From the President
Marie Chandoha is President and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. and the funds covered in this report.
Dear Shareholder,
At Charles Schwab Investment Management, we aim to make investing straightforward for our investors. Our goal is to provide foundational products with consistent performance that enable investors to build diversified portfolios.
Looking at year-end results, 2015 might have seemed a relatively quiet and calm year in many investment sectors. However, 2015 was actually quite unpredictable. The S&P 500 Index eked out a 1.4% gain while its counterpart benchmark bond index, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned only 0.6%. And the MSCI EAFE Index (Net), which broadly represents the performance of international stocks, returned -0.8%. However, China’s slowing economy, speculation regarding a rise in U.S. short-term interest rates, commodity price decreases, and the surging U.S dollar created uncertainty and volatility, though many indices ultimately ended the year close to their starting points.
It was within this environment that Charles Schwab Investment Management’s professional portfolio managers monitored markets and adjusted the portfolios that comprise the Schwab Monthly Income Funds. These funds seek to provide investors with current income and, as a secondary investment objective, capital appreciation. Each fund provides a payout generated from its allocation to fixed-income funds, equity funds, and money market funds.
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2015, the funds generated mixed returns as short-term interest rates remained historically low. These low rates, combined with dividends and short-term capital gains received, caused the funds’ investments in stock funds to generate more income through dividends than the funds’ investments in fixed-income funds. As a result, the Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Moderate Payout had the highest annual income payout of the three funds, reflecting its larger allocation to stock funds.

Schwab Monthly Income Fund – Moderate Payout
The Schwab Monthly Income Funds (the funds) seek to provide current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary investment objective. The funds primarily invest in a fund-of-funds structure that involves holding equity, fixed income, and money market funds selected from within the Schwab Funds and Laudus Funds complex, but they may buy individual securities and unaffiliated funds to accomplish these objectives. Holdings are based on each fund’s target asset allocation, with returns reflecting the combined performance and respective weightings of the underlying investments.
The Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Moderate Payout (the fund) is designed to offer investors a targeted annual payout of 3% to 4%1 and an increase in capital over the long term. However, during a low interest rate environment (such as the one experienced during the reporting period), the fund’s anticipated annual payout is generally expected to be 1% to 3%. The fund uses the internally calculated, custom-blended Moderate Payout Composite Index (the composite index) as a performance gauge.
Market Highlights. U.S. stocks produced mixed returns for the 12-month reporting period. Large-cap stocks, represented by the S&P 500 Index, returned 1.38%, while small-cap stocks, represented by the Russell 2000 Index, fell 4.41%. Over the reporting period, the U.S. economy showed steady, albeit slow, gains, and in December, after months of anticipation, the Federal Reserve commenced its long-awaited interest-rate hike. Internationally, both developed and emerging markets struggled amid weak global commodity prices, slowing growth in China, and economic concerns in Europe, among other impacts.
Performance.   The fund’s distribution yield (payout) was 2.68% for the year ended December 31, 2015, generally in line with the investment adviser’s expectations in the low interest rate environment. For the 12-month reporting period, the fund’s total return was -0.24%, while the composite index returned 0.88%.
Positioning and Strategies. Although the fund’s allocations to equities and fixed income vary within certain established parameters, they were broadly aligned with those of the composite index.
The fund’s U.S. large-cap equity exposure detracted the most from both the fund’s total return and relative performance. The fund’s position in the Schwab Dividend Equity FundTM returned -3.52% for the 12-month reporting period, underperforming the composite index’s U.S. large-cap equity allocation component, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 1.38%.
Among positive contributors, the Schwab Global Real Estate FundTM, the fund’s real estate position, was one of the strongest, returning 3.02% for the reporting period and contributing positively to both total return and relative performance. The fund’s international equity exposure also contributed to both total return and relative performance, with the Laudus International MarketMasters FundTM (Select Shares) returning 1.61% versus the composite index’s international equity allocation component, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net), which returned -0.81%.
The fund’s two fixed-income holdings both contributed positively to total return, with the Schwab Total Bond Market FundTM and the Schwab Intermediate-Term Bond FundTM returning 0.29% and 0.73%, respectively. Both, however, underperformed their respective benchmarks, dampening the fund’s return relative to the fund’s composite index.

1 The fund’s actual annual payout could be higher or lower than the targeted annual payout based on the interest rate environment and other market factors occurring during that year. The fund’s anticipated annual payout during a low interest rate environment is anticipated to be 1% to 3%, and, during a high interest rate environment, is anticipated to be 3% to 6%. For more information about payouts, please see the fund’s prospectus.
2 Calculation reflects the fund's monthly ordinary income distributions for the last 12 months divided by the fund's Net Asset Value as of the end of the reporting period. Distribution yield does not include capital gains distributions. Fund expenses may have been partially absorbed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. Without these reductions, the total return/yield may have been lower.
3 The fund intends to invest in a combination of the underlying funds; however, the fund may also invest directly in equity and fixed income securities, exchange-traded funds, and cash equivalents, including money market securities.
4 This list is not a recommendation of any security by the investment adviser.
5 The holdings listed exclude any temporary liquidity investments.

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 July 1, 2015 and held through December 31, 2015.
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 Schwab Monthly Income 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, cash and cash equivalents, including money market securities and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Each fund in this report offers one share class. Shares are bought and sold at closing net asset value per share (NAV), which is the price for all outstanding shares of a fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the 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 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 funds 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 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.
28

 

Schwab Monthly Income Funds
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): A short-term security may be valued at its amortized cost when it approximates the security's 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 significant inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•  Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical securitiesInvestments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities. 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 an underlying fund.
•  Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations.
•  Level 3significant unobservable inputs (including the 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.

Schwab Monthly Income Funds
Financial Notes (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
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 December 31, 2015 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 it invests. Such expenses are reflected in the net asset values of the underlying funds.
(e) Distributions to Shareholders:
The funds make distributions from net investment income monthly and from 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 net realized 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 fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.
30

 

Schwab Monthly Income 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. 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.
Structural Risk. The funds’ monthly income payments will be made from fund assets and will reduce the amount of assets available for investment by the fund. Even if a fund’s capital grows over time, such growth may be insufficient to enable the fund to maintain the amount of its targeted annual payout and targeted monthly income payments. A fund’s investment losses may reduce the amount of future cash income payments an investor will receive from the fund. The dollar amount of a fund’s monthly income payments could vary substantially from one year to the next and over time depending on several factors, including the performance of the financial markets in which the fund invests, the allocation of fund assets across different asset classes and investments, the performance of the fund’s investment strategies, and the amount and timing of prior distributions by the fund. It is also possible for payments to go down substantially from one year to the next and over time depending on the timing of an investor's investments in the fund. Any redemptions will proportionately reduce the amount of future cash income payments to be received from the fund. There is no guarantee that the fund will make monthly income payments to its shareholders or, if made, that the fund’s monthly income payments to shareholders will remain at a fixed amount.
Underlying Fund Investment Risk. The value of an investment in the funds is based primarily on the prices of the underlying funds that the funds purchase. 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 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. 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. 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 or cause the underlying fund to meet its objectives.
•   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.
•   Fixed Income Risk. Interest rates rise and fall over time, which will affect an underlying fund’s yield and share price. Because interest rates in the United States and other countries are at, or near, historically low levels, a change in a central bank’s monetary policy or improving economic conditions may result in an increase in interest rates. A sharp rise in interest rates could cause an underlying fund to lose value. 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 than investment-grade 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
31

 

Schwab Monthly Income Funds
Financial Notes (continued)
3. Risk Factors (continued):
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.
•   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 underlying fund to lose more than the initial 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.
•   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.
•   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.
•  Liquidity Risk. An underlying fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
•   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 the market for an ETF's shares can result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities.
•   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.
•   Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs) Risk. An underlying fund's investments in 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, access to capital, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. REITs are also subject to certain additional risks, for example, REITs may have their investments in relatively few properties, a small geographic area or a single property type. In addition, REITs have their own expenses, and an underlying fund will bear a proportionate share of those expenses.
•   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 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. 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.
•   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, cash 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 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 services 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 fees 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 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 funds’ total expenses charged is limited to each fund’s direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to acquired 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 December 31, 2015, each Schwab Monthly Income Fund's ownership percentages of other related funds' shares are:

* 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 funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to Trustees and Officers section). All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds/portfolios. 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:
At a Special Meeting of Shareholders on December 11, 2015, twelve individuals were elected to serve as trustees of all trusts constituting the Schwab Funds, Laudus Funds and Schwab ETFs effective January 1, 2016. The twelve individuals elected to the Board of Trustees consist of current Schwab Funds and Laudus Funds trustees, current Schwab ETFs trustees and three new nominees. The trustees believe that combining the composition of the Board of Trustees and adding the new nominees will further align oversight of the Schwab Funds, Laudus Funds and Schwab ETFs, among other benefits.
The Board may include people who are officers and/or directors of CSIM or its affiliates. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The trust did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees, but it did pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as noted on each fund’s Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

6. Borrowing from Banks:
Prior to October 8, 2015, the funds had access to 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 paid an annual fee to State Street for the committed line of credit. Effective October 8, 2015, the previous lines of credit were terminated and the funds became participants with other U.S. registered investment companies managed by CSIM in a joint, syndicated, committed $530 million line of credit (the Credit Facility), with State Street as agent, which matures on October 6, 2016. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, in addition to the interest charged on any borrowings by a fund, each fund pays a commitment fee of 0.125% per annum on its proportionate share of the unused portion of the Credit Facility. There were no borrowings from any of the lines of credit during the period.
The funds also have access to custodian overdraft facilities. A fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on 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 December 31, 2015, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding short-term obligations) were as follows:

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) ($567,213)   $1,699,700   $689,992
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 December 31, 2015, the funds had no capital loss carryforwards.
For tax purposes, net realized capital losses and late-year ordinary losses incurred after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the funds had no capital losses deferred and 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 reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
Permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The adjustments will have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of December 31, 2015, the funds made the following reclassifications:
  Schwab

As of December 31, 2015, 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 December 31, 2015, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
9. Subsequent Events:
Management has determined there are no subsequent events or transactions through the date the financial statements were issued that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of:
Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Moderate Payout
Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Enhanced Payout
Schwab Monthly Income Fund—Maximum Payout
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 Monthly Income Fund - Moderate Payout, Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Enhanced Payout and Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Maximum Payout (three of the funds constituting Schwab Capital Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at December 31, 2015, 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 held in the underlying funds at December 31, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent of the underlying funds, respectively, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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-backed securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), 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 gain or loss is still “on paper” and is considered unrealized.
Enhanced Payout Composite Index  A custom blended index developed by CSIM based on a comparable portfolio asset allocation. Effective April 1, 2013, the Enhanced Payout Composite Index is composed of 19.50% S&P 500 Index, 8.12% MSCI EAFE (Net) Index, 4.88% FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Index (Net), 39.30% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond
Index, 26.20% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Intermediate Bond Index, and 2.00% Barclays U.S. Treasury Bills: 1 – 3 Months Index. Prior to April 1, 2013, the Enhanced Payout Composite Index was composed of 25% S&P 500 Index and 75% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
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 real estate investment trusts (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.
Maximum Payout Composite Index  A custom blended index developed by CSIM based on a comparable portfolio asset allocation. Effective April 1, 2013, the Maximum Payout Composite Index is composed of 10.50% S&P 500 Index, 4.37% MSCI EAFE (Net) Index, 2.63% FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Index (Net), 48.30% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 32.20% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Intermediate Bond Index, and 2.00% Barclays U.S. Treasury Bills: 1 – 3 Months Index. Prior to April 1, 2013, the Maximum Payout Composite Index was composed of 10% S&P 500 Index and 90% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
Moderate Payout Composite Index  A custom blended index developed by CSIM based on a comparable portfolio asset allocation. Effective April 1, 2013, the Moderate Payout Composite Index is composed of 28.50% S&P 500 Index, 11.87% MSCI EAFE (Net) Index, 7.13% FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Index (Net), 30.30% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 20.20% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Intermediate Bond Index, and 2.00% Barclays U.S. Treasury Bills: 1 – 3 Months Index. Prior to April 1, 2013, the Moderate Payout Composite Index was composed of 40% S&P 500 Index and 60% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
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.
44

 

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.

stock  A share of ownership, or equity, in the issuing company.

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.
