally performed well early in the reporting period, most notably in the Utilities sector and REITs industry. However, reductions in stimulative policies by the Federal Reserve and an uncertain global economic outlook negatively impacted dividend-paying stocks, reducing overall returns. In this environment, the Health Care and Information Technology sectors performed particularly well, while the Telecommunication Services and Energy sectors, which generated positive overall returns, underperformed by comparison.
 
Positioning and Strategies. Decisions to over- and underweight certain market sectors compared with the index represented one of the biggest overall detractors from the fund’s relative performance for the reporting period. However, the fund’s disciplined stock-selection strategies helped the investment advisor identify a number of stock opportunities that worked out well, although some stock selections and sector weightings were less effective than others.
 
For example, an overweight of Best Buy Co., Inc. detracted from the fund’s total return. Best Buy Co., Inc. returned approximately -18%, in part due to weak holiday sales early in the reporting period resulting from lack of consumer spending, high competition, and aggressive price cuts. From a sector standpoint, stocks from the Telecommunication Services sector contributed the least to the total return of the fund, as many of these companies faced high competition and stalled growth during the reporting period. The communications holding company AT&T, Inc. is an example from this sector and detracted from relative performance. Weak wireless subscriber growth and high capital spending negatively impacted this stock, with the fund’s holdings of AT&T, Inc. returning approximately 1%.
 
By comparison, an overweight of Wells Fargo & Co., a diversified financial services company, contributed the most to the total return of the fund. Wells Fargo & Co. demonstrated stable growth and had comparatively higher fee exposure during the 12-month reporting period, both of which contributed to this stock’s return of approximately 28% for the fund. Within the fund, the Financials sector was the overall biggest contributor to total return. Financials stocks benefitted especially from the strengthening of the U.S. economy, and effective stock selection within this sector positively contributed to the fund’s relative performance.

Schwab Large-Cap Growth Fund™
 
 
The Schwab Large-Cap Growth Fund (the fund) seeks long-term capital growth. To pursue its investment objective, the fund primarily invests in U.S. common stocks. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in large-cap stocks of U.S. companies. To aid its stock selection, the fund uses Schwab Equity Ratings®. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 18.06% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, outperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the index), which the fund uses for performance comparisons. The index returned 17.11% for the reporting period.
 
Market Highlights. U.S. large-cap stocks produced double-digit returns, in part due to a rebound in U.S. economic growth and favorable earnings reports by select companies late in the reporting period. The Information Technology and Health Care sectors performed particularly well, while the Energy and Telecommunication Services sectors underperformed by comparison.
 
Positioning and Strategies. The fund’s disciplined stock-selection strategies helped the investment advisor identify a number of stock opportunities that worked out well, enhancing the fund’s performance versus the index. Decisions to over- or underweight certain sectors also generally worked in the fund’s favor, although some stock selections and sector weightings were less effective than others.
 
Apple, Inc., a company that designs, manufactures, and markets personal electronic devices, contributed the most to the fund’s total return. Positive earnings reports and the highly anticipated release of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus gave Apple, Inc. a boost toward the end of the reporting period, with the fund’s holdings of this company returning approximately 48%. Based on the results of the fund’s valuation models, holdings of Apple, Inc. were generally kept in line with those of the index. From a sector standpoint, Information Technology contributed the most to the fund’s total return, as this sector benefitted from innovations in cloud computing and growth in Internet services. Although the fund was slightly underweight in Information Technology relative to the comparative index, effective stock selection within this sector made up for this relative weighting.
 
By comparison, an overweight in shares of SM Energy Co. detracted more from the fund’s total return than any other holdings. SM Energy Co., an independent energy company that is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of oil and gas in onshore North America, returned -35% for the fund for the reporting period. Key oil reserve revisions early in 2014 added to this negative performance, as did soft earnings and declining oil prices late in the reporting period. Within the fund, the Energy sector was the only detractor from the fund’s total return. Though the fund was slightly underweight this sector compared with the index, which helped relative performance, the fund’s stock selection strategies in the Energy sector worked out less favorably for the fund.

Schwab Small-Cap Equity Fund™
 
 
The Schwab Small-Cap Equity Fund (the fund) seeks long-term capital growth. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in small-cap equity securities. To aid its stock selection, the fund uses Schwab Equity Ratings®. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 11.67% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, outperforming the Russell 2000 Index (the index), which the fund uses for performance comparisons. The index returned 8.06% for the reporting period.
 
Market Highlights. Small-cap stocks underperformed large-cap stocks, but both produced positive returns for the 12-month reporting period. A rebound in U.S. economic growth helped, as did favorable earnings reports by select companies late in the reporting period. The Utilities and Health Care sectors performed particularly well, while the Energy and Telecommunication Services sectors underperformed by comparison.
 
Positioning and Strategies. The fund’s disciplined stock-selection strategies helped the investment advisor identify a number of stock opportunities that worked out well, enhancing the fund’s performance versus the index. Decisions to over- or underweight certain sectors also generally worked in the fund’s favor, although some stock selections and sector weightings were less effective than others.
 
For example, Green Plains, Inc., a vertically integrated producer, marketer and distributer of ethanol, contributed the most to the fund’s total return. Green Plains, Inc. returned approximately 114% for the fund, in part due to strong demand for ethanol both domestically and abroad. The performance of this company was particularly notable given that it resides within what was the worst-performing sector for the reporting period. From a sector standpoint, Financials stocks contributed the most to the fund’s total return and demonstrated the fund’s effective stock selection strategy. As an example, Ashford Hospitality Trust, a self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on investing in the hospitality industry, returned approximately 36% for the fund. The fund’s holdings of this stock benefitted from an overweight versus the index, and positively contributed to relative performance.
 
In contrast, the fund’s holdings of Pioneer Energy Services Corp. detracted the most from the total return of the fund. Pioneer Energy Services Corp., a company that provides drilling and production services to independent oil and gas exploration and production companies, returned approximately -39%. Though this stock performed well throughout much of 2014, sharp declines in the price of crude oil toward the end of the reporting period negatively affected returns. Within the fund, the Energy sector was the only detractor from the fund’s total return. An overweight in this sector reduced relative performance, as did the fund’s stock selection strategy for Energy stocks.

Schwab Hedged Equity Fund™
 
 
The Schwab Hedged Equity Fund (the fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation over market cycles with lower volatility than the broad equity market. To pursue its investment objective, the fund establishes long and short positions in equity securities issued by U.S. companies. When the fund takes a long position, it purchases a stock outright. However, when the fund takes a short position, it sells a stock that it has borrowed, and at the scheduled time of replacement, has to buy the stock at the current market price to close out the transaction. If the price of the stock rises after the short sale, the fund loses money, and vice versa. The fund typically purchases or sells short stocks of companies that have market capitalizations of $1 billion or more at the time the stock is purchased or sold short. To aid its stocks selection, the fund uses Schwab Equity Ratings®. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 11.07% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, underperforming the S&P 500 Index (the index), which returned 17.27% for the reporting period. Although the fund uses the index for general performance comparisons, the fund’s investment objective and use of short sale transactions generally mean that its total return is expected to be lower than the total return of the index when stocks rally, but potentially higher than the total return of the index when the stock market loses ground.
 
Market Highlights. U.S. equities produced double-digit returns for the 12-month reporting period. The Federal Reserve left short-term interest rates historically low, making financing more affordable for businesses and households. In this environment, the Information Technology and Health Care sectors performed particularly well, while the Telecommunication Services and Materials sectors, which generated positive returns, underperformed by comparison.
 
Positioning and Strategies. Throughout the 12-month reporting period, the fund held short positions of approximately 40% of net assets on average. Given the substantial rally by stocks, these short positions detracted from the fund’s total return compared with the index, and provided the most significant reason for the performance disparity between the two.
 
In contrast, the fund’s allocations across market sectors generally contributed to relative performance compared with the index, particularly in the Consumer Staples and Materials sectors. For example, the fund’s long positions in the Consumer Staples sector returned approximately 22%, outperforming the approximately 14% corresponding return of the index. In addition, although the fund’s short positions in the Materials sector detracted from performance, the positive returns of the fund’s long positions within this sector outperformed those in the index, enhancing relative performance. However, not all allocations across market sectors were as favorable. The Energy sector is an example of this, with the long positions in this sector returning approximately -8%, underperforming those of the index.
 
From a stock selection standpoint, shares of SM Energy Co. detracted more from the fund’s total return than any other holdings. SM Energy Co. is an independent energy company that is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of oil and gas in onshore North America, and returned approximately -37% for the fund for the reporting period. Disappointing earnings in early 2014 were a part of this negative performance, as were declining oil prices late in the reporting period.
 
Zebra Technologies, by comparison, contributed the most to the total return of the fund. Zebra Technologies, a company that manufactures and distributes a broad line of direct thermal and thermal transfer bar code label and receipt printers, returned approximately 50% for the fund for the 12-month reporting period. In April 2014, Zebra Technologies announced the acquisition of Motorola Solutions’ Enterprise business. This announcement, combined with an overweight to this stock, positively impacted the returns of Zebra Technologies for the fund (please note this position was sold prior to the end of the reporting period).

The Schwab Hedged Equity Fund’s long positions can decline in value at the same time the value of its shorted stocks increases, thereby increasing the potential for loss. The potential loss associated with short positions is much greater than the original value of the securities sold. The use of borrowing and short sales may cause the fund to have higher expenses than those of equity funds that do not use such techniques. 
 
1 Fund expenses may have been partially absorbed by CSIM and its affiliates. Without these reductions, the fund’s returns would have been lower. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Schwab Financial Services Fund™
 
 
The Schwab Financial Services Fund (the fund) seeks long-term capital growth. To pursue its investment objective, the fund primarily invests in equity securities issued by companies in the financial services sector. To aid its stock selection, the fund uses Schwab Equity Ratings®. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 15.92% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, underperforming the S&P 1500 SuperComposite Financials Sector Index (the index), which the fund uses for performance comparisons. The index returned 17.21% for the reporting period.
 
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks produced double-digit returns for the 12-month reporting period. The Federal Reserve left short-term interest rates historically low, making financing more affordable for businesses and households. Despite heightened geopolitical tensions and an uncertain global economic outlook, the U.S. economy rebounded during the reporting period, and forecasts for stronger earnings by select companies contributed positively to market performance.
 
Positioning and Strategies. Decisions to over- and underweight certain sub-industries compared with the index represented one of the biggest overall detractors from the fund’s relative performance for the reporting period. However, the fund’s disciplined stock-selection strategies helped the investment advisor identify a number of stock opportunities that worked out well, although some stock selections and sub-industry weightings were less effective than others.
 
Ocwen Financial Corporation, a financial services holding company, detracted the most from the total return of the fund. Contributing to these results were missed earnings-per-share estimates in October 2014, as well as a portfolio of mortgage servicing rights deal between Ocwen Financial Corporation and Wells Fargo & Co. that was denied by New York regulators. Based on high cash flow, price momentum, and analyst target prices, the fund was overweight in Ocwen Financial Corporation. This weighting, combined with returns of approximately -32%, detracted from relative performance (please note this position was sold prior to the end of the reporting period). Within the fund, the Thrifts & Mortgage Finance sub-industry returned less than 1% and was the biggest detractor from the relative performance of the fund, primarily due to the overweight in Ocwen Financial Corporation.
 
In contrast, an overweight in shares of Wells Fargo & Co., a diversified financial services company, contributed more to the fund’s total return than any other holdings. Wells Fargo & Co. exceeded federal minimum capital levels under stress scenarios and integrated Apple Pay for its customers and merchants, both of which contributed to this stock’s return of approximately 28% for the fund. Within the fund, the Diversified Banks sub-industry contributed the most to total return. The fund was underweight Diversified Banks due to an underweight position in U.S. Bancorp, but the overweight in Wells Fargo & Co. acted as a balance and drove this sub-industry’s positive performance (please note the fund’s position in U.S. Bancorp was sold prior to the end of the reporting period).

Schwab Health Care Fund™
 
 
The Schwab Health Care Fund (the fund) seeks long-term capital growth. To pursue its investment objective, the fund primarily invests in equity securities issued by companies in the Health Care sector. The fund uses Schwab Equity Ratings® to aid its U.S. stock selection and Schwab’s proprietary international stock research to aid its international stock selection. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 27.06% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, outperforming the Dow Jones Global Health Care Index (the index), which the fund uses for performance comparisons. The index returned 23.34% for the reporting period.
 
Market Highlights. Health Care stocks were some of the better performers within the broad U.S. stock market. The Affordable Care Act had a positive impact on health care enrollment and while it benefitted some sub-industries, other sub-industries were negatively affected as some companies struggled to adjust to the new regulations. Within the broad Health Care sector, biotechnology and managed health care stocks were some of the better performers, with each sub-industry producing double-digit returns of approximately 40%.
 
Positioning and Strategies. The fund’s disciplined stock-selection strategies helped the investment advisor identify a number of stock opportunities that worked out well, enhancing the fund’s performance versus its comparative index. Decisions to over- or underweight certain sub-industries also worked in the fund’s favor overall, while some stock selections and sub-industry weightings were less effective than others.
 
Gilead Sciences, Inc., a research-based pharmaceuticals company, contributed the most to the fund’s total return. The launch of a new Hepatitis C drug helped to drive this company’s performance during the 12-month reporting period, as Gilead Sciences, Inc. returned approximately 57%. Looking at overall sub-industry performance, pharmaceuticals stocks were the biggest contributors to the fund’s total return. Though the fund was underweight in pharmaceuticals, the fund’s effective stock selection worked out well and enhanced the fund’s relative performance. Within pharmaceuticals, Merck & Co., Inc. delivered a notable performance, returning approximately 33% for the fund. Merck & Co., Inc., a global health care company, benefitted from several factors, including the acquisition of Idenix Pharmaceuticals and the launch of a new drug.
 
However, not all of the stock selections within the fund worked out as favorably. MedAssets, Inc., a company that provides technology-enabled products and services, detracted the most from the fund’s total return. MedAssets, Inc. experienced slowing order growth and returns during the reporting period, as hospitals continue to adjust to the Affordable Care Act. As a result, the fund’s holdings of MedAssets, Inc. returned approximately -1%, causing the fund’s overweight in this stock to detract from relative performance (please note this position was sold prior to the end of the reporting period). Within the fund, the health care technology sub-industry was the only detractor from total return, as many other companies in this sector were also negatively impacted by the Affordable Care Act. The fund’s overweight in this sub-industry compared with the index detracted from relative performance.

Schwab® International Core Equity Fund
 
 
The Schwab International Core Equity Fund (the fund) seeks long-term capital growth. To pursue its investment objective, the fund primarily invests in stocks of publicly traded companies located in developed countries, excluding the U.S. To aid its stock selection, the fund uses Schwab’s proprietary international stock research. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 2.20% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index (the index), which the fund uses for performance comparisons. The index returned -0.60% for the reporting period.
 
Market Highlights. International equities in developed markets produced slightly negative overall returns for the 12-month reporting period. The reduction of some stimulative measures by the Federal Reserve contributed to the depreciation of many international currencies versus the U.S. dollar, generally reducing overall returns on overseas investments. Additionally, heightened geopolitical tensions in the Ukraine and the Middle East increased market volatility, as did an uncertain outlook on global economic growth.
 
Positioning and Strategies. Effective stock selection was the most noteworthy strategy that contributed to the fund’s outperformance. Stock selection in the United Kingdom and Switzerland was particularly strong, while stock selection in Australia and Germany detracted from the fund’s relative performance.
 
For example, an overweight of AstraZeneca plc, a company from the United Kingdom that researches, manufactures, and sells pharmaceutical and medical products, contributed the most to the fund’s total return. During the reporting period, AstraZeneca plc successfully avoided being taken over by a rival pharmaceuticals company. Combined with delays in the launch of a competing generic drug, this failed takeover attempt positively contributed to this stock’s performance, with the fund’s holdings of AstraZeneca plc returning approximately 43%. From a country perspective, the fund’s United Kingdom holdings returned approximately 12%, notably outperforming the index.
 
The selection of Compagnie Generale des Etablissements Michelin SCA stock did not work out as favorably, as the fund’s holdings of this company detracted the most from the fund’s total return. Compagnie Generale des Etablissements Michelin SCA, a manufacturer and distributor of tires, returned approximately -15%, due in part to concerns about the pace of European recovery and overall weak auto sales. Within the fund, stocks from Australia detracted the most from the fund’s total return. The fund held several stocks that the index did not, including Arrium Ltd., which contributed to this market’s poor performance. Arrium Ltd., an international diversified mining and materials company, was negatively affected by significant decreases in the price of iron ore and overall weaker commodity prices, and the fund’s holdings of this company returned approximately -72% for the 12-month reporting period (please note this position was sold prior to the end of the reporting period).

4 Effective February 28, 2014, the fund changed its comparative index, for purposes of performance calculation, from MSCI EAFE Index (Gross) to MSCI EAFE Index (Net). The Net version of the index more accurately reflects how dividends paid to the fund on its foreign securities are treated for tax purposes, and provides a better basis for comparing the fund’s performance. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes.

Table of Contents

 
Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees; 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 May 1, 2014 and held through October 31, 2014.
 
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 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, such as redemption fees. 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.

Each fund in this report offers one share class. Shares are bought and sold (subject to a redemption fee, see financial note 9) 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 market 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.
 
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: Traded securities are valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, at halfway between the most recent bid and ask quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the official closing price or the last sales price on the exchange where the securities are principally traded with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, unless these securities are fair valued as discussed below.
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when it is

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
  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. Each 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 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.
 
  •  Foreign equity security fair valuation: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value foreign equity securities that are traded in markets that close prior to the funds valuing their holdings. By fair valuing securities whose prices may have been affected by events occurring after the close of trading, each fund seeks to establish prices that investors might expect to realize upon the current sales of these securities. This methodology is designed to deter “arbitrage” market timers, who seek to exploit delays between the change in the value of a fund’s portfolio holdings and the NAV of the fund’s shares, and seeks to help ensure that the prices at which the fund’s shares are purchased and redeemed are fair and do not result in dilution of shareholder interest or other harm to shareholders. When fair value pricing is used at the open or close of a reporting period, it may cause a temporary divergence between the return of a fund and that of its comparative index or benchmark. The Board regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to these procedures.
 
  •  Futures contracts (“futures”) and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forwards”): Futures are valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges. Forwards are valued based on that day’s forward exchange rates or by using an interpolated forward exchange rate for contracts with interim settlement dates.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
  •  Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs. Exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the official closing price, if applicable.
 
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 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.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments 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, ETFs and futures contracts. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, and investments in ETFs are valued daily at the last reported sale price or the official closing price, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by the underlying fund.
 
  •  Level 2 — other 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. In addition, international securities whose markets close hours before the funds value their holdings may require fair valuations due to significant movement in the U.S. markets occurring after the daily

  close of the foreign markets. The Board has approved a vendor that calculates fair valuations of international equity securities based on a number of factors that appear to correlate to the movements in the U.S. markets. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant 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.
 
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of October 31, 2014 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.
 
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
 
Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are instruments that represent an agreement between two parties that obligates one party to buy, and the other party to sell, specific instruments at an agreed upon price on a stipulated future date. A fund must give the broker a deposit of cash and/or securities (initial margin) whenever it enters into a futures contract. The amount of the deposit may vary from one contract to another. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed, at which time the gains or losses are realized. Futures are traded publicly on exchanges, and their market value may change daily.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Forwards are contracts to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The value of the forwards is accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contracts settle, at which time the gains or losses are realized.
 
Securities Lending: Under the trust’s Securities Lending Program, a fund (lender) may make short-term loans of its securities to another party (borrower) to generate additional revenue for the fund. The borrower pledges collateral in the form of cash, securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to be maintained on a daily marked-to-market basis in an amount at least equal to the current value of the securities loaned. The lending agent provides a fund with indemnification against borrower default (the borrower fails to return the security on loan) reducing the risk of loss as a result of default. The cash collateral of securities loaned is currently invested in money market portfolios operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Each fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. The terms of the securities lending agreement allow the funds to terminate any loans at any given time. Securities lending income, as disclosed in each fund’s Statement of Operations, if applicable, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral plus any fees paid by borrowers, less the fees paid to the lending agent and broker rebates which are subject to adjustments pursuant to the securities lending agreement. On loans not collateralized by cash, a fee is received from the borrower, and is allocated between a fund and the lending agent. A fund retains the right to recall a security on loan. The aggregate market value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed one-third of the total assets of a fund, including collateral received from the loan (at market value computed at the time of the loan). Total costs and expenses, including agent fees, associated with securities lending activities under the trust’s Securities Lending Program paid to the unaffiliated lending agent are approximately 15% of the gross lending revenues.
 
The values of the securities on loan and the related collateral as of October 31, 2014, if any, are disclosed in the funds’ Portfolio Holdings. Investments of cash collateral are also disclosed in each fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
Short Sales: When a fund sells securities short (sells securities it does not own), the fund identifies assets worth at least 100% of the value of the short securities as collateral. If the market value of the short securities subsequently falls, the fund can realize a gain by closing the short position. However, if the value rises, the fund typically would have to add to its collateral or close out its short position at a loss. The potential for losses associated with short positions is much greater than the original value of the securities sold short and may exceed amounts recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
(c) Security Transactions:
 
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies, including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the differences between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period. These realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are reported in foreign currency transactions or translations in the Statement of Operations. The funds do not isolate the portion of the fluctuations on investments resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
 
If a fund sells securities short, it records the proceeds received as an asset and the obligation to buy back the securities as a liability. At the time a short sale is initiated, the asset and liability are of equal value and effectively cancel each other out. Subsequently, the fund values the liability side of the transaction according to the market price of the securities sold short, and values the asset side according to the value of the proceeds. When a fund closes out a short position (buys the security), it records the outcome as a realized gain or loss. Dividends accrued on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on a fund’s records and presented in the Statement of Operations. A fund may also incur stock loan fees which represent the cost of borrowing securities used for short sale transactions.
 
Gains realized by the funds on the sale of securities in certain foreign countries may be subject to non-U.S. taxes. In those instances, the funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.
 
When a fund closes out a futures or forward position, it calculates the difference between the value of the position at the beginning and at the end of the contract, and records a realized gain or loss accordingly.
 
(d) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
 
Income received from foreign sources may result in withholding tax. Withholding taxes are accrued at the same time as the related income if the tax rate is fixed and known, unless a tax withheld is reclaimable from the local tax authorities in which case it is recorded as receivable. If the tax rate is not known or estimable, such expense or reclaim receivable is recorded when the net proceeds are received.
 
(e) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to all funds within the trust generally are allocated among the funds in proportion to their average daily net assets.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The funds make distributions from net investment income, if any, once a year, with the exception of Schwab Dividend Equity Fund which typically pays quarterly dividends. The funds make distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
 
(g) Custody Credit:
 
Certain funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which the funds may receive a credit for their uninvested cash balance to offset their custody fees and accounting fees. The credit amounts, if any, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to a fund’s operating expenses.
 
(h) 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.
 
(i) Federal Income Taxes:
 
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
 
(j) Foreign Taxes:
 
The funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, corporate events, foreign currency exchanges and capital gains on investments. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in foreign markets in which the funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the funds and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Foreign taxes payable as of October 31, 2014, if any, are reflected in each fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
(k) 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. Risk Factors:
 
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
 
Market Risk. Equity markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of the investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that investors could lose money.
 
Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
 
Management Risk. The funds’ investment adviser makes investment decisions for the funds using a strategy based largely on historical information. There is no guarantee that a strategy based on historical information will produce the desired results in the future. In addition, the portfolio optimization process used by each fund to assist in constructing the fund’s portfolio does not assure successful investment. Securities selected with the assistance of the process may be negatively impacted by factors or events not foreseen in developing the process. As a result, a fund may have a lower return than if it were managed using another process or strategy.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
Small-Cap Risk. Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments - large-cap and mid-cap stocks, for instance - a fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
Large- and Mid-Cap Risk. Both large- and mid-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. However, stocks of mid-cap companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks fall behind other types of investments - small-cap stocks, for instance - a fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
Growth Investing Risk. Growth stocks can be volatile. Growth companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their businesses and may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. The prices of growth stocks are based largely on projections of the issuer’s future earnings and revenues. If a company’s earnings or revenues fall short of expectations, its stock price may fall dramatically. Growth stocks may also be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to value or other stocks.
 
To the extent that a fund invests in dividend paying stocks, the fund’s performance will correlate directly with the performance of the dividend paying stock segment of the stock market, and the fund may underperform funds that do not limit their investments to dividend paying stocks. If stocks held by a fund reduce or stop paying dividends, the fund’s ability to generate income may be affected.
 
Derivatives Risk. A fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Certain of these risks, such as liquidity risk and market risk, are discussed elsewhere in this section. A fund’s use of derivatives is also subject to credit risk, leverage risk, lack of availability risk, valuation risk, correlation risk and tax risk. Lack of availability risk is the risk that suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivatives transaction may not fulfill its obligations. Leverage risk is the risk that a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately larger impact on a fund. Valuation risk is the risk that a particular derivative may be valued incorrectly. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Tax risk is the risk that the use of derivatives may cause a fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gain. These risks could cause a fund to lose more than the principal amount invested.
 
Liquidity Risk. A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. A fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
Convertible Securities Risk. Convertible securities generally are debt obligations that pay income, but which may convert into common or preferred stock under certain circumstances. These investments, which are often issued by smaller or less established companies, are subject to the equity risks described above, but they also are subject to fixed income risks. For example, an issuer may fail to pay interest or dividends, and prices of convertible securities generally will fall when interest rates rise.
 
ETFs Risk. When a fund invests in an ETF, it will bear a proportionate share of the ETF’s expenses. In addition, lack of liquidity in an ETF can result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities.
 
REITs Risk. A fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) will be subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. REITs are also subject to certain additional risks; for example, REITs are dependent upon specialized management skills and cash flows, and may have their investments in relatively few properties, a small geographic area or a single property type. Failure of a company to qualify as a REIT under federal tax law may have adverse consequences on a fund. In addition, REITs have their own expenses, and a fund will bear a proportionate share of those expenses.
 
Short Sales Risk. Certain funds engage in short sales transactions. Short sales are transactions in which a fund sells a security it does not own. To complete a short sale, a fund must borrow the security to deliver to the buyer. A fund is then obligated to replace the borrowed security by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of replacement. This price may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by a fund, and the fund will incur a loss if the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sales and the time the fund replaces the borrowed security.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
Dividend Paying Risk. To the extent a fund establishes both long and short positions in equity securities the fund’s long positions could decline in value at the same time that the value of the stocks sold short increase, thereby increasing the fund’s overall potential for loss. A fund’s short sales may result in a loss if the prices of the borrowed securities rise and it costs more to replace the borrowed securities. In contrast to a fund’s long positions, the potential loss on the fund’s short positions is unlimited. In addition, the lender of the borrowed securities may require a fund to return the securities on short notice, which may require the fund to purchase the borrowed securities at an unfavorable price, resulting in a loss.
 
Foreign Investment Risk. A fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); 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 be heightened in connection with investments in emerging markets. To the extent a fund’s investments in a single country or a limited number of countries represent a higher percentage of the fund’s assets, the fund assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries will have a significant impact on its investment performance and it may be subject to increased price volatility.
 
Emerging Markets Risk. Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Such countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with a fund’s investments in emerging market countries, which may be magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Concentration Risk. The investments of certain funds are concentrated in issuers doing business in the same sector, and therefore, the companies in which a fund invests will be affected by many of the same factors, such as legislative or regulatory changes, intense competition for market share, and other competitive challenges. In addition, a fund is subject to the risks that stocks of these companies may underperform other segments of the equity market or stock market as a whole and are likely to have above-average volatility.
 
Security Lending Risk. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
 
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:
 
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 (“Advisory Agreement”) between CSIM and the trust.
 
For its advisory and administrative services to the funds, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on a percentage of each fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
 
The Board has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) on behalf of the funds. The Plan enables each fund to bear expenses relating to the provision by service providers, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (a broker-dealer affiliate of CSIM, “Schwab”), of certain account maintenance, customer liaison and shareholder services to the current shareholders of the funds. Schwab serves as the funds’ paying agent under the Plan for making payments of the shareholder service fee due to the service providers (other than Schwab). All shareholder service fees paid by the funds to Schwab in its capacity as the funds’ paying agent will be passed through to the service providers, and Schwab will not retain any portion of such fees.
 
Pursuant to the Plan, each fund’s shares are subject to an annual shareholder servicing fee up to 0.25%. The shareholder servicing fee paid to a particular service provider is made pursuant to its written agreement with Schwab (or, in the case of payments made to Schwab, pursuant to Schwab’s written agreement with the funds). Payments under the Plan are made as described above regardless of Schwab’s or the service provider’s actual cost of providing the services. If the cost of providing the services under the Plan is less than the payment received, the unexpended portion of the fees may be retained as profit by Schwab or the service provider.
 
Although these agreements specify certain fees for these services, CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the funds, 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”). The expense limitation as a percentage of average daily net assets is as follows:

4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
 
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other Schwab Funds. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes only. The interest rate to be charged on a loan is the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. 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 a 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:
 
The funds have access to custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street, an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. and an uncommitted line of credit of $50 million with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The funds pay interest on the amounts they borrow at rates that are negotiated periodically. The funds also pay an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit.
 
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the funds during the period. However, the funds may have utilized their overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on a fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.
 
7. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:
 
For the period ended October 31, 2014, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:

Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses, short-term capital gains and losses, capital losses related to wash sales, unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities, and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
 
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 October 31, 2014, the funds made the following reclassifications:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Schwab Core Equity Fund, Schwab Dividend Equity Fund, Schwab Large-Cap Growth Fund, Schwab Small-Cap Equity Fund, Schwab Hedged Equity Fund, Schwab Financial Services Fund, Schwab Health Care Fund and Schwab International Core Equity Fund (eight of the funds constituting Schwab Capital Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2014, and the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
 
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a fund’s investment advisory agreement 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.
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement between Schwab Capital Trust (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) (the “Agreement”) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab Core Equity Fund, Schwab Dividend Equity Fund, Schwab Large-Cap Growth Fund, Schwab Small-Cap Equity Fund, Schwab Hedged Equity Fund, Schwab Financial Services Fund, Schwab Health Care Fund and Schwab International Core Equity Fund (the “Funds”), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. As part of the renewal process, Independent Trustees’ legal counsel sends an information request letter to CSIM seeking certain relevant information. The responses by CSIM are provided to the Trustees for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees are provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Funds that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
 
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Funds at meetings held on April 30, 2014, and June 3, 2014, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 3, 2014. The Board’s approval of the Agreement with respect to the Funds was based on consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
 
1.  the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds;
 
2.  each Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds;
 
3.  each Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and other accounts;
 
4.  the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to each Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
 
5.  the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels in the Agreement reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered investments in CSIM’s mutual fund infrastructure, Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as free advice, investment and research tools, Internet access, and an array of account features that benefit the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s excellent reputation as a full service brokerage firm and its overall financial condition. Finally, the Trustees considered that the vast majority of the Funds’ shareholders are also brokerage clients of Schwab. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Fund Performance. The Board considered Fund performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Funds. Specifically, the Trustees considered each Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return, and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the

Table of Contents

performance of each Fund, the Trustees considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for such Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of each Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of its review of Fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below. Although Schwab Core Equity Fund, Schwab Dividend Equity Fund, Schwab Large-Cap Growth Fund, Schwab Hedged Equity Fund, Schwab Financial Services Fund and Schwab Health Care Fund had performance that lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain (although not necessarily all) periods considered, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to Schwab Core Equity Fund, Schwab Dividend Equity Fund, Schwab Large-Cap Growth Fund, Schwab Hedged Equity Fund, Schwab Financial Services Fund and Schwab Health Care Fund including that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions by CSIM that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies; and that CSIM had taken steps designed to help improve performance. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Funds supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Funds’ expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement, and each Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of a peer group of mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s historical practice of voluntarily waiving management and other fees to prevent total Fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered CSIM’s contractual commitment to keep each Fund’s expense cap for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to such Fund. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Funds are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Funds, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Funds, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to each Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to a Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of Fund expenses, the Trustees considered that CSIM and Schwab have committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. For example, such diseconomies of scale may particularly affect newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. The Trustees also considered the existing contractual investment advisory fee schedules relating to Schwab Financial Services Fund and Schwab Health Care Fund that, in each case, include lower fees at higher graduated asset levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Funds obtain reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
 
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Funds and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Funds is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

Glossary
 
 
asset allocation The practice of dividing a portfolio among different asset classes, with each asset class assigned a particular percentage.
 
asset class A group of securities with similar structure and basic characteristics. Stocks, bonds and cash are the three main examples of asset classes.
 
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index A broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-back securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM passthroughs), asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
 
Barclays U.S. Treasury Bills 1 − 3 Months Index An index that includes all publicly issued zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Bills that have a remaining maturity of less than 3 months and more than 1 month, are rated investment grade, and have $250 million or more of outstanding face value.
 
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 fund A bond fund is subject to the same credit, interest rate, and inflation risks as bonds. In addition, a bond fund incurs ongoing fees and expenses. A bond fund’s net asset value will fluctuate with the price of the underlying bonds and the portfolio turnover activity; return of principal is not guaranteed.
 
cap, capitalization See “market cap.”

From the President
 

CHANDOHA PHOTO
 
Marie Chandoha is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the funds covered in this report.

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
For 25 years, Charles Schwab Investment Management has been committed to building funds that are designed to serve as part of the foundation of an investor’s portfolio.
 
In recent years, fundamentally weighted index strategies have enjoyed significant asset growth as investors have embraced the value of alternative index strategies. Unlike traditional equity indices that are often weighted by market capitalization, fundamentally weighted indices select and weight stocks by objective non-price measures, such as dividends, cash flow, and sales. By using this weighting methodology, the Schwab Fundamental Index Funds can serve as effective complements to capitalization-weighted and actively managed investment vehicles, with the goal of helping shareholders to create the potential for more attractive risk-adjusted portfolios.
 
For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the funds generated returns that were closely aligned with their respective indices, reflecting a rally by U.S. stocks but a weaker performance by international stocks. The depreciation of many foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar was a key reason for the performance by international stocks, as slow economic growth overseas convinced the Bank of Japan and other central banks to keep interest rates low, even as the Fed scaled back its stimulative policies. Financial markets faced additional hurdles that included continued geopolitical tensions. These and other factors contributed to heightened market uncertainty.1In the

From the President continued
 

For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the funds generated returns that were closely aligned with their respective indices, reflecting a rally by U.S. stocks but a weaker performance by international stocks.

U.S., many large-cap stock market indices reached record highs amid rebounding economic growth and generally favorable earnings reports, while small-cap stocks underperformed by comparison. As a result, the Russell Fundamental U.S. Large Company Index returned 16.2%, and the Russell Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index returned -4.6%.2
 
In related product news, we are excited to announce the launch of the Schwab Fundamental Global Real Estate Index Fund, which enhances our line-up of fundamentally weighted strategies. More information about this new fund can be found on www.schwabfunds.com, or by contacting us at 1-800-435-4000. For information about the Schwab Fundamental Index Funds, please continue reading this report.
 
Sincerely,
 
-s- Marie Chandoha

Schwab Fundamental US Large Company Index Fund
 
 
The Schwab Fundamental US Large Company Index Fund (the fund) seeks investment results that correspond generally (before fees and expenses) to the total return of the Russell Fundamental U.S. Large Company Index (the index), which measures the performance of the large company size segment by fundamental overall company scores that are created using as the universe the companies in the Russell 3000® Index. To pursue its investment objective, the fund uses a replication investment approach and generally gives the same weight to a given stock as does the index. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 15.74% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, while the comparative index returned 16.23%. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index. The fund also received strong cash inflows during the reporting period. On some occasions, this cash was briefly invested in S&P 500 Index futures, and these futures lagged the return of the index during portions of the 12-month reporting period, slightly detracting from the fund’s relative performance.
 
Market Highlights. Large-cap U.S. stocks produced double-digit returns and outperformed small-cap stocks for the 12-month reporting period, despite heightened geopolitical tensions and increased market volatility. The Federal Reserve left short-term interest rates historically low, making financing more affordable for businesses and households and generally supporting stocks. In addition, a rebounding U.S. economy and forecasts for stronger earnings by select companies contributed positively to market performance.
 
Contributors and Detractors. The Information Technology sector contributed the most to the fund’s total return. The large average weight of this sector represents part of the reason for this contribution, with Information Technology stocks comprising approximately 13% of the fund. The Information Technology sector returned approximately 26% for the 12-month reporting period, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in Internet and software services. One example from this sector is Microsoft Corporation, a company that develops, manufactures, licenses, sells, and supports software products. The fund’s holdings of Microsoft Corporation returned approximately 36%. The Health Care sector also provided a meaningful contribution to the return of the fund, representing an average weight of approximately 12% of the fund and returning approximately 29%.
 
The Telecommunication Services sector also generated positive returns for the fund, but was the weakest contributor to the total return. Telecommunication Services stocks represented an average weight of approximately 4% of the fund and returned approximately 3%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in diversified and wireless telecommunication services. One example from this sector is NII Holdings, Inc. (Class B), a mobile communications provider for business customers in Latin America. The fund’s holdings of NII Holdings, Inc. (Class B) returned approximately -83%. Another relatively weak contributor the fund’s overall return was the Materials sector, which represented an average weight of approximately 4% of the fund and returned approximately 13%.

Schwab Fundamental US Small Company Index Fund
 
 
The Schwab Fundamental US Small Company Index Fund (the fund) seeks investment results that correspond generally (before fees and expenses) to the total return of the Russell Fundamental U.S. Small Company Index (the index), which measures the performance of the small company size segment by fundamental overall company scores that are created using as the universe the companies in the Russell 3000® Index. To pursue its investment objective, the fund uses a replication investment approach and generally gives the same weight to a given stock as does the index. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 10.99% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, while the comparative index returned 11.49%. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index. The fund also received strong cash inflows during the reporting period. On some occasions, this cash was briefly invested in Russell 2000 Index futures, and these futures lagged the return of the index during portions of the 12-month reporting period, slightly detracting from the fund’s relative performance.
 
Market Highlights. Small-cap U.S. stocks underperformed large-cap U.S. stocks, though both generated positive returns for the 12-month reporting period. The Federal Reserve left short-term interest rates historically low, making financing more affordable for businesses and households and generally supporting stocks. Despite heightened geopolitical tensions and increased market volatility, the U.S. economy rebounded over the reporting period, and forecasts for stronger earnings by select companies contributed positively to market performance.
 
Contributors and Detractors. The Financials sector was the biggest contributor to the fund’s total return. The large average weight of this sector represents part of the reason for this contribution, with Financials stocks comprising approximately 21% of the fund. The Financials sector returned approximately 15%, reflecting the overall performance of companies involved in banking, diversified financial services, insurance, and real estate. One example from this sector is Protective Life Corporation, a provider of financial services through the production, distribution, and administration of insurance and investment products. The fund’s holdings of Protective Life Corporation returned approximately 54%. The Information Technology sector was another significant contributor to the fund’s overall performance, representing an average weight of approximately 15% of the fund and returning approximately 20%.
 
The Energy sector was the only detractor from the performance of the index and the fund. Energy stocks represented an average weight of approximately 6% of the fund and returned -18%, reflecting the overall performance of companies engaged in exploration and production, refining and marketing, and storage and transportation of oil, gas, coal and consumable fuels, as well as companies that offer oil and gas equipment and services. One example from this sector is McDermott International, Inc., a worldwide energy services company. The fund’s holdings of McDermott International, Inc. returned approximately -52%. The Telecommunication Services sector generated positive returns, but was among the weakest contributors to the performance of the fund. Telecommunication Services stocks represented an average weight of less than 1% of the fund and returned approximately 26%.

Schwab Fundamental International Large Company Index Fund
 
 
The Schwab Fundamental International Large Company Index Fund (the fund) seeks investment results that correspond generally (before fees and expenses) to the total return of the Russell Fundamental Developed ex-U.S. Large Company Index (Net) (the index), which measures the performance of the large company size segment by fundamental overall company scores that is created using as the universe the companies in the Russell Developed ex-U.S. Index. To pursue its investment objective, the fund uses a replication investment approach and generally gives the same weight to a given stock as does the index. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
Performance. The fund returned 0.39% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, while the comparative index returned 0.00%. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index. Also, the fund received strong cash inflows during the reporting period, and on some occasions, this cash was briefly invested in MSCI EAFE Index futures. These futures lagged the return of the index during portions of the 12-month reporting period, slightly detracting from the fund’s relative performance. However, timing differences in foreign exchange calculations and fair valuation of the fund’s holdings enhanced the fund’s relative performance.1
 
Market Highlights. International large-cap stocks produced positive returns for the 12-month reporting period, despite continued geopolitical tensions and unsteady global economic growth. The reduction of some stimulative measures by the Federal Reserve contributed to the depreciation of many international currencies versus the U.S. dollar, generally reducing overall returns on overseas investments.
 
Contributors and Detractors. Stocks from Italy were among the biggest contributors to the returns of both the index and the fund. Italian stocks represented an average weight of approximately 5% of the fund and returned approximately 4% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market is Enel S.p.A., a company that generates, transmits, distributes, and trades electricity. The fund’s holdings of Enel S.p.A. returned approximately 19% in U.S. dollar terms. Stocks from Switzerland also contributed to the fund’s performance. Swiss stocks represented an average weight of approximately 6% of the fund and returned approximately 4% in U.S. dollar terms.
 
German stocks were among the biggest detractors from the total return of the fund. Stocks from Germany represented an average weight of approximately 9% of the fund and returned approximately -6% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market is Deutsche Bank AG, a global financial services provider. The fund’s holdings of Deutsche Bank AG returned approximately -31% in U.S. dollar terms. Stocks from Japan also performed poorly for the fund overall, representing an average weight of approximately 19% of the fund and returning less than 1% in U.S. dollar terms.

International investments are subject to additional risks such as currency fluctuation, geopolitical risk and the potential for illiquid markets.
 
1 Typically, the securities in the index are valued using foreign exchange rates obtained at the close of the London foreign currency exchange (11:00 AM EST). Securities in the fund, however, are valued using foreign exchange rates obtained at the close of the New York foreign currency exchange (4:00 PM EST). This difference in closing times can result in different foreign currency exchange rates between the two exchanges, and thus different foreign currency exchange rates used in the valuation of the index’s and fund’s securities.

Performance. The fund returned -0.07% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, while the comparative index returned -0.38%. Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index. Also, the fund received strong cash inflows during the reporting period, and on some occasions, this cash was briefly invested in MSCI EAFE Index futures and the iShares MSCI EAFE Small-Cap ETF. These securities lagged the return of the index during portions of the 12-month reporting period, slightly detracting from the fund’s relative performance. However, timing differences in foreign exchange calculations and fair valuation of the fund’s holdings enhanced the fund’s relative performance.1
 
Market Highlights. International small-cap stocks produced negative returns for the 12-month reporting period, in part due to continued geopolitical tensions and unsteady economic growth. The reduction of some stimulative measures by the Federal Reserve contributed to the depreciation of many international currencies versus the U.S. dollar, generally reducing overall returns on overseas investments.
 
Contributors and Detractors. Stocks from the United Kingdom were among the biggest contributors to the fund’s total return from a country perspective, and represented an average weight of approximately 13% of the fund. United Kingdom stocks returned approximately 4% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market is Ashtead Group plc, an international equipment rental company servicing customers in the U.S. and the United Kingdom. The fund’s holdings of Ashtead Group plc returned approximately 61% in U.S. dollar terms. Stocks from Japan also provided meaningful contributions to the fund’s performance, representing an average weight of approximately 37% of the fund and returning approximately 2% in U.S. dollar terms.
 
German stocks were among the biggest detractors from the returns of both the index and the fund. Stocks from Germany represented an average weight of approximately 4% of the fund and returned approximately -9% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market is Suedzucker AG, an operator in the traditional sugar industry in Eastern and Western Europe. The fund’s holdings of Suedzucker AG returned approximately -38% in U.S. dollar terms. Stocks from Italy also detracted from the performance of the index and the fund. Italian stocks represented an average weight of approximately 3% of the fund and returned approximately -11% in U.S. dollar terms.

Differences between the return of the fund and the return of the index may be attributable to, among other things, the operational and transactional costs incurred by the fund and not the index. Additionally, timing differences in foreign exchange calculations and fair valuation of the fund’s holdings enhanced the fund’s relative performance.1
 
Market Highlights. Emerging market stocks produced negative returns in U.S. dollar terms for the 12-month reporting period, in part due to continued geopolitical tensions and unsteady global economic growth. The reduction of some stimulative measures by the Federal Reserve contributed to the depreciation of many international currencies versus the U.S. dollar, generally reducing overall returns on overseas investments. However, continued low short-term interest rates in the U.S. helped emerging markets, as did relatively attractive stock valuations and high-profile election outcomes in several countries, including India and Indonesia.
 
Contributors and Detractors. Stocks from Taiwan were among the biggest contributors to the returns of both the index and the fund. Taiwanese stocks represented an average weight of approximately 13% of the fund and returned approximately 11% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market is Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd., a provider of electronic manufacturing services for computers, communications, and consumer electronic products. The fund’s holdings of Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd. returned approximately 42% in U.S. dollar terms. Stocks from India also contributed to the fund’s performance, representing an average weight of approximately 4% of the fund and returning approximately 30% in U.S. dollar terms.
 
Russian stocks were among the biggest detractors from the total return of the fund. Stocks from Russia represented an average weight of approximately 14% of the fund and returned approximately -24% in U.S. dollar terms. One example from this market is sponsored American depositary receipts of Gazprom OAO, a company that operates gas pipeline systems, produces and explores gas, and transports high pressure gas in the Russian Federation and European countries. The fund’s holdings of Gazprom OAO returned approximately -27% in U.S. dollar terms. Stocks from Brazil also detracted from the performance of the fund. Brazilian stocks represented an average weight of approximately 14% of the fund and returned approximately -19% in U.S. dollar terms.

International investments are subject to additional risks such as currency fluctuation, geopolitical risk and the potential for illiquid markets. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks.
 
1 Typically, the securities in the index are valued using foreign exchange rates obtained at the close of the London foreign currency exchange (11:00 AM EST). Securities in the fund, however, are valued using foreign exchange rates obtained at the close of the New York foreign currency exchange (4:00 PM EST). This difference in closing times can result in different foreign currency exchange rates between the two exchanges, and thus different foreign currency exchange rates used in the valuation of the index’s and fund’s securities.

Table of Contents

 
Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees; 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 May 1, 2014 and held through October 31, 2014.
 
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 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, such as redemption fees. 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.

1 The per share amount does not accord with the change in aggregate gains and losses in securities during the period because of the timing of fund transactions in relation to fluctuating market values.
2 The ratio of net operating expenses would have been 0.35%, if voluntary waiver by CSIM had not been included.
3 Portfolio turnover would have been 37%, if rebalancing trades had not been included due to a change in the fund’s index.

All net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) in the table above are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Operations. The change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for Level 3 investments held by the fund at October 31, 2014 was ($674,840).
 
The fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the beginning of the fiscal year. There were security transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the period ended October 31, 2014. The transfers in the amount of $4,740,156 and $4,944,549 from Level 1 to Level 2 and from Level 2 to Level 1, respectively, were primarily due to the use of international fair valuation by the fund. The transfers into Level 3 from Level 1 or Level 2 were due to the result of fair valued securities for which no quoted value was available.

All net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) in the table above are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Operations. The change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for Level 3 investments held by the fund at October 31, 2014 was ($362,722).
 
The fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the beginning of the fiscal year. There were security transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 for the period ended October 31, 2014. The transfers in the amount of $7,912,385 and $37,863,542 from Level 1 to Level 2 and from Level 2 to Level 1, respectively, were primarily due to the use of international fair valuation by the fund. The transfers into Level 3 from Level 1 or Level 2 were due to the result of fair valued securities for which no quoted value was available.

Each fund in this report offers one share class. Shares are bought and sold (subject to a redemption fee, see financial note 9) 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 market 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.
 
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: Traded securities are valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, at halfway between the most recent bid and ask quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the official closing price or the last sales price on the exchange where the securities are principally traded with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, unless these securities are fair valued as discussed below.
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when it is

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
  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. Each 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 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.
 
  •  Foreign equity security fair valuation: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value foreign equity securities that are traded in markets that close prior to the funds valuing their holdings. By fair valuing securities whose prices may have been affected by events occurring after the close of trading, each fund seeks to establish prices that investors might expect to realize upon the current sales of these securities. This methodology is designed to deter “arbitrage” market timers, who seek to exploit delays between the change in the value of a fund’s portfolio holdings and the NAV of the fund’s shares, and seeks to help ensure that the prices at which the fund’s shares are purchased and redeemed are fair and do not result in dilution of shareholder interest or other harm to shareholders. When fair value pricing is used at the open or close of a reporting period, it may cause a temporary divergence between the return of a fund and that of its comparative index or benchmark. The Board regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to these procedures.
 
  •  Futures Contracts (“futures”): Futures are valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
  •  Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs. Exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the official closing price, if applicable.
 
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 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.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments 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, ETFs and futures contracts. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, and investments in ETFs are valued daily at the last reported sale price or the official closing price, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by the underlying fund.
 
  •  Level 2 — other 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. In addition, international securities whose markets close hours before the funds value their holdings may require fair valuations due to significant movement in the U.S. markets occurring after the daily close of the foreign markets. The Board has approved a vendor that calculates fair valuations of international equity securities based on a number of factors that appear to correlate to the movements in the U.S. markets. As investments

  whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant 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.
 
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of October 31, 2014 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.
 
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
 
Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are instruments that represent an agreement between two parties that obligates one party to buy, and the other party to sell, specific instruments at an agreed upon price on a stipulated future date. A fund must give the broker a deposit of cash and/or securities (initial margin) whenever it enters into a futures contract. The amount of the deposit may vary from one contract to another. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed, at which time the gains or losses are realized. Futures are traded publicly on exchanges, and their market value may change daily.
 
Securities Lending: Under the trust’s Securities Lending Program, a fund (lender) may make short-term loans of its securities to another party (borrower) to generate additional revenue for the fund. The borrower pledges collateral in the form of cash, securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign governments, or letters of credit issued by a bank. Collateral at the individual loan level is required to be maintained on a daily marked-to-market basis in an amount at least equal to the current value of the securities loaned. The lending agent provides a fund with indemnification against borrower default (the borrower fails to return the security on loan) reducing the risk of loss as a result of default. The cash collateral of securities loaned is currently invested in money market portfolios operating under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Each fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral. The terms of the securities lending agreement allow the funds to terminate any loans at any given time. Securities lending income, as disclosed in each fund’s Statement of Operations, if applicable, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral plus any fees paid by borrowers, less the fees paid to the lending agent and broker rebates which are subject to adjustments pursuant to the securities lending agreement. On loans not collateralized by cash, a fee is received from the borrower, and is allocated between a fund and the lending agent. A fund retains the right to recall a security on loan. The aggregate market value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed one-third of the total assets of a fund, including collateral received from the loan (at market value computed at the time of the loan). Total costs and expenses, including agent fees, associated with securities lending activities under the trust’s Securities Lending Program paid to the unaffiliated lending agent are approximately 15% of the gross lending revenues.
 
The values of the securities on loan and the related collateral as of October 31, 2014, if any, are disclosed in the funds’ Portfolio Holdings. Investments of cash collateral are also disclosed in each fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
(c) Security Transactions:
 
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies,

 Schwab Fundamental Index Funds
 

 
Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the differences between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period. These realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are reported in foreign currency transactions or translations in the Statement of Operations. The funds do not isolate the portion of the fluctuations on investments resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
 
Gains realized by the funds on the sale of securities in certain foreign countries may be subject to non-U.S. taxes. In those instances, the funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.
 
When a fund closes out a futures position, it calculates the difference between the value of the position at the beginning and at the end of the contract, and records a realized gain or loss accordingly.
 
(d) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
 
Income received from foreign sources may result in withholding tax. Withholding taxes are accrued at the same time as the related income if the tax rate is fixed and known, unless a tax withheld is reclaimable from the local tax authorities in which case it is recorded as receivable. If the tax rate is not known or estimable, such expense or reclaim receivable is recorded when the net proceeds are received.
 
(e) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to all funds within the trust generally are allocated among the funds in proportion to their average daily net assets.
 
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The funds make distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
 
(g) Custody Credit:
 
Certain funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which the funds may receive a credit for their uninvested cash balance to offset their custody fees and accounting fees. The credit amounts, if any, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to a fund’s operating expenses.
 
(h) 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.
 
(i) Federal Income Taxes:
 
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
(j) Foreign Taxes:
 
The funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, corporate events, foreign currency exchanges and capital gains on investments. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in foreign markets in which the funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the funds and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Foreign taxes payable as of October 31, 2014, if any, are reflected in each fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
(k) 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. Risk Factors:
 
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
 
Market Risk. Stock markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of the investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that the investors could lose money.
 
Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
 
Tracking Error Risk. As an index fund, each fund seeks to track the performance of its comparative index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and its index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error”. Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant. For example, a fund may not invest in certain securities in the index, or match the securities’ weightings to the index, due to regulatory, operational, custodial or liquidity constraints; corporate transactions; asset valuations; transaction costs and timing; tax considerations; and index rebalancing, which may result in tracking error.
 
Investment Style Risk. Each fund invests in companies measured by its respective index. It follows these stocks during upturns as well as downturns. Because of its indexing strategy, a fund does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of a fund’s expenses, the fund’s performance may be below that of the index.
 
A significant percentage of an index may be composed of securities in a single industry or sector of the economy. If a fund is focused in an industry or sector, it may present more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy.
 
Sampling Index Tracking Risk. If a fund uses a sampling method, the fund will not fully replicate its comparative index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, the fund will be subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. If a fund utilizes a sampling approach, it may not track the return of the index as well as it would if the fund purchased all of the securities in its index.
 
Concentration Risk. To the extent that a fund’s or an index’s portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector, country, or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector, country, or asset class.
 
Large-Cap Risk. Although certain indices encompass stocks from many different sectors of the economy, their performance may primarily reflect that of large company stocks, which tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. As a result, during a period when these stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds or small company stocks, for instance — a fund’s performance also will lag those investments.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
Small-Cap Risk. Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large-cap stocks, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments — large-cap stocks, for instance — a fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
Foreign Investment Risk. A fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); 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 a fund’s investments, and could impair the fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging markets. Foreign securities also include American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”), which are depositary receipts issued by U.S. and foreign banks that represent shares of foreign-based corporations. Investments in ADRs, GDRs and EDRs may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading market; and GDRs, many of which are issued by companies in emerging markets, may be more volatile. To the extent a fund’s investments in a single country or a limited number of countries represent a larger percentage of the fund’s assets, the fund’s performance may be adversely affected by the economic, political and social conditions in those countries and it may be subject to increased price volatility.
 
Emerging Markets Risk. Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Such countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with a fund’s investments in emerging market countries and, at times, it may be difficult to value such investments.
 
ETFs Risk. A fund may purchase shares of ETFs to gain exposure to a particular portion of the market while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities directly. When a fund invests in an ETF, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a proportionate share of the ETF’s expenses. Therefore, it may be more costly to own an ETF than to own the underlying securities directly. In addition, while the risks of owning shares of an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF is designed to track, lack of liquidity in an ETF can result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio securities.
 
Derivatives Risk. A fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Certain of these risks, such as liquidity risk and market risk, are discussed elsewhere in this section. A fund’s use of derivatives is also subject to credit risk, leverage risk, lack of availability risk, valuation risk, correlation risk and tax risk. Lack of availability risk is the risk that suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivatives transaction may not fulfill its obligations. Leverage risk is the risk that a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately larger impact on a fund. Valuation risk is the risk that a particular derivative may be valued incorrectly. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Tax risk is the risk that the use of derivatives may cause a fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gain. These risks could cause a fund to lose more than the principal amount invested.
 
Liquidity Risk. A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. A fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
Security Lending Risk. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
 
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:
 
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 (“Advisory Agreement”) between CSIM and the trust.
 
For its advisory and administrative services to the funds, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on a percentage of each fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

The Board has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) on behalf of the funds. The Plan enables each fund to bear expenses relating to the provision by service providers, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (a broker-dealer affiliate of CSIM, “Schwab”), of certain account maintenance, customer liaison and shareholder services to the current shareholders of the funds. Schwab serves as the funds’ paying agent under the Plan for making payments of the shareholder service fee due to the service providers (other than Schwab). All shareholder service fees paid by the funds to Schwab in its capacity as the funds’ paying agent will be passed through to the service providers, and Schwab will not retain any portion of such fees.
 
Pursuant to the Plan, each fund’s shares are subject to an annual shareholder servicing fee up to 0.10%. The shareholder servicing fee paid to a particular service provider is made pursuant to its written agreement with Schwab (or, in the case of payments made to Schwab, pursuant to Schwab’s written agreement with the funds). Payments under the Plan are made as described above regardless of Schwab’s or the service provider’s actual cost of providing the services. If the cost of providing the services under the Plan is less than the payments received, the unexpended portion of the fees may be retained as profit by Schwab or the service provider.
 
Although these agreements specify certain fees for these services, CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the funds, 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”). The expense limitation as a percentage of average daily net assets is as follows:

CSIM has a licensing agreement with the Frank Russell Company to use certain Russell indices and trademarks in connection with the offering and operation of certain registered investment companies. The funds have entered into a sub-license agreement with CSIM pursuant to which CSIM has agreed to sub-license certain Russell indices and trademarks to the funds. Under the sub-license agreement, each fund pays its pro rata share of licensing fees.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other Schwab Funds. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes only. The interest rate to be charged on a loan is the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. 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 a 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:
 
The funds have access to custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street, an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. and an uncommitted line of credit of $50 million with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The funds pay interest on the amounts they borrow at rates that are negotiated periodically. The funds also pay an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit.
 
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the funds during the period. However, the funds may have utilized their overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on a fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.
 
7. Derivatives:
 
Certain funds entered into equity index futures contracts during the report period. The funds invested in futures to equitize available cash. The fair value and variation margin for futures contracts held at October 31, 2014 are presented on the Portfolio Holdings and Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively. The net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are presented on the Statement of Operations. Refer to financial note 2(b) for the funds’ accounting policies with respect to futures contracts and financial note 3 for disclosures concerning the risks of investing in futures contracts. During the period, the month-end average contract values of futures contracts held by the funds and the month-end average number of contracts held were as follows:

  As a result of the passage of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“RIC”), capital losses incurred after December 31, 2010 may now be carried forward indefinitely, but must retain the character of the original loss. However, such losses must be utilized prior to the pre-enactment capital losses, which may increase the likelihood that the pre-enactment capital losses may expire unused. Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital loss, irrespective of the character of the original loss.
 
For the year ended October 31, 2014, the funds had capital loss carryforwards utilized as follows:

Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses, short-term capital gains and losses, capital losses related to wash sales, unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities, and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.

Permanent book and tax basis differences, which are mainly due to differing treatments of paydown gains and losses and amortization of bond discounts and premiums, 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 October 31, 2014, the funds made the following reclassifications:

As of October 31, 2014, 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 period ended October 31, 2014, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
 
11. Other:
 
As a result of recent political and military actions undertaken by the Russian Federation, the U.S. and the European Union have instituted various economic sanctions against Russian individuals and entities. The U.S. and/or the European Union may impose additional economic sanctions, or take other actions, against individuals and/or companies in specific sectors of the Russian economy, including, but not limited to, the financial services, energy, metals and mining, engineering, and defense and defense- related materials sectors. These sanctions, and the threat of additional sanctions, could have adverse consequences for the Russian economy, including continued weakening of the Russian currency, downgrades in Russia’s credit rating, and a significant decline in the value and liquidity of securities issued by Russian companies or the Russian government. Any of these events could negatively impact a fund’s investment in Russian securities. These sanctions have the possibility of impairing a fund’s ability to invest in accordance with its investment strategy and/or to meet its investment objective.
 
In addition, as index based products, the funds will generally maintain exposure to Russian securities to the extent the indexes which they track include such securities. For this reason, the sanction instituted against Russia, and any continued disruption of the Russian economy, could negatively impact a fund’s performance to the extent its index and its portfolio contain securities of Russian issuers, and, depending on the fund’s exposure to Russian issuers, the impact could be significant.
 
12. Subsequent Events:
 
Management has determined there are no subsequent events or transactions through the date of the financial statements were issued that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the condensed portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Schwab Fundamental US Large Company Index Fund, Schwab Fundamental US Small Company Index Fund, Schwab Fundamental International Large Company Index Fund, Schwab Fundamental International Small Company Index Fund and Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index Fund (five of the funds constituting Schwab Capital Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2014, and the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
 
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a fund’s investment advisory agreement 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.
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement between Schwab Capital Trust (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) (the “Agreement”) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab Fundamental U.S. Large Company Index Fund, Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company Index Fund, Schwab Fundamental International Large Company Index Fund, Schwab Fundamental International Small Company Index Fund and Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index Fund (the “Funds”), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. As part of the renewal process, Independent Trustees’ legal counsel sends an information request letter to CSIM seeking certain relevant information. The responses by CSIM are provided to the Trustees for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees are provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Funds that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
 
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Funds at meetings held on April 30, 2014, and June 3, 2014, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 3, 2014. The Board’s approval of the Agreement with respect to the Funds was based on consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
 
1.  the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds;
 
2.  each Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds;
 
3.  each Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds;
 
4.  the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to each Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
 
5.  the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels in the Agreement reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered investments in CSIM’s mutual fund infrastructure, Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as free advice, investment and research tools, Internet access, and an array of account features that benefit the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s excellent reputation as a full service brokerage firm and its overall financial condition. Finally, the Trustees considered that many of the Funds’ shareholders are also brokerage clients of Schwab. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Fund Performance. The Board considered Fund performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Funds. Specifically, the Trustees considered each Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return, and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Trustees considered both risk and

shareholder risk expectations for such Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of each Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of its review of Fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below. Although Schwab Fundamental International Large Company Index Fund, Schwab Fundamental International Small Company Index Fund and Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index Fund had performance that lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain (although not necessarily all) periods considered, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreement with respect Schwab Fundamental International Large Company Index Fund, Schwab Fundamental International Small Company Index Fund and Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index Fund, including that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions by CSIM that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies and that CSIM had taken steps designed to help improve performance. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Funds supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Funds’ expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement, and each Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of a peer group of mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s historical practice of voluntarily waiving management and other fees to prevent total Fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered CSIM’s contractual commitment to keep each Fund’s expense cap for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to such Fund. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Funds are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Funds, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Funds, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to each Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to a Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of Fund expenses, the Trustees considered that CSIM and Schwab have committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. For example, such diseconomies of scale may particularly affect newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. The Trustees also considered the existing contractual investment advisory fee schedules relating to the Funds that, in each case, include lower fees at higher graduated asset levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Funds obtain reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
 
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Funds and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Funds is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

Glossary
 
 
asset allocation The practice of dividing a portfolio among different asset classes, with each asset class assigned a particular percentage.
 
asset class A group of securities with similar structure and basic characteristics. Stocks, bonds and cash are the three main examples of asset classes.
 
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index A broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-back securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM passthroughs), asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
 
Barclays U.S. Treasury Bills 1 − 3 Months Index An index that includes all publicly issued zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Bills that have a remaining maturity of less than 3 months and more than 1 month, are rated investment grade, and have $250 million or more of outstanding face value.
 
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 fund A bond fund is subject to the same credit, interest rate, and inflation risks as bonds. In addition, a bond fund incurs ongoing fees and expenses. A bond fund’s net asset value will fluctuate with the price of the underlying bonds and the portfolio turnover activity; return of principal is not guaranteed.
 
cap, capitalization See “market cap.”
 
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 capital gain or loss is considered unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
 
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.

* Effective February 28, 2014, the fund changed its comparative index, for purposes of performance calculation, from MSCI EAFE Index (Gross) to MSCI EAFE Index (Net). The Net version of the index more accurately reflects how dividends paid to the fund on its foreign securities are treated for tax purposes, and provides a better basis for comparing the fund’s performance. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes.

The total return presented in the above table is calculated based on the NAV at which shareholder transactions were processed. The total return presented in the Financial Highlights section of the report is calculated in the same manner, but also takes into account certain adjustments that are necessary under generally accepted accounting principles required in the annual and semi-annual reports.

From the President
 

CHANDOHA PHOTO
 
Marie Chandoha is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the funds covered in this report.

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
For 25 years, Charles Schwab Investment Management has been committed to building funds that are designed to serve as part of the foundation of an investor’s portfolio. Our Laudus MarketMasters Funds combine complementary strategies from leading investment managers into single funds, with each providing diversification across multiple investment styles.
 
For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund generated a positive return, while underperforming its comparative index due to manager underperformance in small-cap growth strategies. The Laudus International MarketMasters Fund produced a negative return, underperforming its comparative index in part because of manager underperformance in small-cap international stock strategies.
 
In the U.S., some signs of economic improvement led the Federal Reserve to wind down its quantitative easing policies aimed at holding down long-term interest rates. This contrasted with efforts by the Bank of Japan and many other overseas central banks, which maintained low interest rates to stimulate lackluster economic growth in their countries. This difference in policies caused the yen and other foreign currencies to depreciate versus the U.S. dollar, reducing international stocks returns in U.S. dollar terms. Political unrest between Russia and the Ukraine and heightened market volatility also reduced the performance of international investments.

From the President continued
 

For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund generated a positive return, while underperforming its comparative index due to manager underperformance in small-cap growth strategies. The Laudus International MarketMasters Fund produced a negative return, underperforming its comparative index in part because of manager underperformance in small-cap international stock strategies.

 
Amid this backdrop, large-cap stocks outperformed small-cap stocks, while U.S. stocks outperformed stocks in many developed international markets. In addition, value stocks narrowly outperformed growth stocks in the U.S., as market volatility rose toward the end of the reporting period. Reflecting this environment, the Russell 2000 Index returned 8.1%, while the MSCI EAFE Index, which broadly represents the performance of international stocks, returned -0.6%.1
 
For more information about the Laudus MarketMasters Funds, please continue reading this report. In addition, you can find out more details about these funds by visiting www.laudus.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-800-435-4000.
 
Sincerely,
 
Sincerely,

Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund™
 
 
The Laudus MarketMasters Funds use a multi-manager strategy. Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM)—the funds’ investment adviser—selects investment professionals with strong long-term track records to manage a portion of each fund’s assets. In addition to selecting investment sub-advisers and allocating assets among them, CSIM is responsible for monitoring and coordinating the overall management of the funds. Each sub-adviser manages its respective portfolio relative to a comparative index that reflects its individual process and philosophy. The sub-adviser indexes may differ from a fund’s comparative index.
 
Performance. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, Investor Shares of the Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund (the fund) returned 4.28%. The fund’s comparative index, the Russell 2000 Index (the index), returned 8.06%.
 
Market Highlights. Small-cap U.S. stocks generated positive returns but underperformed large-cap stocks for the reporting period, while U.S. stocks in general were helped by rebounding economic growth, favorable earnings reports by select companies, and continued low short-term interest rates. This helped several large-cap U.S. stock market indices reach record highs, even as market volatility increased. In addition, with the U.S. economy improving, the Federal Reserve wrapped up its quantitative easing policies aimed at holding down long-term interest rates, while providing assurances that low short-term interest rates remain necessary.
 
Positioning and Strategies. Over the 12-month reporting period, the fund’s value tilt slightly detracted from performance, although this was partially offset by the fund’s allocation to one of its better performing sub-advisers. However, overall manager selection detracted due to the underperformance of two of the fund’s sub-advisers relative to their respective comparative indexes.
 
The fund’s TAMRO Capital Partners allocation sharply underperformed its comparative index, the Russell 2000 Index, and detracted from the fund’s relative performance. TAMRO’s underperformance was primarily due to its stock selection, most significantly in the Consumer Staples, Information Technology, and Industrials sectors. As of September 30, 2014, TAMRO was eliminated as an investment manager for the Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund, and the fund’s allocations to other investment managers were increased.
 
A strong performance of the fund’s allocation to Wellington Management Company, LLP contributed to the fund’s total return, and this allocation’s outperformance of its comparative index also enhanced the fund’s relative return. This outperformance was partially driven by a significant overweight in the Health Care sector and, to a lesser extent Information Technology, although underweights in the Financials and Utilities sectors detracted from performance. Wellington Management’s stock selection also contributed positively, most notably within the Information Technology and Health Care sectors, but reduced performance in Financials and Materials.
 
BMO Asset Management, which uses a bottom-up fundamental approach to search for stocks exhibiting strong and improving growth characteristics, underperformed its comparative index, detracting from the fund’s relative performance. BMO’s strongest detractors came from its stock selection among Energy and Consumer Staples stocks, although its stock selection among Health Care and Materials contributed positively.

Table of Contents

 
Laudus International MarketMasters Fund™
 
 
The Laudus MarketMasters Funds use a multi-manager strategy. Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM)—the funds’ investment adviser—selects investment professionals with strong long-term track records to manage a portion of each fund’s assets. In addition to selecting investment sub-advisers and allocating assets among them, CSIM is responsible for monitoring and coordinating the overall management of the funds. Each sub-adviser manages its respective portfolio relative to a comparative index that reflects its individual process and philosophy. The sub-adviser indexes may differ from a fund’s comparative index.
 
Performance. For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2014, Investor Shares of the Laudus International MarketMasters Fund (the fund) returned -1.73%, underperforming its comparative index, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net) (the index), which returned -0.60%.
 
Market Highlights. A strong performance by the U.S. dollar was a key reason for the lackluster returns of international stocks. Slow economic growth overseas convinced the Bank of Japan, European Central Bank, and other central banks to try to keep interest rates low, even as the Federal Reserve scaled back its quantitative easing policies aimed at holding down long-term interest rates. These differing policies led to the depreciation of many foreign currencies, reducing the returns of international stocks in U.S. dollar terms.
 
Positioning and Strategies. Over the 12-month reporting period, the fund’s growth allocations generally enhanced relative performance, although allocations to value managers partially offset these results. In addition, the fund’s manager selection subtracted value as a result of weak performance by some of the fund’s sub-advisers, although other sub-advisers positively contributed to performance.
 
WHV Investment Management, which takes a top-down sector allocation approach and focuses on long-term growth cycle trends, underperformed its comparative index and reduced the fund’s relative performance. As of March 5, 2014, WHV was eliminated as a sub-adviser, and the fund’s allocations to other investment managers were increased.
 
Harris Associates, with its large-cap value focus, was another sub-adviser that underperformed its comparative index, notably detracting from the fund’s relative performance. Harris Associates’ stock selections within the United Kingdom and the Netherlands were some of the biggest detractors from the fund’s performance, while stock selection in the Industrials and Consumer Discretionary sectors also reduced the fund’s relative return. By comparison, stock selection in Italy, Germany, and Australia, as well as in the Materials sector, worked out much better.
 
Mondrian Investment Partners, which uses a value-oriented investment approach, also underperformed its comparative index. Mondrian’s relative results were driven in part by stock selection in the Industrials sector, as well as in Singapore, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Overweight positions in Singapore and the United Kingdom compounded these negative results. Stock selection in the Information Technology and Materials sectors enhanced the fund’s performance, as did stock selection in Canada and France.
 
William Blair & Company, which takes an all-cap growth approach, outperformed its comparative index and contributed positively to the fund’s relative performance. William Blair & Company’s biggest contribution came from strong stock selection, particularly among equities from the Health Care, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Stock selection in the United Kingdom also helped. Less successful efforts included stock selection in the Energy sector, which reduced relative performance, although an underweight to the sector helped to limit the negative effects. Stock selection in Japan also reduced the fund’s relative return, as did selection in the Materials and Consumer Staples sectors, although an underweight to the Materials sector helped.
 
American Century, with its focus on small-cap growth stocks, was another sub-adviser that outperformed its comparative index. American Century’s greatest contribution came from its stock selection, particularly in the Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors, and in Denmark and India. However, stock selection in the Industrials sector and in the United Kingdom and Spain dragged on performance. Stock selection in the Energy sector also reduced American Century’s relative performance, although an underweight to this sector helped limit the negative impact.

All total returns on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. Index figures do not include trading and management costs, which would lower performance. Indices are unmanaged, and you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized.
 
For index definitions, please see the Glossary.
 
The fund’s performance relative to the index may be affected by fair-value pricing. See financial note 2 for more information.
 
* Total return for the report period presented in the table differs from the return in the Financial Highlights. The total return presented in the above table is calculated based on the NAV at which shareholder transactions were processed. The total return presented in the Financial Highlights section of the report is calculated in the same manner, but also takes into account certain adjustments that are necessary under generally accepted accounting principles required in the annual and semi-annual reports.
1 Fund expenses may have been partially absorbed by CSIM and its affiliates. Without these reductions, the fund’s returns would have been lower. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
2 Source for category information: Morningstar, Inc. The Morningstar Category return represents all active and index mutual funds within the category as of the report date.
3 Effective February 28, 2014, the fund changed its comparative index, for purposes of performance calculation, from MSCI EAFE Index (Gross) to MSCI EAFE Index (Net). The Net version of the index more accurately reflects how dividends paid to the fund on its foreign securities are treated for tax purposes, and provides a better basis for comparing the fund’s performance. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes.
4 As stated in the prospectus. Net Expense: Expenses reduced by a contractual fee waiver in effect for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to the fund. Gross Expense: Does not reflect the effect of contractual fee waivers. For actual ratios during the period, refer to the financial highlights section of the financial statements.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees; 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 May 1, 2014 and held through October 31, 2014.
 
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, such as redemption fees. 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.

All net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) in the table above are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Operations. The change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for Level 3 investments held by the fund at October 31, 2014 was ($62,493).
 
The fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the beginning of the fiscal year. There were security transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 for the period ended October 31, 2014. The transfers in the amount of $41,674,776 and $9,776,880 from Level 1 to Level 2 and from Level 2 to Level 1, respectively, were primarily due to the use of international fair valuation by the fund. The transfers into Level 3 from Level 1 or Level 2 were due to the result of fair valued securities for which no quoted value was available.

Each of the Laudus MarketMasters Funds offers two share classes: Investor Shares and Select Shares®. Shares of each class represent an interest in the same portfolio, but each class has different expenses and investment minimums.
 
Shares are bought and sold (subject to a redemption fee, see financial note 9) at closing net asset value per share (“NAV”), which is the price for all outstanding shares of a fund or share class, as applicable. 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 market 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.
 
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: Traded securities are valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, at halfway between the most recent bid and ask quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the official closing price or the last sales price on the exchange where the securities are principally traded with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, unless these securities are fair valued as discussed below.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a 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. Each 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 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.
 
  •  Foreign equity security fair valuation: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value foreign equity securities that are traded in markets that close prior to the funds valuing their holdings. By fair valuing securities whose prices may have been affected by events occurring after the close of trading, each fund seeks to establish prices that investors might expect to realize upon the current sales of these securities. This methodology is designed to deter “arbitrage” market timers, who seek to exploit delays between the change in the value of a fund’s portfolio holdings and the NAV of the fund’s shares, and seeks to help ensure that the prices at which the fund’s shares are purchased and redeemed are fair and do not result in dilution of shareholder interest or other harm to shareholders. When fair value pricing is used at the open or close of a reporting period, it may cause a temporary divergence between the return of a fund and that of its comparative index or benchmark. The Board regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to these procedures.
 
  •  Futures contracts (“futures”) and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forwards”): Futures are valued at their settlement prices as of the close of their exchanges. Forwards are valued based on that day’s forward exchange rates or by using an interpolated forward exchange rate for contracts with interim settlement dates.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
  •  Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs. Exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the official closing price, if applicable.
 
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 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.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments 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, ETFs and futures contracts. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, and investments in ETFs are valued daily at the last reported sale price or the official closing price, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by the underlying fund.
 
  •  Level 2 — other 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. In addition, international securities whose markets close hours before the funds value their holdings may require fair valuations due to significant movement in the U.S. markets occurring after the daily close of the foreign markets. The Board has approved a vendor that calculates fair valuations of international equity securities based on a number of factors that appear to correlate to the movements in the U.S. markets. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant 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.
 
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of October 31, 2014 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.
 
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):
 
Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are instruments that represent an agreement between two parties that obligates one party to buy, and the other party to sell, specific instruments at an agreed upon price on a stipulated future date. A fund must give the broker a deposit of cash and/or securities (initial margin) whenever it enters into a futures contract. The amount of the deposit may vary from one contract to another. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed, at which time the gains or losses are realized. Futures are traded publicly on exchanges, and their market value may change daily.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Forwards are contracts to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The value of the forwards is accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contracts settle, at which time the gains or losses are realized.
 
(c) Security Transactions:
 
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies, including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the differences between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period. These realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are reported in foreign currency transactions or translations in the Statement of Operations. The funds do not isolate the portion of the fluctuations on investments resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
Gains realized by the funds on the sale of securities in certain foreign countries may be subject to non-U.S. taxes. In those instances, the funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.
 
When a fund closes out a futures or forward position, it calculates the difference between the value of the position at the beginning and at the end of the contract, and records a realized gain or loss accordingly.
 
(d) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
 
Income received from foreign sources may result in withholding tax. Withholding taxes are accrued at the same time as the related income if the tax rate is fixed and known, unless a tax withheld is reclaimable from the local tax authorities in which case it is recorded as receivable. If the tax rate is not known or estimable, such expense or reclaim receivable is recorded when the net proceeds are received.
 
(e) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to all funds within the trust generally are allocated among the funds in proportion to their average daily net assets.
 
For funds offering multiple share classes, the net investment income, other than class specific expenses, and the realized and unrealized gains or losses, are allocated daily to each class in proportion to their average daily net assets.
 
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The funds make distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
 
(g) Custody Credit:
 
The funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which the funds may receive a credit for their uninvested cash balance to offset their custody fees and accounting fees. The credit amounts, if any, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to the funds’ operating expenses.
 
(h) Accounting Estimates:
 
The accounting policies described in this report conform 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.
 
(i) Federal Income Taxes:
 
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
 
(j) Foreign Taxes:
 
The funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, corporate events, foreign currency exchanges and capital gains on investments. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in foreign markets in which the funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the funds and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Foreign taxes payable as of October 31, 2014, if any, are reflected in each fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
(k) 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. Risk Factors:
 
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
 
Market Risk. Stock markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of the investment in a fund will fluctuate, which means that investors could lose money.
 
Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
 
Investment Style Risk. The funds’ investment managers attempt to reduce the impact of the performance of any given investment style by investing in both value and growth style stocks. But whenever value stocks fall out of favor with investors, they may underperform growth stocks, and vice versa.
 
Small-Cap Risk. Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments - large-cap and mid-cap stocks, for instance - a fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
Large- and Mid-Cap Risk. Both large- and mid-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. However, stocks of mid-cap companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks fall behind other types of investments - bonds and small-cap stocks, for instance - a fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
Management Risk. As with all actively managed funds, the investment strategies of each fund’s managers — its investment adviser and investment sub-advisers — may not achieve their desired results.
 
Foreign Investment Risk. A fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); 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 a fund’s investments, and could impair the fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategies.
 
Emerging Market Risk. Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Such countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements and unreliable securities valuation and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with a fund’s investments in emerging market countries, and at times, it may be difficult to value such investments.
 
Currency Risk. As a result of a fund’s investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies, the fund will be subject to currency risk. This is the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. If such an event occurs, the dollar value of an investment in the fund would be adversely affected.
 
Derivatives Risk. A fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Certain of these risks, such as liquidity risk and market risk, are discussed elsewhere in this section. A fund’s use of derivatives is also subject to credit risk, leverage risk, lack of

Financial Notes (continued)
 
3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
availability risk, valuation risk, correlation risk and tax risk. Lack of availability risk is the risk that suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivatives transaction may not fulfill its obligations. Leverage risk is the risk that a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately larger impact on a fund. Valuation risk is the risk that a particular derivative may be valued incorrectly. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Tax risk is the risk that the use of derivatives may cause a fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gain. These risks could cause a fund to lose more than the principal amount invested.
 
Multi-Manager Risk. Although CSIM monitors and seeks to coordinate the overall management of a fund, each investment manager makes investment decisions independently, and it is possible that the investment styles of the investment managers may not complement one another. As a result, a fund’s exposure to a given stock, industry or investment style could unintentionally be smaller or larger than if a fund had a single manager.
 
Liquidity Risk. A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. A fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
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:
 
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 (“Advisory Agreement”) between CSIM and the trust.
 
For its advisory and administrative services to the funds, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on a percentage of each fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
                 
    Laudus Small-Cap
  Laudus International
% of Average Daily Net Assets
 
MarketMasters Fund

$500 million to $1 billion
    1.13%       1.275%  
Over $1 billion
    1.07%       1.25%  
 
The Board has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) on behalf of the funds. The Plan enables each fund to bear expenses relating to the provision by service providers, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (a broker-dealer affiliate of CSIM, “Schwab”), of certain account maintenance, customer liaison and shareholder services to the current shareholders of the funds. Schwab serves as the funds’ paying agent under the Plan for making payments of the shareholder service fee due to the service providers (other than Schwab). All shareholder service fees paid by the funds to Schwab in its capacity as the funds’ paying agent will be passed through to the service providers, and Schwab will not retain any portion of such fees.
 
Pursuant to the Plan, each fund’s shares are subject to an annual shareholder servicing fee up to 0.25% for Investor Shares and 0.20% for Select Shares. The shareholder servicing fee paid to a particular service provider is made pursuant to its written agreement with Schwab (or, in the case of payments made to Schwab, pursuant to Schwab’s written agreement with the funds). Payments under the Plan are made as described above regardless of Schwab’s or the service provider’s actual cost of providing the services. If the cost of providing the services under the Plan is less than the payments received, the unexpended portion of the fees may be retained as profit by Schwab or the service provider.
 
Although these agreements specify certain fees for these services, CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the funds, 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”). The expense limitation as a percentage of average daily net assets is as follows:

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other Schwab Funds. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes only. The interest rate to be charged on a loan is the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. 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 a 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:
 
The funds have access to custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street, an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. and an uncommitted line of credit of $50 million with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The funds pay interest on the amounts they borrow at rates that are negotiated periodically. The funds also pay an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit.
 
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the funds during the period. However, the funds may have utilized their overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on a fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.
 
7. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:

8. Derivatives (continued):
 
The funds’ forwards are entered into pursuant to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) agreements which govern certain terms of derivative transactions. ISDA agreements typically contain, among other things, master netting provisions in the event of a default or other termination event. Master netting provisions allow the funds and the counterparty, in the event of a default or other termination event, to offset payable and receivable amounts for each party related to derivative contracts to one net amount payable by either the funds or the counterparty. The Laudus International MarketMasters Fund’s forwards, which are reported gross in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, are presented in the table below. The following table presents the fund’s forwards, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and net of any related collateral received by the fund for assets and pledged by the fund for liabilities as of October 31, 2014.

The primary differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation or unrealized depreciation of investments are Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFIC), Partnerships and the tax deferral of losses on wash sale.
 
Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of October 31, 2014, the funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net capital gains before the expiration dates as follows:

Qualified late-year losses are certain capital and ordinary losses which occur during the portion of a fund’s taxable year subsequent to October 31. A fund may elect to treat any portion of qualified late-year losses as arising during the first day of the next taxable year. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the funds had late-year ordinary losses deferred and capital loss carryforwards utilized as follows:

Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses, short-term capital gains and losses, capital losses related to wash sales, unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities, and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.
 
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 October 31, 2014, the funds made the following reclassifications:

As of October 31, 2014, 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 the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of:
Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund
Laudus International MarketMasters Fund
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund and Laudus International MarketMasters Fund (two of the funds constituting Schwab Capital Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2014, and the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Renewal of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements between Schwab Capital Trust (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund and Laudus International MarketMasters Fund (the “Funds”), and the individual sub-advisory agreements between CSIM and BMO Asset Management Corp., Mellon Capital Management Corp. (“Mellon”), TAMRO Capital Partners, LLC and Wellington Management Company LLP relating to Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund; and CSIM and American Century Investment Management, Inc., Harris Associates L.P., Mellon, Mondrian Investment Partners Limited and William Blair & Company, LLC, relating to the Laudus International Market-Masters Fund (collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”). Such investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreements”. The Trustees also review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM and the Sub-Advisers, including information about their affiliates, personnel and operations. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Funds that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM. The Board also discusses with CSIM the Funds’ operations and CSIM’s ability, consistent with the “manager of managers” structure of each of the Funds to (i) identify and recommend to the Trustees sub-advisers for each Fund, (ii) monitor and oversee the performance and investment capabilities of each sub-adviser, and (iii) recommend the replacement of a sub-adviser when appropriate. As part of the renewal process, Independent Trustees’ legal counsel sends an information request letter to CSIM and CSIM sends an information request letter to each of the Sub-Advisers seeking certain relevant information. The responses by CSIM and the Sub-Advisers are provided to the Trustees for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees are provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials.
 
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreements with respect to the Funds at meetings held on April 30, 2014, and June 3, 2014, and approved the renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 3, 2014. The Board’s approval of the Agreements with respect to the Funds was based on consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
 
1.  the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates, and the Sub-Advisers, dedicated to the Funds;
 
2.  each Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds;
 
3.  each Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds, and other types of accounts;
 
4.  the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to each Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates, as well as the profitability of the Sub-Advisers; and
 
5.  the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels in the Agreements reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered investments in CSIM’s mutual fund infrastructure, Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as free advice, investment and research tools, Internet access, and an array of account features that benefit the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s excellent reputation as a full service brokerage firm and its overall financial condition. In addition, the Trustees considered that many of the Funds’ shareholders are also brokerage clients of Schwab. The Board also considered the nature, extent and quality of the sub-advisory services provided by the Sub-Advisers to the Funds and the resources each dedicates to the Funds. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM and the Sub-Advisers

to the Funds and the resources of CSIM, and its affiliates, and the Sub-Advisers dedicated to the Funds supported renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds.
 
Fund Performance. The Board considered Fund performance in determining whether to renew the Agreements with respect to the Funds. Specifically, the Trustees considered each Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/ benchmarks, in light of total return, and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Trustees considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for such Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of each Fund. In addition, the Trustees considered whether irrespective of relative performance, each Sub-Adviser’s absolute performance was consistent with expectations for such Sub-Adviser’s unique investment methodology. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of its review of Fund expenses and adviser and Sub-Adviser profitability discussed below. Although the Funds had performance that lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain (although not necessarily all) periods considered, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds, including that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions by CSIM that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies and that CSIM and the Sub-Advisers had taken steps designed to help improve performance. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Funds supported renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds.
 
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Funds’ expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreements, and each Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of a peer group of mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s historical practice of voluntarily waiving management and other fees to prevent total Fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered CSIM’s contractual commitment to keep each Fund’s expense cap for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to such Fund. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM and the Sub-Advisers to other mutual funds, and to other types of accounts, such as separate accounts, pooled vehicles, wrap accounts and offshore funds, but, with respect to such other types of accounts, accorded less weight to such comparisons due to the different legal, regulatory, compliance and operating features of mutual funds as compared to these other types of accounts. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Funds are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds.
 
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Funds, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Funds, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. With respect to CSIM, the Trustees considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability under the Agreements and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to each Fund by CSIM, and its respective affiliates. The Trustees also considered the compensation flowing to the Sub-Advisers, directly or indirectly. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by the Sub-Advisers from their relationship with the Funds, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Funds, any Sub-Adviser obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. With respect to the Sub-Advisers, the Trustees considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability under the Agreements and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to each Fund by the Sub-Advisers, and their respective affiliates. The Board also considered the profitability of the Sub-Advisers with respect to the sub-advisory services they provide to the Funds, although, when doing so, the Board took into account the fact that the Sub-Advisers are compensated by CSIM, and not by the Funds directly, and such compensation with respect to any Sub-Adviser reflects an arms-length negotiation between the Sub-Adviser and CSIM. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM and the Sub-Advisers is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds.
 
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to a Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of Fund expenses, the Trustees considered that CSIM and Schwab have committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. For example, such diseconomies of scale may particularly affect newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. The Trustees also considered the existing contractual investment advisory fee schedules

relating to the Funds that, in each case, include lower fees at higher graduated asset levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Funds obtain reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
 
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreements with respect to the Funds and concluded that the compensation under the Agreements with respect to the Funds is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

asset allocation The practice of dividing a portfolio among different asset classes, with each asset class assigned a particular percentage.
 
asset class A group of securities with similar structure and basic characteristics. Stocks, bonds and cash are the three main examples of asset classes.
 
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index A broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-back securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM passthroughs), asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
 
Barclays U.S. Treasury Bills 1 − 3 Months Index An index that includes all publicly issued zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Bills that have a remaining maturity of less than 3 months and more than 1 month, are rated investment grade, and have $250 million or more of outstanding face value.
 
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 fund A bond fund is subject to the same credit, interest rate, and inflation risks as bonds. In addition, a bond fund incurs ongoing fees and expenses. A bond fund’s net asset value will fluctuate with the price of the underlying bonds and the portfolio turnover activity; return of principal is not guaranteed.
 
cap, capitalization See “market cap.”
 
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 capital gain or loss is considered unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
 
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.
 
market cap, market capitalization The value of a company as determined by the total value of all shares of its stock outstanding.
 
MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes; returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
 
net asset value (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.
 
outstanding shares, shares outstanding When speaking of a company or mutual fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.
 
price-to-book ratio (P/B)  The market price of a company’s stock compared with its “book value.” A mutual fund’s P/B is the weighted average of the P/B of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
 
price-to-earnings ratio (P/E)  The market price of a company’s stock compared with earnings over the past year. A mutual fund’s P/E is the weighted average of the P/E of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
 
restricted and illiquid securities Restricted securities are securities that are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of1933 (the “1933 Act”), or in a registered public offering. Certain restricted securities, such as Section 4(a)(2) commercial paper and Rule 144A securities under the 1933 Act, may be considered to be liquid if they meet the criteria for liquidity established by the Board. Illiquid securities generally are any securities that cannot be disposed of promptly and in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which a fund has valued the instruments. The liquidity of a fund’s investments is monitored under the supervision and direction of the Board. Investments currently not considered liquid include repurchase agreements not maturing within seven days and certain restricted securities.
 
return on equity (ROE) The average yearly rate of return for each dollar of investors’ money, measured over the past five years.
 
Russell 2000 Index An index that measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes approximately 2000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership.
 
S&P 500 Index A market capitalization index that is designed to measure the performance of 500 leading publicly held companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy.
 
stock A share of ownership, or equity, in the issuing company.
 
total return The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.
 
weighted average For mutual funds, an average that gives the same weight to each security as the security represents in the fund’s portfolio.
 
yield The income paid out by an investment, expressed as a percentage of the investment’s market value.

From the President
 

CHANDOHA PHOTO
 
Marie Chandoha is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the funds covered in this report.

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
For 25 years, Charles Schwab Investment Management has been committed to building funds that are designed to serve as the foundation of an investor’s portfolio. Within each of our Schwab Target Funds is a mix of active, passive, proprietary, and third-party strategies, seeking to provide diversification. The funds are professionally managed according to projected retirement dates, and rebalanced to become more conservative as a target date approaches and beyond.
 
For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the funds generated positive returns that generally tracked their comparative indices. In the U.S., generally favorable corporate earnings reports and easy monetary policy continued to support U.S. stocks, helping them overcome geopolitical tensions and increased market volatility. Meanwhile, the resilient U.S. bond market provided modest returns, even as interest rates remained historically low. Reflecting this backdrop, the S&P 500 Index returned 17.3%, while the broad U.S. bond market returned 4.1%, as represented by the performance of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
 
Economic growth generally stalled outside the U.S. This convinced the Bank of Japan and many other overseas central banks to maintain low interest rates, even as the Fed wrapped up its quantitative easing policies aimed at holding down long-term interest rates. In response to these policy differences, the yen and many other foreign currencies depreciated versus the U.S. dollar, reducing

Schwab Target 2010 Fund
 
 
The Schwab Target 2010 Fund (the 2010 Fund) seeks to provide capital appreciation and income consistent with its current asset allocation, and seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a combination of other Schwab Funds and Laudus Funds. The 2010 Fund may also invest in unaffiliated third-party mutual funds. The target asset allocation is adjusted annually by the investment adviser; as of the last annual adjustment on January 7, 2014, the 2010 Fund’s asset allocation was approximately 38.5% equity securities, 55.0% fixed income securities, and 6.5% cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds). (For portfolio allocations as of the end of this reporting period, please see the 2010 Fund’s Portfolio Holdings included in this report.)
 
Performance. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the 2010 Fund returned 6.08%. The 2010 Fund’s internally calculated comparative index, the Target 2010 Composite Index (the composite index), returned 6.33%.
 
Market Highlights. Large-cap U.S. stocks enjoyed strong gains during the 12-month reporting period, while small-cap stocks underperformed by comparison, and U.S. economic activity rebounded. Lackluster economic growth outside the U.S. resulted in overseas central banks keeping interest rates low, even as the Federal Reserve shifted its stance regarding long-term interest rates. Many foreign currencies fell versus the U.S. dollar as a result, reducing returns on international investments in U.S. dollar terms.
 
Positioning and Strategies. The 2010 Fund’s asset allocations were broadly in line with those of the composite index over the reporting period.
 
At an asset-class level, the 2010 Fund’s U.S. equity exposures provided the greatest contribution to total return, with all positions generating positive returns. The top contributor was the Schwab Core Equity Fund, which was the 2010 Fund’s largest U.S. equity allocation. The Laudus U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund and the Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund also contributed notably. On a relative basis, the Schwab Dividend Equity Fund, TCW Relative Value Large Cap Fund, and Dodge & Cox Stock Fund underperformed the composite index’s U.S. equity allocation component, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 17.3%. Although these three funds contributed positively to the 2010 Fund’s total return, they detracted from relative performance. Among small-cap holdings, the Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund (Select Shares) also detracted from the 2010 Fund’s relative performance, while the Schwab Small-Cap Equity Fund enhanced relative performance by outperforming the Russell 2000 Index, which returned approximately 8.1%.
 
The 2010 Fund’s international equity allocation detracted from total return, reflecting the poor performance of international stocks. The largest positive contribution came from the Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund (Institutional Shares), while the William Blair International Small Cap Growth Fund (Institutional Shares) was the biggest detractor.1 On a relative basis, the Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund (Institutional Shares) outperformed the composite index’s international equity allocation component, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned approximately -0.2%.
 
The 2010 Fund’s U.S. fixed income allocation contributed to the 2010 Fund’s total return. The Natixis Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund (Class Y Shares) was a positive contributor, as was the Schwab Total Bond Market Fund, which performed approximately in line with the 4.1% return of the composite index’s U.S. fixed income component, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Small positions in the Schwab Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index Fund and in the Schwab Intermediate-Term Bond Fund also contributed positively to total return.

Schwab Target 2015 Fund
 
 
The Schwab Target 2015 Fund (the 2015 Fund) seeks to provide capital appreciation and income consistent with its current asset allocation, and seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a combination of other Schwab Funds and Laudus Funds. The 2015 Fund may also invest in unaffiliated third-party mutual funds. The target asset allocation is adjusted annually by the investment adviser; as of the last annual adjustment on January 7, 2014, the 2015 Fund’s asset allocation was approximately 43.3% equity securities, 51.0% fixed income securities, and 5.7% cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds). At its target date, the 2015 Fund’s allocation will be approximately 40.0% equity securities, 54.0% fixed income securities, and 6.0% cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds). (For portfolio allocations as of the end of this reporting period, please see the 2015 Fund’s Portfolio Holdings included in this report.)
 
Performance. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the 2015 Fund returned 6.56%. The 2015 Fund’s internally calculated comparative index, the Target 2015 Composite Index (the composite index), returned 6.86%.
 
Market Highlights. Large-cap U.S. stocks enjoyed strong gains during the 12-month reporting period, while small-cap stocks underperformed by comparison, and U.S. economic activity rebounded. Lackluster economic growth outside the U.S. resulted in overseas central banks keeping interest rates low, even as the Federal Reserve shifted its stance regarding long-term interest rates. Many foreign currencies fell versus the U.S. dollar as a result, reducing returns on international investments in U.S. dollar terms.
 
Positioning and Strategies. The 2015 Fund’s asset allocations were broadly in line with those of the composite index over the reporting period.
 
At an asset-class level, the 2015 Fund’s U.S. equity exposures provided the greatest contribution to total return, with all positions generating positive returns. The top contributor was the Schwab Core Equity Fund, which was the 2015 Fund’s largest U.S. equity allocation. The Laudus U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund and the Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund also contributed notably. On a relative basis, the Schwab Dividend Equity Fund, TCW Relative Value Large Cap Fund, and Dodge & Cox Stock Fund underperformed the composite index’s U.S. equity allocation component, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 17.3%. Although these three funds contributed positively to the 2015 Fund’s total return, they detracted from relative performance. Among small-cap holdings, the Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund (Select Shares) also detracted from the 2015 Fund’s relative performance, while the Schwab Small-Cap Equity Fund enhanced relative performance by outperforming the Russell 2000 Index, which returned approximately 8.1%.
 
The 2015 Fund’s international equity allocation detracted from the fund’s total return, reflecting the poor performance of international stocks. The largest positive contribution came from the Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund (Institutional Shares), while the William Blair International Small Cap Growth Fund (Institutional Shares) was the biggest detractor.1 On a relative basis, the Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund (Institutional Shares) outperformed the composite index’s international equity allocation component, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned approximately -0.2%. In spite of the relatively weak performance of emerging markets over the period, the 2025 Fund’s allocation to them was small, minimally impacting performance.
 
The 2015 Fund’s U.S. fixed income allocation contributed to the 2015 Fund’s total return. The Natixis Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund (Class Y Shares) was a positive contributor to total return, as was the Schwab Total Bond Market Fund, which performed approximately in line with the 4.1% total return of the composite index’s U.S. fixed income component, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Small positions in the Schwab Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index Fund and in the Schwab Intermediate-Term Bond Fund also contributed positively to total return.

Schwab Target 2030 Fund
 
 
The Schwab Target 2030 Fund (the 2030 Fund) seeks to provide capital appreciation and income consistent with its current asset allocation, and seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a combination of other Schwab Funds and Laudus Funds. The 2030 Fund may also invest in unaffiliated third-party mutual funds. The target asset allocation is adjusted annually by the investment adviser; as of the last annual adjustment on January 7, 2014, the 2030 Fund’s asset allocation was approximately 74.6% equity securities, 22.7% fixed income securities, and 2.7% cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds). At its target date, the 2030 Fund’s allocation will be approximately 40.0% equity securities, 54.0% fixed income securities, and 6.0% cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds). (For portfolio allocations as of the end of this reporting period, please see the 2030 Fund’s Portfolio Holdings included in this report.)
 
Performance. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the 2030 Fund returned 9.11%. The 2030 Fund’s internally calculated comparative index, the Target 2030 Composite Index (the composite index), returned 9.43%.
 
Market Highlights. Large-cap U.S. stocks enjoyed strong gains during the 12-month reporting period, while small-cap stocks underperformed by comparison, and U.S. economic activity rebounded. Lackluster economic growth outside the U.S. resulted in overseas central banks keeping interest rates low, even as the Federal Reserve shifted its stance regarding long-term interest rates. Many foreign currencies fell versus the U.S. dollar as a result, reducing returns on international investments in U.S. dollar terms.
 
Positioning and Strategies. The 2030 Fund’s asset allocations were broadly in line with those of the composite index over the reporting period.
 
At an asset-class level, the 2030 Fund’s U.S. equity exposures provided the greatest contribution to total return, with all positions generating positive returns. The top contributor was the Schwab Core Equity Fund, which was the 2030 Fund’s largest U.S. equity allocation. The Laudus U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund and the Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund also contributed notably. On a relative basis, the Schwab Dividend Equity Fund, TCW Relative Value Large Cap Fund, and Dodge & Cox Stock Fund underperformed the composite index’s U.S. equity allocation component, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 17.3%. Although these three funds contributed positively to the 2030 Fund’s total return, they detracted from relative performance. Among small-cap holdings, the Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund (Select Shares) also detracted from relative performance, while the Schwab Small-Cap Equity Fund enhanced relative performance by outperforming the Russell 2000 Index, which returned approximately 8.1%.
 
The 2030 Fund’s international equity allocation detracted from total return, reflecting the poor performance of international stocks. The largest positive contribution came from the Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund (Institutional Shares), while the William Blair International Small Cap Growth Fund (Institutional Shares) was the biggest detractor.1 On a relative basis, the Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund (Institutional Shares) outperformed the composite index’s international equity allocation component, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned approximately -0.2%. In spite of the relatively weak performance of emerging markets over the period, the 2030 Fund’s allocation to them was small, minimally impacting performance.
 
The 2030 Fund’s U.S. fixed income allocation contributed to the 2030 Fund’s total return. The Natixis Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund (Class Y Shares) was a positive total return contributor, as was the Schwab Total Bond Market Fund, which performed approximately in line with the 4.1% total return of the composite index’s U.S. fixed income component, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Small positions in the Schwab Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index Fund and in the Schwab Intermediate-Term Bond Fund also contributed positively to total return.

The target asset allocation is adjusted annually by the investment adviser; as of the last annual adjustment on January 7, 2014, the 2040 Fund’s asset allocation was approximately 87.3% equity securities, 10.6% fixed income securities, and 2.1% cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds).

(For portfolio allocations as of the end of this reporting period, please see the 2040 Fund’s Portfolio Holdings included in this report.)
 
Performance. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the 2040 Fund returned 10.07%. The 2040 Fund’s internally calculated comparative index, the Target 2040 Composite Index (the composite index), returned 10.34%.
 
Market Highlights. Large-cap U.S. stocks enjoyed strong gains during the 12-month reporting period, while small-cap stocks underperformed by comparison, and U.S. economic activity rebounded. Lackluster economic growth outside the U.S. resulted in overseas central banks keeping interest rates low, even as the Federal Reserve shifted its stance regarding long-term interest rates.

At an asset-class level, the 2040 Fund’s U.S. equity exposures provided the greatest contribution to total return, with all positions generating positive returns. The top contributor was the Schwab Core Equity Fund, which was the 2040 Fund’s largest U.S. equity allocation. The Laudus U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund and the Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund also contributed notably. On a relative basis, the Schwab Dividend Equity Fund, TCW Relative Value Large Cap Fund, and Dodge & Cox Stock Fund underperformed the composite index’s U.S. equity allocation component, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 17.3%. Although these three funds contributed positively to the 2040 Fund’s total return, they detracted from relative performance. Among small-cap holdings, the Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund (Select Shares) also detracted from relative performance, while the Schwab Small-Cap Equity Fund enhanced relative performance by outperforming the Russell 2000 Index, which returned approximately 8.1%.
 
The 2040 Fund’s international equity allocation generally detracted from total return, reflecting the poor performance of international stocks. The largest positive contribution came from the Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund (Institutional Shares), while the William Blair International Small Cap Growth Fund (Institutional Shares) was the biggest detractor.1 On a relative basis, the Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund (Institutional Shares) outperformed the composite index’s international equity allocation component, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned approximately -0.2%. In spite of the relatively weak performance of emerging markets over the period, the 2040 Fund’s allocation to them was small, minimally impacting performance. In addition, the 2040 Fund’s allocation to the Schwab Global Real Estate Fund enhanced both relative performance and total return.
 
The 2040 Fund’s U.S. fixed income allocation contributed to the 2040 Fund’s total return. The Natixis Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund (Class Y Shares) was a positive contributor to the 2040 Fund’s total return, as was the Schwab Total Bond Market Fund. Non-U.S. fixed income was weak, generating negative returns and reflecting the depreciation of many foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar.

At its target date, the 2045 Fund’s allocation will be approximately 40.0% equity securities, 54.0% fixed income securities, and 6.0% cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds). (For portfolio allocations as of the end of this reporting period, please see the 2045 Fund’s Portfolio Holdings included in this report.)
 
Performance. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the 2045 Fund returned 10.30%. The 2045 Fund’s internally calculated comparative index, the Target 2045 Composite Index (the composite index), returned 10.55%.
 
Market Highlights. Large-cap U.S. stocks enjoyed strong gains during the 12-month reporting period, while small-cap stocks underperformed by comparison, and U.S. economic activity rebounded. Lackluster economic growth outside the U.S. resulted in overseas central banks keeping interest rates low, even as the Federal Reserve shifted its stance regarding long-term interest rates. Many foreign currencies fell versus the U.S. dollar as a result, reducing returns on international investments in U.S. dollar terms.
 
Positioning and Strategies. The 2045 Fund’s asset allocations were broadly in line with those of the composite index over the reporting period.
 
At an asset-class level, the 2045 Fund’s U.S. equity exposures provided the greatest contribution to total return, with all positions generating positive returns. The top contributor was the Schwab Core Equity Fund, which was the 2045 Fund’s largest U.S. equity allocation. The Laudus U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund and the Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund also contributed notably. On a relative basis, the Schwab Dividend Equity Fund, TCW Relative Value Large Cap Fund, and Dodge & Cox Stock Fund underperformed the composite index’s U.S. equity allocation component, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 17.3%. Although these three funds contributed positively to the 2045 Fund’s total return, they detracted from relative performance. Among small-cap holdings, the Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund (Select Shares) also detracted from relative performance, while the Schwab Small-Cap Equity Fund enhanced relative performance by outperforming the Russell 2000 Index, which returned approximately 8.1%.
 
The 2045 Fund’s international equity allocation detracted from total return, reflecting the poor performance of international stocks. The largest positive contributor was the Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund (Institutional Shares), while the William Blair International Small Cap Growth Fund (Institutional Shares) was the biggest detractor.1 On a relative basis, the Laudus Mondrian International Equity Fund (Institutional Shares) outperformed the composite index’s international equity allocation component, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned approximately -0.2%. In spite of the relatively weak performance of emerging markets over the period, the 2045 Fund’s allocation to them was small, minimally impacting performance. In addition, the 2045 Fund’s allocation to the Schwab Global Real Estate Fund enhanced total return and relative performance.
 
The 2045 Fund’s U.S. fixed income allocation was small, but contributed positively to the 2045 Fund’s total return.

Schwab Target 2050 Fund
 
 
The Schwab Target 2050 Fund (the 2050 Fund) seeks to provide capital appreciation and income consistent with its current asset allocation, and seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a combination of other Schwab Funds and Laudus Funds. The 2050 Fund may also invest in unaffiliated third-party mutual funds. The target asset allocation is adjusted annually by the investment adviser; as of the last annual adjustment on January 7, 2014, the 2050 Fund’s asset allocation was approximately 93.0% equity securities, 5.0% fixed income securities, and 2.0% cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds). At its target date, the 2050 Fund’s allocation will be approximately 40.0% equity securities, 54.0% fixed income securities, and 6.0% cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds).

Table of Contents

 
Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees; 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 May 1, 2014 and held through October 31, 2014.
 
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 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, such as redemption fees. 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.

  The fund commenced operations on 01-23-13 and expenses were estimated based on similar funds for the fiscal year. During fiscal year 2013, actual printing expenses were less than the estimated expenses, which resulted in the fund reversing prior-year recognized expenses in the current year. The Fund is waiving any fees beyond the expense limitation and therefore the reversal had no impact to net expenses.

  The fund commenced operations on 01-23-13 and expenses were estimated based on similar funds for the fiscal year. During fiscal year 2013, actual printing expenses were less than the estimated expenses, which resulted in the fund reversing prior-year recognized expenses in the current year. The Fund is waiving any fees beyond the expense limitation and therefore the reversal had no impact to net expenses.

  The fund commenced operations on 01-23-13 and expenses were estimated based on similar funds for the fiscal year. During fiscal year 2013, actual printing expenses were less than the estimated expenses, which resulted in the fund reversing prior-year recognized expenses in the current year. The Fund is waiving any fees beyond the expense limitation and therefore the reversal had no impact to net expenses.

1. Business Structure of the Funds:
 
Each of the funds in this report is a series of Schwab Capital Trust (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 Schwab Target Funds are “fund of funds.” Each of the funds seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of other Schwab and/or Laudus Funds and other unaffiliated, third-party mutual funds, in accordance with its target portfolio allocation. Each fund may also invest directly in equity and fixed income securities, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), and cash equivalents, including money market securities.
 
Each fund in this report offers one share class. Shares are bought and sold (subject to a redemption fee, see financial note 8) 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”).
 
The financial statements of the fund should be read in conjunction with the underlying funds’ financial statements. For more information about the underlying funds’ operations and policies, please refer to those funds’ semiannual and annual reports, which are filed and available on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website at http://www.sec.gov or at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C.
 
(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 market 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.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs.
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a 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. Each 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 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.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
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 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.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments 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. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by the underlying fund.
 
  •  Level 2 — other 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. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant 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

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
  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.
 
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of October 31, 2014 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.
 
(b) 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.
 
(c) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
 
(d) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to all funds within the trust generally are allocated among the funds in proportion to their average daily net assets. Each fund bears its share of the allocable expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest.
 
(e) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The funds make distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
 
(f) 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.
 
(g) Federal Income Taxes:
 
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
 
(h) 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. Risk Factors:
 
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
 
Asset Allocation Risk. The funds are subject to asset allocation risk, which is the risk that the selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of a fund’s assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the funds to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.

 Schwab Target Funds
 

 
Financial Notes (continued)
 
3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
Affiliated Fund Risk. The investment adviser’s authority to select and substitute underlying funds from a variety of affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds may create a conflict of interest because the fees paid to it by some underlying funds are higher than the fees paid by other underlying funds. However, the portfolio manager is a fiduciary to the fund and is legally obligated to act in the fund’s best interests when selecting underlying funds, without taking fees into consideration.
 
Market Risk. Stock and bond markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the funds will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money.
 
Underlying Fund Investment Risk. The value of your investment in the funds is based primarily on the prices of the underlying funds that the fund purchases. In turn, the price of each underlying fund is based on the value of its securities. The funds are subject to the performance and expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest. Before investing in the funds, investors should assess the risks associated with the underlying funds in which the funds may invest and the types of investments made by those underlying funds. These risks include any combination of the risks described below, although a fund’s exposure to a particular risk will be proportionate to the fund’s overall asset allocation and underlying fund allocation.
 
  •  Investment Risk. An investment in an underlying fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The funds may experience losses with respect to their investment in an underlying fund. Further, there is no guarantee that an underlying fund will be able to achieve its objective.
 
  •  Management Risk. Generally, the underlying funds are actively managed mutual funds. Any actively managed mutual fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser (or sub-adviser(s)) will make poor security selections. An underlying fund’s 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.
 
  •  Fixed Income Risk. Interest rates rise and fall over time, which will affect an underlying fund’s yield and share price. The credit quality of a portfolio investment could also cause an underlying fund’s share price to fall. An underlying fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a portfolio investment or the counterparty to a derivatives contract fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Fixed income securities may be paid off earlier or later than expected. Either situation could cause a fund to hold securities paying lower-than-market rates of interest, which could hurt the fund’s yield or share price. Below investment-grade bonds (junk bonds) involve greater credit risk, are more volatile, involve greater risk of price declines and may be more susceptible to economic downturns than investment-grade securities.
 
  •  Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
 
  •  Large-, Mid- and Small-Cap Risk. Stocks of different market capitalizations tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. Historically, small- and mid-cap stocks tend to be more volatile than large-cap stocks, and small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks. During a period when stocks of a particular market capitalization fall behind other types of investments - bonds or stocks of another capitalization range, for instance -underlying fund’s large-, mid- or small-cap holdings could reduce performance.
 
  •  Money Market Risk. Although an underlying money market fund seeks to maintain a stable $1 net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund. In addition, a money market fund is not designed to offer capital appreciation.
 
  •  ETF Risk. When an underlying fund invests in an ETF, it will bear a proportionate share of the ETF’s expenses. In addition, lack of liquidity in an ETF can result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities.
 
  •  Foreign Investment Risk. An underlying fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); 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

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
  underlying fund’s investments, and could impair the underlying fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. To the extent an underlying fund’s investment in a single country or a limited number of countries represents a large percentage of the underlying fund’s assets, the underlying fund’s performance may be adversely affected by the economic, political and social conditions in those countries and it may be subject to increased price volatility.
 
  •  Emerging Markets Risk. Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Such countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with an underlying fund’s investments in emerging market countries and, at times, it may be difficult to value such investments.
 
  •  Derivatives Risk. An underlying fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. An underlying fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the underlying fund’s performance, increase volatility and could cause the fund to lose more than the principal amount invested.
 
  •  Leverage Risk. Certain underlying fund transactions, such as derivatives, short sales, reverse repurchase agreements, and mortgage dollar rolls, may give rise to a form of leverage and may expose a fund to greater risk. Leverage tends to magnify the effect of any decrease or increase in the value of an underlying fund’s portfolio securities, which means even a small amount of leverage can have a disproportionately large impact on the fund.
 
  •  Liquidity Risk. A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. An underlying fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
  •  Portfolio Turnover Risk. Certain of the underlying funds may buy and sell portfolio securities actively. If they do, their portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs will rise, which may lower the underlying fund’s performance and may increase the likelihood of capital gain distributions.
 
Direct Investment Risk. The funds may invest a portion of their assets directly in equity and fixed income securities, ETFs, and cash equivalents, including money market securities. A fund’s direct investment in these securities is subject to the same or similar risks as an underlying fund’s investment in the same security.
 
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:
 
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 (“Advisory Agreement”) between CSIM and the trust.
 
The Board has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) on behalf of the funds. The Plan enables each fund to bear expenses relating to the provision by service providers, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (a broker-dealer affiliate of CSIM, “Schwab”), of certain account maintenance, customer liaison and shareholder services to the current shareholders of the funds. The funds are not subject to any fee under the Plan.
 
CSIM and its affiliates have agreed with the funds, 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 expense charged, excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine expenses to 0.00%.
 
The agreement to limit the funds’ total expenses charged is limited to each fund’s direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to underlying fund fees and expenses, which are indirect expenses incurred by a fund through its investments in the underlying funds.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other Schwab Funds. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes only. The interest rate to be charged on a loan is the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. 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 a 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:
 
The funds have access to custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. and an uncommitted line of credit of $50 million with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The funds pay interest on the amounts they borrow at rates that are negotiated periodically. The funds also pay an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit.

6. Borrowing from Banks (continued):
 
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the funds during the period. However, the funds may have utilized their overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on a fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.
 
7. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:
 
For the period ended October 31, 2014, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:

Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses, short-term capital gains and losses, capital losses related to wash sales, unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities, and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Schwab Target 2010 Fund, Schwab Target 2015 Fund, Schwab Target 2020 Fund, Schwab Target 2025 Fund, Schwab Target 2030 Fund, Schwab Target 2035 Fund, Schwab Target 2040 Fund, Schwab Target 2045 Fund, Schwab Target 2050 Fund and Schwab Target 2055 Fund (ten of the funds constituting Schwab Capital Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2014, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities and investments in the underlying funds at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent of the underlying funds, respectively, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
 
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a fund’s investment advisory agreement 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.
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement between Schwab Capital Trust (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) (the “Agreement”) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab Target 2010 Fund, Schwab Target 2015 Fund, Schwab Target 2020 Fund, Schwab Target 2025 Fund, Schwab Target 2030 Fund, Schwab Target 2035 Fund, Schwab Target 2040 Fund, Schwab 2045 Fund, Schwab 2050 Fund and Schwab 2055 Fund (the “Funds”), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. As part of the renewal process, Independent Trustees’ legal counsel sends an information request letter to CSIM seeking certain relevant information. The responses by CSIM are provided to the Trustees for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees are provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Funds that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
 
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Funds at meetings held on April 30, 2014, and June 3, 2014, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 3, 2014. The Board’s approval of the Agreement with respect to the Funds was based on consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
 
1.  the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds;
 
2.  each Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds;
 
3.  each Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds;
 
4.  the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to each Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
 
5.  the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels in the Agreement reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered investments in CSIM’s mutual fund infrastructure, Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as free advice, investment and research tools, Internet access, and an array of account features that benefit the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s excellent reputation as a full service brokerage firm and its overall financial condition. Finally, the Trustees considered that the vast majority of the Funds’ shareholders are also brokerage clients of Schwab. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Fund Performance. The Board considered Fund performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Funds. Specifically, the Trustees considered each Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return, yield, if applicable, and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Trustees

considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for such Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of each Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of its review of Fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below. Although Schwab Target 2010 Fund had performance that lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain (although not necessarily all) periods considered, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to Schwab Target 2010 Fund including that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions by CSIM that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies; and that CSIM had taken steps designed to help improve performance. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Funds supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Funds’ expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement, and each Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of a peer group of mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s historical practice of voluntarily waiving management and other fees to prevent total Fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered CSIM’s contractual commitment to keep each Fund’s expense cap for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to such Fund. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Funds are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Funds, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Funds, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to each Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to a Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of Fund expenses, the Trustees considered that CSIM and Schwab have committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. For example, such diseconomies of scale may particularly affect newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Funds obtain reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
 
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Funds and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Funds is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

asset allocation The practice of dividing a portfolio among different asset classes, with each asset class assigned a particular percentage.
 
asset class A group of securities with similar structure and basic characteristics. Stocks, bonds and cash are the three main examples of asset classes.
 
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index A broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-back securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM passthroughs), asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
 
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Intermediate Bond Index An index that represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities.
 
Barclays U.S. Government/Credit: 1 − 5 Years Index An index that includes investment-grade government and corporate bonds that are denominated in U.S. dollars and have maturities of one to five years. Bonds are represented in the index in proportion to their market value.
 
Barclays U.S. TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) Index An index that measures the performance of fixed income securities with fixed-rate coupon payments that adjust for inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers.
 
Barclays U.S. Treasury Bills 1 − 3 Months Index An index that includes all publicly issued zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Bills that have a remaining maturity of less than 3 months and more than 1 month, are rated investment grade, and have $250 million or more of outstanding face value.
 
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 fund A bond fund is subject to the same credit, interest rate, and inflation risks as bonds. In addition, a bond fund incurs ongoing fees and expenses. A bond fund’s net asset value will fluctuate with the price of the underlying bonds and the portfolio turnover activity; return of principal is not guaranteed.
 
cap, capitalization See “market cap.”
 
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 capital gain or loss is considered unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
 
Citigroup Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index An index that measures the total rate of return performance for the government bonds of 23 countries, excluding the U.S., with a remaining maturity of at least one year.
 
Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index An index that measures the performance of all U.S. equity securities with readily available prices.
 
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.
 
FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Index An index that is designed to provide a diverse representation of publicly traded equity REITs and listed property companies worldwide.
 
market cap, market capitalization The value of a company as determined by the total value of all shares of its stock outstanding.
 
MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes; returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
 
MSCI Emerging Markets Index A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets.
 
net asset value (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.
 
outstanding shares, shares outstanding When speaking of a company or mutual fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.
 
Russell 2000 Index An index that measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes approximately 2000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership.

From the President
 

CHANDOHA PHOTO
 
Marie Chandoha is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the fund covered in this report.

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
For 25 years, Charles Schwab Investment Management has been committed to building funds that are designed to serve as part of the foundation of an investor’s portfolio. Our Schwab Balanced Fund combines equity and fixed income strategies in U.S. markets, and is designed to provide diversified asset allocation and an opportunity for long-term growth.
 
For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the fund returned 10.5% compared with the 10.8% return of the Balanced Blended Index, the fund’s internally calculated composite index. These returns reflected a rally by U.S. stocks and modest returns for bonds. The Fed’s accommodative monetary policy combined with an improving U.S. economy and favorable earnings reports propped up the performance of U.S. large-cap stocks. As a result, the S&P 500 Index repeatedly reached record highs during the reporting period and returned 17.3%, as stocks overcame geopolitical tensions and increased market volatility. The market favored large company stocks, which outperformed smaller and mid-sized companies.
 
Low interest rates and generally healthier economic conditions led to modest overall performances by a resilient U.S. bond market. Bonds with lower credit ratings outperformed Treasuries as credit conditions remained favorable, while long-term bonds outperformed short-term bonds as long-term bond yields fell. Reflecting this environment, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.1%.

Schwab Balanced Fund™
 
 
The Schwab Balanced Fund (the fund) seeks capital growth and income. To pursue its goal, the fund generally invests in a diversified group of other Schwab and/or Laudus Funds, in accordance with its target portfolio allocation. Normally, the fund invests 55% to 65% of its assets in equity securities (including stocks and equity funds) and 35% to 45% in fixed income securities (including bonds and fixed income funds), and cash or cash equivalents (including money market funds). The Fund’s allocation is designed to provide a mix of the growth opportunities of stock investing with the income opportunities of bonds and other fixed income securities. For more information concerning the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the fund’s prospectus.
 
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2014, the fund returned 10.52%. The fund’s internally calculated comparative index—the Balanced Blended Index (the index)—returned 10.79%.
 
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks enjoyed strong gains during the 12-month report period, helped by rebounding economic growth and low interest rates. The S&P 500 Index returned 17.3%, with large-cap U.S. stocks solidly outperforming small-cap stocks. The resilient U.S. bond market generated modest returns even as the Federal Reserve shifted its interest rate policies, with the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returning 4.1%.
 
Positioning and Strategies. Over the reporting period, the fund’s asset allocations were broadly in line with those of the index.
 
All three of the fund’s underlying U.S. equity funds contributed positively to total return for the reporting period. The greatest contribution came from the Schwab Core Equity Fund, which returned 17.9% and was the fund’s largest position. The Laudus U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund and the Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund, Select Shares, both contributed positively to total return, returning 16.2% and 4.4%, respectively. On a relative basis, the Laudus U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund and Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund both contributed to the fund’s slight underperformance compared with the index.
 
The fixed income allocation generated a positive return that contributed to the fund’s performance. The Schwab Total Bond Market Fund and the Schwab Intermediate-Term Bond Fund returned 4.1% and 2.5%, respectively. Both funds slightly detracted from the fund’s performance relative to the index.

All total returns on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. Index figures do not include trading and management costs, which would lower performance. Indices are unmanaged, and you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized.
 
For index definitions, please see the Glossary.
 
From June 3, 2002 to February 28, 2008, the fund used a manager of managers strategy, and therefore its performance during this time does not reflect the fund’s current multi-fund strategy and may have been different if it did.
 
1 Fund expenses may have been partially absorbed by CSIM and its affiliates. Without these reductions, the fund’s returns would have been lower. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
2 Source for category information: Morningstar, Inc. The Morningstar Category return represents all active and index mutual funds within the category as of the report date.
3 As stated in the prospectus. Includes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests. The annualized weighted average expense ratio of the underlying funds was 0.63%. Net Expense: Expenses reduced by a contractual fee waiver in effect for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to the fund. Gross Expense: Does not reflect the effect of contractual fee waivers. For actual ratios during the period, refer to the financial highlights section of the financial statements.

Table of Contents

 
Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees; 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 May 1, 2014 and held through October 31, 2014.
 
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, such as redemption fees. 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.

2 Expenses for the fund are equal to its annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 184 days of the period, and divided by the 365 days of the fiscal year.

The Schwab Balanced Fund is a single class “fund of funds” which seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified group of other Schwab and/or Laudus Funds, but also may invest in other unaffiliated, third party mutual funds, including exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). In addition, the fund may purchase individual securities to maintain its allocations.
 
The fund offers one share class. Shares are bought and sold (subject to a redemption fee, see financial note 8) 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”).
 
The financial statements of the fund should be read in conjunction with the underlying funds’ financial statements. For more information about the underlying funds’ operations and policies, please refer to those funds’ semiannual and annual reports, which are filed and available on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website at http://www.sec.gov or at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C.
 
(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 market 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
The fund values the securities in its portfolio every business day. The fund uses the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs.
 
  •  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, a 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 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.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market 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 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 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments 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. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by the underlying fund.
 
  •  Level 2 — other 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. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant 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.
 
The levels associated with valuing the fund’s investments as of October 31, 2014 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.
 
(b) 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.
 
(c) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the fund records certain foreign security dividends on the day it learns of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
 
(d) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to all funds within the trust generally are allocated among the funds in proportion to their average daily net assets. The fund bears its share of allocable expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests.
 
(e) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The fund makes distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.
 
(f) Custody Credit:
 
The fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), under which the fund may receive a credit for its uninvested cash balance to offset its custody fees and accounting fees. The credit amounts, if any, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as a reduction to the fund’s operating expenses.
 
(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. Accordingly, the fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to its respective 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 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.

3. Risk Factors:
 
Investing in the fund may involve certain risks, as discussed in the fund’s prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
 
Asset Allocation Risk. The fund is subject to asset allocation risk, which is the risk that the selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of the fund’s assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.
 
Affiliated Fund Risk. The investment adviser’s authority to select and substitute underlying funds from a variety of affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds may create a conflict of interest because the fees paid to it by some underlying funds are higher than the fees paid by other underlying funds. However, the portfolio manager is a fiduciary to the fund and is legally obligated to act in the fund’s best interests when selecting underlying funds, without taking fees into consideration.
 
Market Risk. Equity and fixed income markets rise and fall daily. 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.
 
Underlying Fund Investment Risk. The value of an investment in the fund is based primarily on the prices of the underlying funds that the fund purchases. In turn, the price of each underlying fund is based on the value of its securities. The fund is subject to the performance and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. Before investing in the fund, investors should assess the risks associated with the underlying funds in which the fund may invest and the types of investments made by those underlying funds. These risks include any combination of the risks described below, although the fund’s exposure to a particular risk will be proportionate to the fund’s overall asset allocation and underlying fund allocation.
 
  •  Investment Risk. An investment in an underlying fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund may experience losses with respect to its investment in an underlying fund. Further, there is no guarantee that an underlying fund will be able to achieve its objective.
 
  •  Management Risk. Generally, the underlying funds are actively managed mutual funds. Any actively managed mutual fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser (or sub-adviser(s)) will select or allocate assets that could cause the fund to underperform or otherwise not meet its objective. An underlying fund’s 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.
 
  •  Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
 
  •  Large- and Mid-Cap Risk. Both large- and mid-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. However, stocks of mid-cap companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger more established companies. During a period when large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks fall behind other types of investments - small-cap stocks, for instance - an underlying fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
  •  Small-Cap Risk. Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments - large-cap and mid-cap stocks, for instance - an underlying fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
  •  Growth Investing Risk. An underlying fund’s investments in growth stocks can be volatile. Growth companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their businesses and may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. The prices of growth stocks are based largely on projections of the issuer’s future earnings and revenues. If a company’s earnings or revenues fall short of expectations, its stock price may fall dramatically. Growth stocks may also be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to value or other stocks.
 
  •  Fixed Income Risk. Interest rates rise and fall over time, which will affect an underlying fund’s yield and share price. The longer an underlying fund’s duration, the more sensitive to interest rate movements its share price is likely to be. Because interest rates in the United States are at, or near, historically low levels, a change in a central bank’s monetary policy (e.g., tapering of the Federal Reserve Board’s quantitative easing program) or improving economic conditions may result in an

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
  increase in interest rates. The credit quality of a portfolio investment could also cause an underlying fund’s share price to fall. An underlying fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a portfolio investment or the counterparty to a derivatives contract fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Fixed income securities may be paid off earlier or later than expected. Either situation could cause an underlying fund to hold securities paying lower-than-market rates of interest, which could hurt the fund’s yield or share price. Below investment-grade bonds (junk bonds) involve greater credit risk, are more volatile, involve greater risk of price declines and may be more susceptible to economic downturns than investment-grade securities.
 
  •  ETF Risk. When an underlying fund invests in an ETF, it will bear a proportionate share of the ETF’s expenses. In addition, lack of liquidity in an ETF can result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities.
 
  •  Money Market Risk. Although an underlying money market fund seeks to maintain a stable $1 net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund. In addition, a money market fund is not designed to offer capital appreciation.
 
  •  Foreign Investment Risk. An underlying fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); 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 underlying fund’s investments, and could impair the underlying fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. To the extent an underlying fund’s investment in a single country or a limited number of countries represents a large percentage of the underlying fund’s assets, the underlying fund’s performance may be adversely affected by the economic, political and social conditions in those countries and it may be subject to increased price volatility.
 
  •  Emerging Markets Risk. Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Such countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with an underlying fund’s investments in emerging market countries and, at times, it may be difficult to value such investments.
 
  •  Derivatives Risk. An underlying fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. An underlying fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the underlying fund’s performance, increase volatility and could cause the fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately large impact on an underlying fund. However, these risks are less severe when the underlying fund uses derivatives for hedging rather than to enhance the underlying fund’s returns or as a substitute for a position or security.
 
  •  Leverage Risk. Certain underlying fund transactions, such as derivatives, short sales, reverse repurchase agreements, and mortgage dollar rolls, may give rise to a form of leverage and may expose an underlying fund to greater risk. Leverage tends to magnify the effect of any decrease or increase in the value of an underlying fund’s portfolio securities, which means even a small amount of leverage can have a disproportionately large impact on the fund. The use of leverage may cause the underlying fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations.
 
  •  Liquidity Risk. A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. An underlying fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
  •  Portfolio Turnover Risk. Certain of the underlying funds may buy and sell portfolio securities actively. If they do, their portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs will rise, which may lower the underlying fund’s performance and may increase the likelihood of capital gain distributions.

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
  •  Securities Lending Risk. Certain underlying funds engage in securities lending, which involves the risk of loss of rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
 
  •  Mortgage-Backed and Mortgage Pass-Through Securities Risk. Certain of the mortgage-backed securities in which an underlying fund may invest are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and there can be no assurance that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities where it was not obligated to do so. Mortgage-backed securities tend to increase in value less than other debt securities when interest rates decline, but are subject to similar risk of decline in market value during periods of rising interest rates. Because of prepayment and extension risk, mortgage-backed securities react differently to changes in interest rates than other bonds. Small movements in interest rates — both increases and decreases — may quickly and significantly affect the value of certain mortgage-backed securities. Transactions in mortgage pass-through securities primarily occur through to be announced (TBA) transactions. Default by or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose an underlying fund to possible losses because of an adverse market action, expenses, or delays in connection with the purchase or sale of the pools of mortgage pass-through securities specified in the TBA transaction.
 
  •  Mortgage Dollar Rolls Risk. Mortgage dollar rolls are transactions in which an underlying fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. An underlying fund’s mortgage dollar rolls could lose money if the price of the mortgage-backed securities sold falls below the agreed upon repurchase price, or if the counterparty is unable to honor the agreement.
 
Direct Investment Risk. The fund may invest a portion of its assets directly in equity and fixed income securities, as well as other mutual funds or ETFs, to maintain its asset allocations. The fund’s direct investment in these securities is subject to the same or similar risks as an underlying fund’s investment in the same security.
 
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:
 
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 (“Advisory Agreement”) between CSIM and the trust.
 
The Board has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) on behalf of the fund. The Plan enables the fund to bear expenses relating to the provision by service providers, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (a broker-dealer affiliate of CSIM, “Schwab”), of certain account maintenance, customer liaison and shareholder services to the current shareholders of the fund. The fund is not subject to any fee under the Plan.
 
CSIM and its affiliates have agreed 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 to 0.00%.
 
The agreement to limit the fund’s total expenses charged is limited to the fund’s direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to underlying fund fees and expenses, which are indirect expenses incurred by a fund through its investments in the underlying funds.
 
The fund may engage in certain transactions involving related parties. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may invest in other related funds. As of October 31, 2014, the Schwab Balanced Fund’s ownership percentages of other related funds’ shares are:
 
         
Laudus U.S. Large Cap Growth Fund
    1.4%  
Schwab Core Equity Fund
    3.1%  
Laudus Small-Cap MarketMasters Fund, Select Shares

  Distributions received include distributions from net investment income and capital gains, if any, from the underlying funds.
 
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other Schwab Funds. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes only. The interest rate to be charged on a loan is the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. 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:
 
The fund has access to custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street, an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. and an uncommitted line of credit of $50 million with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The fund pays interest on the amount it borrows at rates that are negotiated periodically. The fund also pays an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit.
 
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the fund during the period. However, the fund may have utilized its 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. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:
 
For the period ended October 31, 2014, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:
 
             
Purchases of Securities
 
Sales/Maturities of Securities
 
  $73,987,196       $49,248,000

8. Redemption Fee:
 
The fund charges a 2.00% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within 30 days of the original purchase date. Such amounts are netted against redemption proceeds on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The redemption fees charged during the current and prior periods are:

  $8,259       $6,089  
 
9. Federal Income Taxes:
 
As of October 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
 
         
Undistributed ordinary income
    $1,157,827  
Undistributed long-term capital gains
    5,780,017  
Unrealized appreciation on investments
    35,712,756  
Unrealized depreciation on investments
    (61,464 )
         
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
    $35,651,292  
         
 
The primary difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation or unrealized depreciation of investments is the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
 
Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of October 31, 2014, the fund had no capital loss carryforwards.
 
For the year ended October 31, 2014, the fund had capital loss carryforwards utilized as follows:
 
         
Capital loss carryforwards utilized
    $3,288,811  
 
The tax-basis components of distributions paid during the current and prior fiscal years were as follows:
 
         
Current period distributions
Ordinary income
    $2,313,152  
Long-term capital gains
     
Return of capital
     
 
Prior period distributions
Ordinary income
    $1,969,000  
Long-term capital gains
     
Return of capital
     
 
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses, short-term capital gains and losses, capital losses related to wash sales, unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities, and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the fund for financial reporting purposes. 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 October 31, 2014, the fund made the following reclassifications:
 
         
Capital shares
    $—  
Undistributed net investment income
    515,795  
Net realized capital gains (losses)
    (515,795 )
 
As of October 31, 2014, 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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of:
Schwab Balanced Fund
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Schwab Balanced Fund (one of the funds constituting Schwab Capital Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities and investments in the underlying funds at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent of the underlying funds, respectively, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
 
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a fund’s investment advisory agreement 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.
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement between Schwab Capital Trust (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) (the “Agreement”) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab Balanced Fund (the “Fund”), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. As part of the renewal process, Independent Trustees’ legal counsel sends an information request letter to CSIM seeking certain relevant information. The responses by CSIM are provided to the Trustees for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees are provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Fund that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
 
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Fund at meetings held on April 30, 2014, and June 3, 2014, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 3, 2014. The Board’s approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund was based on consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
 
1.  the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund;
 
2.  the Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds;
 
3.  the Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds;
 
4.  the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to the Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
 
5.  the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels in the Agreement reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered investments in CSIM’s mutual fund infrastructure, Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as free advice, investment and research tools, Internet access, and an array of account features that benefit the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s excellent reputation as a full service brokerage firm and its overall financial condition. Finally, the Trustees considered that many of the Fund’s shareholders are also brokerage clients of Schwab. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the Fund and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
 
Fund Performance. The Board considered Fund performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees considered the Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/ benchmarks, in light of total return, yield, and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Trustees considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for the Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of the Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of its review of

Fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below. Although the Fund had performance that lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain (although not necessarily all) periods considered , the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund, including that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions by CSIM that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies and that CSIM had taken steps designed to help improve performance. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
 
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement, and the Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of a peer group of mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s historical practice of voluntarily waiving management and other fees to prevent total Fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered CSIM’s contractual commitment to keep the Fund’s expense cap for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to the Fund. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
 
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Fund, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Fund, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.
 
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of Fund expenses, the Trustees considered that CSIM and Schwab have committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. For example, such diseconomies of scale may particularly affect newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund obtains reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
 
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Fund and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Fund is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

Balanced Blended Index A custom blended index developed by CSIM that effective August 1, 2013 is composed of 50% S&P 500 Index, 10% Russell 2000 Index, 25% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 12% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Intermediate Bond Index and 3% Barclays U.S. Treasury Bills: 1 − 3 Months Index. Prior to August 1, 2013 the Balanced Blended Index was composed of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
 
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index A broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-back securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM passthroughs), asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
 
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Intermediate Bond Index An index that represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities.
 
Barclays U.S. Treasury Bills 1 − 3 Months Index An index that includes all publicly issued zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Bills that have a remaining maturity of less than 3 months and more than 1 month, are rated investment grade, and have $250 million or more of outstanding face value.
 
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 fund A bond fund is subject to the same credit, interest rate, and inflation risks as bonds. In addition, a bond fund incurs ongoing fees and expenses. A bond fund’s net asset value will fluctuate with the price of the underlying bonds and the portfolio turnover activity; return of principal is not guaranteed.
 
cap, capitalization See “market cap.”
 
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 capital gain or loss is considered unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
 
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.
 
market cap, market capitalization The value of a company as determined by the total value of all shares of its stock outstanding.
 
MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index A free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes; returns are calculated applying dividend withholding rates applicable to non-resident persons who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
 
net asset value (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.
 
outstanding shares, shares outstanding When speaking of a company or mutual fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.
 
price-to-book ratio (P/B)  The market price of a company’s stock compared with its “book value.” A mutual fund’s P/B is the weighted average of the P/B of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
 
price-to-earnings ratio (P/E)  The market price of a company’s stock compared with earnings over the past year. A mutual fund’s P/E is the weighted average of the P/E of all stocks in the fund’s portfolio.
 
return on equity (ROE) The average yearly rate of return for each dollar of investors’ money, measured over the past five years.
 
Russell 2000 Index An index that measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes approximately 2000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership.
 
S&P 500 Index A market capitalization index that is designed to measure the performance of 500 leading publicly held companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy.
 
stock A share of ownership, or equity, in the issuing company.
 
total return The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.
 
weighted average For mutual funds, an average that gives the same weight to each security as the security represents in the fund’s portfolio.
 
yield The income paid out by an investment, expressed as a percentage of the investment’s market value.

From the President
 

CHANDOHA PHOTO
 
Marie Chandoha is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the funds covered in this report.

 
Dear Shareholder,
 
For 25 years, Charles Schwab Investment Management has been committed to building funds that are designed to serve as the foundation of an investor’s portfolio. Our Schwab MarketTrack Portfolios combine a variety of passive strategies in U.S. and international markets, seeking to provide diversification, while targeting varying degrees of risk.
 
For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the portfolios generated positive returns that generally tracked their comparative indices. In the U.S., generally favorable corporate earnings reports and easy monetary policy continued to support U.S. stocks, helping them overcome geopolitical tensions and increased market volatility. Meanwhile, the resilient U.S. bond market provided modest overall returns, even as interest rates remained historically low. Reflecting this backdrop, the S&P 500 returned 17.3%, while the broad U.S. bond market returned 4.1%, as represented by the performance of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
 
Economic growth generally stalled outside the U.S. This convinced the Bank of Japan and many other overseas central banks to maintain low interest rates, even as the Fed wrapped up its quantitative easing policies. In response to these policy differences, the yen and many other foreign currencies depreciated versus the U.S. dollar, reducing international stock returns in U.S. dollar terms. As a result, the MSCI EAFE Index, which broadly represents the performance of international stocks, returned -0.6%.1

From the President continued
 

For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the portfolios generated positive returns that generally tracked their comparative indices.

 
In related product matters, as described in the portfolios’ prospectus supplement dated September 25, 2014, we are making changes to the portfolios that are aimed at improving the portfolios’ overall diversification. Effective December 1, 2014, the portfolios will add international small-cap equity and emerging markets equity as dedicated asset classes as well as begin investing in the Schwab Fundamental Index Funds. For more information about these changes, please visit www.schwabfunds.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-800-435-4000.
 
Sincerely,
 
-s- Marie Chandoha

Schwab MarketTrack All Equity Portfolio™
 
 
The Schwab MarketTrack All Equity Portfolio (the portfolio) seeks high capital growth through an all-stock portfolio. To pursue its goal, the portfolio maintains a defined asset allocation. The portfolio’s target allocation is 100% in stock investments, with certain percentages for different segments of the stock market. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the portfolio remained close to the target allocations of 45% in U.S. large-cap, 30% in international, and 25% in U.S. small-cap stocks. The portfolio invests mainly in other Schwab Funds including index funds, which seek to track the total returns of various market indices. For more information concerning the portfolio’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the portfolio’s prospectus. Please see the Supplement to the Prospectus dated September 25, 2014, for information regarding target allocation changes.
 
Performance. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the portfolio returned 9.12%. The portfolio’s internally calculated comparative index, the All Equity Composite Index (the composite index), returned 9.53%.
 
Market Highlights. Large-cap U.S. stocks performed well for the 12-month reporting period, buoyed by low interest rates, rebounding economic growth, and generally favorable earnings report, while small-cap U.S. stocks underperformed by comparison. Outside of the U.S., economic growth generally faltered. This convinced many overseas central banks to maintain low interest rate policies, even as the Federal Reserve (the Fed) wrapped up its quantitative easing policies aimed at holding down long-term interest rates. As a result, many foreign currencies depreciated versus the U.S. dollar, reducing the returns of international investments in U.S. dollar terms, as was reflected by the -0.2% return of the MSCI EAFE Index. Among emerging markets, overall market volatility increased amid heightened geopolitical tensions in Russia and the Middle East, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returning approximately 0.6% for the reporting period.
 
Positioning and Strategies. Over the reporting period, the portfolio’s asset allocations were broadly in line with those of the composite index.
 
U.S. equity exposures contributed positively to the portfolio’s total return for the period. The largest contribution came from the Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund, which returned 17.2%. The Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund also contributed, returning 8.1%. On a relative basis, the Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund narrowly underperformed the composite index’s U.S. equity allocation component, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 17.3%. In contrast, the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund narrowly outperformed the Russell 2000 Index, contributing to the fund’s performance relative to the composite index.
 
The portfolio’s international equity exposure also added to the fund’s total return and enhanced performance relative to the composite index. The portfolio’s position in the Schwab International Index Fund returned 0.1%, outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index (Net), which is the composite index’s international equity allocation component.

Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio™
 
 
The Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio (the portfolio) seeks high capital growth with less volatility than an all-stock portfolio. To pursue its goal, the portfolio maintains a defined asset allocation. The portfolio’s target allocation includes stock, bond, and cash investments. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the portfolio remained close to the target allocations of 80% equity, 15% fixed income, and 5% cash and cash equivalents. The portfolio invests mainly in other Schwab Funds including index funds, which seek to track the total returns of various market indices. For more information concerning the portfolio’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the portfolio’s prospectus. Please see the Supplement to the Prospectus dated September 25, 2014, for information regarding target allocation changes.
 
Performance. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the portfolio returned 8.55%. The portfolio’s internally calculated comparative index, the Growth Composite Index (the composite index), returned 9.02%.
 
Market Highlights. Large-cap U.S. stocks performed well for the 12-month reporting period, buoyed by low interest rates, rebounding economic growth, and generally favorable earnings report, while small-cap U.S. stocks underperformed by comparison. Outside of the U.S., economic growth generally faltered.

Among emerging markets, overall market volatility increased amid heightened geopolitical tensions in Russia and the Middle East, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returning approximately 0.6% for the reporting period. On the fixed income side, soft U.S. economic activity early in 2014 and an overall decline in longer-term bond yields helped the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index return approximately 4.1% for the reporting period.
 
Positioning and Strategies. Over the reporting period, the portfolio’s asset allocations were broadly in line with those of the composite index.
 
U.S. equity exposures contributed positively to the portfolio’s total return for the period. The largest contribution came from the Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund, which returned 17.2%.

The fixed income allocation generated a positive return that contributed to the portfolio’s total return. The Schwab Total Bond Market Fund returned approximately 4.1%. On a relative basis, this return was approximately in line with the return of the composite index’s U.S. fixed income allocation component, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Positioning and Strategies. Over the reporting period, the portfolio’s asset allocations were broadly in line with those of the composite index.
 
U.S. equity exposures contributed positively to the portfolio’s total return for the period. The largest contribution came from the Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund, which returned 17.2%. The Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund also contributed, returning 8.1%. On a relative basis, the Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund narrowly underperformed the composite index’s U.S. equity allocation component, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 17.3%. In contrast, the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund narrowly outperformed the Russell 2000 Index, contributing to the fund’s performance relative to the composite index.
 
The portfolio’s international equity exposure also added to the fund’s total return and enhanced performance relative to the composite index. The portfolio’s position in the Schwab International Index Fund returned 0.1%, outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index (Net), which is the composite index’s international equity allocation component.
 
The fixed income allocation generated a positive return that contributed to the portfolio’s total return. The Schwab Total Bond Market Fund returned approximately 4.1%. On a relative basis, this return was approximately in line with the return of the composite index’s U.S. fixed income allocation component, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Schwab MarketTrack Conservative Portfolio™
 
 
The Schwab MarketTrack Conservative Portfolio (the portfolio) seeks income and more growth potential than an all-bond portfolio. To pursue its goal, the portfolio maintains a defined asset allocation. The portfolio’s target allocation includes stock, bond, and cash investments. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the portfolio remained close to the target allocations of 55% fixed income, 40% equity, and 5% cash and cash equivalents. The portfolio invests mainly in other Schwab Funds including index funds, which seek to track the total returns of various market indices. For more information concerning the portfolio’s investment objective, strategies, and risks, please see the portfolio’s prospectus. Please see the Supplement to the Prospectus dated September 25, 2014, for information regarding target allocation changes.
 
Performance. For the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014, the portfolio returned 5.95%. The portfolio’s internally calculated comparative index, the Conservative Composite Index (the composite index), returned 6.52%.
 
Market Highlights. Large-cap U.S. stocks performed well for the 12-month reporting period, buoyed by low interest rates, rebounding economic growth, and generally favorable earnings report, while small-cap U.S. stocks underperformed by comparison. Outside of the U.S., economic growth generally faltered. This convinced many overseas central banks to maintain low interest rate policies, even as the Federal Reserve (the Fed) wrapped up its quantitative easing policies aimed at holding down long-term interest rates. As a result, many foreign currencies depreciated versus the U.S. dollar, reducing the returns of international investments in U.S. dollar terms, as was reflected by the -0.2% return of the MSCI EAFE Index. Among emerging markets, overall market volatility increased amid heightened geopolitical tensions in Russia and the Middle East, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returning approximately 0.6% for the reporting period. On the fixed income side, soft U.S. economic activity early in 2014 and an overall decline in longer-term bond yields helped the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index return approximately 4.1% for the reporting period.
 
Positioning and Strategies. Over the reporting period, the portfolio’s asset allocations were broadly in line with those of the composite index.
 
U.S. equity exposures contributed positively to the portfolio’s total return for the period. The largest contribution came from the Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund, which returned 17.2%. The Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund also contributed, returning 8.1%. On a relative basis, the Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund narrowly underperformed the composite index’s U.S. equity allocation component, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 17.3%. In contrast, the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund narrowly outperformed the Russell 2000 Index, contributing to the fund’s performance relative to the composite index.
 
The portfolio’s international equity exposure also added to the fund’s total return and enhanced performance relative to the composite index. The portfolio’s position in the Schwab International Index Fund returned 0.1%, slightly outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index (Net), which is the composite index’s international equity allocation component.
 
The fixed income allocation generated a positive return that contributed to the portfolio’s total return. The Schwab Total Bond Market Fund returned approximately 4.1%. On a relative basis, this return was approximately in line with the return of the composite index’s U.S. fixed income allocation component, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Table of Contents

 
Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
 Examples for a $1,000 Investment
 
As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees; 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 May 1, 2014 and held through October 31, 2014.
 
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 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, such as redemption fees. 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.

1. Business Structure of the Funds:
 
Each of the funds in this report is a series of Schwab Capital Trust (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 Schwab MarketTrack Portfolios are primarily “fund of funds”. Each of the funds seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing mainly in a combination of other Schwab Funds (underlying funds) in accordance with its target portfolio allocation. The funds may also invest directly in equity or fixed income securities, other mutual funds, ETFs and cash equivalents to achieve their investment objectives.
 
Each fund in this report offers one share class. Shares are bought and sold (subject to a redemption fee, see financial note 8) 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”).
 
The financial statements of the fund should be read in conjunction with the underlying funds’ financial statements. For more information about the underlying funds’ operations and policies, please refer to those funds’ semiannual and annual reports, which are filed and available on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website at http://www.sec.gov or at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington D.C.
 
(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 market 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.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:
 
  •  Underlying funds: Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs.
 
  •  Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a 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. Each 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 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.
 
  •  Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
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 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.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — Investments 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. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs, which are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the specific investments held by the underlying fund.
 
  •  Level 2 — other 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. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
 
  •  Level 3 — significant 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

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
  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.
 
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of October 31, 2014 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.
 
(b) 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.
 
(c) Investment Income:
 
Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the funds record certain foreign security dividends on the day they learn of the ex-dividend date. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
 
(d) Expenses:
 
Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to all funds within the trust generally are allocated among the funds in proportion to their average daily net assets. Each fund bears its share of the allocable expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest.
 
(e) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
The funds make distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, once a year, except for the Schwab MarketTrack Conservative Portfolio, which makes distributions from net investment income quarterly.
 
(f) 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.
 
(g) Federal Income Taxes:
 
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.
 
(h) 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. Risk Factors:
 
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.
 
Asset Allocation Risk. The funds are subject to asset allocation risk, which is the risk that the selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of a fund’s assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the funds to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
Affiliated Fund Risk. The investment adviser’s authority to select and substitute underlying funds from a variety of affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds may create a conflict of interest because the fees paid to it by some underlying funds are higher than the fees paid by other underlying funds. However, the portfolio manager is a fiduciary to the fund and is legally obligated to act in the fund’s best interests when selecting underlying funds, without taking fees into consideration.
 
Market Risk. Stock and bond markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the funds will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money.
 
Underlying Fund Investment Risk. The value of your investment in the funds is based primarily on the prices of the underlying funds that the fund purchases. In turn, the price of each underlying fund is based on the value of its securities. The funds are subject to the performance and expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest. Before investing in the funds, investors should assess the risks associated with the underlying funds in which the funds may invest and the types of investments made by those underlying funds. These risks include any combination of the risks described below, although a fund’s exposure to a particular risk will be proportionate to the fund’s overall asset allocation and underlying fund allocation.
 
  •  Investment Risk. An investment in an underlying fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The funds may experience losses with respect to their investment in an underlying fund. Further, there is no guarantee that an underlying fund will be able to achieve its objective.
 
  •  Investment Style Risk. The underlying funds seek to track the performance of various segments of the stock market, as measured by their respective indices. Each underlying fund follows these stocks during upturns as well as downturns. Because of their indexing strategy, the underlying funds do not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of an underlying fund’s expenses, the underlying fund’s performance is normally below that of the index.
 
  •  Equity Risk. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
 
  •  Tracking Error Risk. Each underlying index fund seeks to track the performance of its benchmark index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and its benchmark index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.
 
  •  Large-Cap Risk. Many of the risks of the underlying funds are associated with their investment in the large-cap segments of the stock market. Large-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when large-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments - bonds or mid- or small- cap stocks, for instance - an underlying fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
  •  Small-Cap Risk. Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments - bonds or large-cap stocks, for instance - an underlying fund’s performance also will lag those investments.
 
  •  Money Market Risk. Although an underlying money market fund seeks to maintain a stable $1 net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund. In addition, a money market fund is not designed to offer capital appreciation.
 
  •  Foreign Investment Risk. An underlying fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); 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 underlying fund’s investments, and could impair the underlying fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. To the extent an underlying fund’s investment in a single country or a limited

3. Risk Factors (continued):
 
  number of countries represents a large percentage of the underlying fund’s assets, the underlying fund’s performance may be adversely affected by the economic, political and social conditions in those countries and it may be subject to increased price volatility.
 
  •  Currency Risk. As a result of an underlying fund’s investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in foreign currencies, the fund will be subject to currency risk. This is the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in a fund would be adversely affected.
 
  •  Emerging Markets Risk. Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Such countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with an underlying fund’s investments in emerging market countries and, at times, it may be difficult to value such investments.
 
  •  Derivatives Risk. An underlying fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. An underlying fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the underlying fund’s performance, increase volatility and could cause the fund to lose more than the principal amount invested.
 
  •  Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) Risk. When a fund invests in an ETF, it will bear a proportionate share of the ETF’s expenses. In addition, lack of liquidity in an ETF can result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities.
 
  •  Debt Securities Risk. Bond prices generally fall when interest rates rise. Bonds with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to this risk. Underlying fund performance also could be affected if an issuer or guarantor of a bond held by the fund fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Lower-quality bonds are considered speculative with respect to their issuer’s ability to make timely payments or otherwise honor their obligations. In addition, prices of lower-quality bonds tend to be more volatile than those of investment-grade bonds, and may fall based on bad news about the issuer, an industry or the overall economy.
 
  •  Liquidity Risk. A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. An underlying fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
 
  •  Securities Lending Risk. An underlying fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers, and other financial institutions. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
 
Direct Investment Risk. A fund may invest directly in individual securities as well as other mutual funds or ETFs, to maintain its allocations. A fund’s direct investment in these securities is subject to the same or similar risks as an underlying fund’s investment in the same security.
 
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:
 
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 (“Advisory Agreement”) between CSIM and the trust.
 
For its advisory and administrative services to the funds, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee of 0.23% payable monthly based on a percentage of each fund’s average daily net assets.
 
Subsequent to the reporting year ended October 31, 2014, and effective December 1, 2014, the advisory fee has been reduced to 0.13%.

Financial Notes (continued)
 
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions (continued):
 
The Board has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) on behalf of the funds. The Plan enables each fund to bear expenses relating to the provision by service providers, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (a broker-dealer affiliate of CSIM, “Schwab”), of certain account maintenance, customer liaison and shareholder services to the current shareholders of the funds. Schwab serves as the funds’ paying agent under the Plan for making payments of the shareholder service fee due to the service providers (other than Schwab). All shareholder service fees paid by the funds to Schwab in its capacity as the funds’ paying agent will be passed through to the service providers, and Schwab will not retain any portion of such fees.
 
Pursuant to the Plan, each fund’s shares are subject to an annual shareholder servicing fee up to 0.25%. The shareholder servicing fee paid to a particular service provider is made pursuant to its written agreement with Schwab (or, in the case of payments made to Schwab, pursuant to Schwab’s written agreement with the funds). Payments under the Plan are made as described above regardless of Schwab’s or the service provider’s actual cost of providing the services. If the cost of providing the services under the Plan is less than the payments received, the unexpended portion of the fees may be retained as profit by Schwab or the service provider.
 
Although these agreements specify certain fees for these services, CSIM and its affiliates have made an additional agreement with the funds, 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”). The expense limitation as a percentage of average daily net assets is as follows:

The agreement to limit the funds’ total expenses charged is limited to each fund’s direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to underlying fund fees and expenses, which are indirect expenses incurred by a fund through its investments in the underlying funds.
 
The funds may engage in certain transactions involving related parties. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may invest in other related funds. As of October 31, 2014, each Schwab MarketTrack Portfolio’s ownership percentages of other related funds’ shares are:

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other Schwab Funds. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes only. The interest rate to be charged on a loan is the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. 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 a 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:
 
The funds have access to custodian overdraft facilities, a committed line of credit of $150 million with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with Bank of America, N.A. and an uncommitted line of credit of $50 million with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The funds pay interest on the amounts they borrow at rates that are negotiated periodically. The funds also pay an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit.
 
There were no borrowings from the lines of credit by the funds during the period. However, the funds may have utilized their overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on a fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.
 
7. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:
 
For the period ended October 31, 2014, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:

9. Federal Income Taxes (continued):
 
The primary difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation or unrealized depreciation of investments is the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
 
Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of October 31, 2014, the funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net capital gains before the expiration dates as follows:

Qualified late-year losses are certain capital and ordinary losses which occur during the portion of a fund’s taxable year subsequent to October 31. A fund may elect to treat any portion of qualified late-year losses as arising during the first day of the next taxable year. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the funds had late-year ordinary losses deferred and capital loss carryforwards utilized as follows:

Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses, short-term capital gains and losses, capital losses related to wash sales, unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities, and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.

As of October 31, 2014, 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 period ended October 31, 2014, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
 
10. Subsequent Events:
 
Under an amendment approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust on September 25, 2014, and effective December 1, 2014, the management fee paid to CSIM will be reduced from 0.23% to 0.13%. In addition, commencing in early December 2014, each fund’s respective investment strategy will be modified for its target class allocations, underlying fund selections and underlying fund target weightings. Management expects the modifications to be completed by the end of February 2015 or possibly sooner (depending on market conditions). Other than these modifications, 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.

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of:
Schwab MarketTrack All Equity Portfolio
Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio
Schwab MarketTrack Balanced Portfolio
Schwab MarketTrack Conservative Portfolio
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Schwab MarketTrack All Equity Portfolio, Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio, Schwab MarketTrack Balanced Portfolio, and Schwab MarketTrack Conservative Portfolio (four of the portfolios constituting Schwab Capital Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2014, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities and investments in the underlying funds at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent of the underlying funds, respectively, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
 
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a fund’s investment advisory agreement 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.
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement between Schwab Capital Trust (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) (the “Agreement”) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab MarketTrack All Equity Portfolio, Schwab MarketTrack Growth Portfolio, Schwab MarketTrack Balanced Portfolio and Schwab MarketTrack Conservative Portfolio (the “Funds”), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by CSIM, including information about CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. As part of the renewal process, Independent Trustees’ legal counsel sends an information request letter to CSIM seeking certain relevant information. The responses by CSIM are provided to the Trustees for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees are provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Board also receives extensive data provided by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Funds that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of CSIM.
 
The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to its consideration of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Funds at meetings held on April 30, 2014, and June 3, 2014, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds for an additional one year term at the meeting held on June 3, 2014. The Board’s approval of the Agreement with respect to the Funds was based on consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:
 
1.  the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreement, including the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds;
 
2.  each Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of certain other comparable mutual funds;
 
3.  each Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other comparable mutual funds;
 
4.  the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), with respect to each Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and
 
5.  the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels in the Agreement reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees also considered investments in CSIM’s mutual fund infrastructure, Schwab’s wide range of products, services, and channel alternatives such as free advice, investment and research tools, Internet access, and an array of account features that benefit the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s excellent reputation as a full service brokerage firm and its overall financial condition. Finally, the Trustees considered that the vast majority of the Funds’ shareholders are also brokerage clients of Schwab. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Fund Performance. The Board considered Fund performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement with respect to the Funds. Specifically, the Trustees considered each Fund’s performance relative to a peer category of other mutual funds and appropriate indices/ benchmarks, in light of total return, yield, if applicable, and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of the peer category, selection criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared the peer category analysis. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Trustees considered both risk and shareholder risk expectations for

Table of Contents

such Fund and the appropriateness of the benchmark used to compare the performance of each Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund performance in the context of its review of Fund expenses and adviser profitability discussed below. Although the Funds had performance that lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain (although not necessarily all) periods considered, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Funds, including that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions by CSIM that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies and that CSIM and the Sub-Advisers had taken steps designed to help improve performance. Following such evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Funds supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Funds’ expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement, and each Fund’s net operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of a peer group of mutual funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent third party. The Trustees considered the effects of CSIM’s and Schwab’s historical practice of voluntarily waiving management and other fees to prevent total Fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. The Trustees also considered CSIM’s contractual commitment to keep each Fund’s expense cap for so long as CSIM serves as the adviser to such Fund. The Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Funds are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates, directly or indirectly. In this connection, the Trustees reviewed management’s profitability analyses, together with certain commentary thereon from an independent accounting firm. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its relationship with the Funds, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Funds, CSIM obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability under the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to each Fund by CSIM and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
 
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those are passed along to a Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by CSIM and its affiliates. In this regard, and consistent with their consideration of Fund expenses, the Trustees considered that CSIM and Schwab have committed resources to minimize the effects on shareholders of diseconomies of scale during periods when fund assets were relatively small through their contractual expense waivers. For example, such diseconomies of scale may particularly affect newer funds or funds with investment strategies that are from time to time out of favor, but shareholders may benefit from the continued availability of such funds at subsidized expense levels. The Trustees also considered the existing contractual investment advisory fee schedules relating to the Funds that, in each case, include lower fees at higher graduated asset levels. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Funds obtain reasonable benefit from economies of scale.
 
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Funds and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Funds is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.
 
At a meeting held on September 23, 2014, the Board approved a reduction to the investment advisory fee for each Fund.

Because of their structure, bonds are sometimes called “fixed income securities” or “debt securities.”

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the condensed portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights (included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR) and the portfolio holdings (included in Item 6 of this Form N-CSR) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund, Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund, Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund, Schwab International Index Fund, Schwab Fundamental US Large Company Index Fund, Schwab Fundamental US Small Company Index Fund, Schwab Fundamental International Large Company Index Fund, Schwab Fundamental International Small Company Index Fund and Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index Fund (nine of the funds constituting Schwab Capital Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2014, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements, financial highlights and portfolio holdings (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
