The Schwab Fundamental Global Real Estate Index Fund recently sent you proxy materials requesting your vote on an important proposal that will impact the operating expenses of the Fund. The Special Meeting of Shareholders has been adjourned until May 30, 2017, so there is still time to vote!

Although the response of Fund shareholders who have voted has been positive, we need your vote in order to pass this important proposal. Your vote matters, it doesn’t matter how many or few shares you own. The Board of Trustees is recommending that you vote “FOR” the proposal and believes shareholders will benefit from overall lower total expenses being borne by the Fund, as discussed in detail in the proxy statement.

The Fund has made it easy for you to vote – you may use the following options:

Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM), the investment advisor for Schwab Funds, and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), Member SIPC, the distributor for Schwab Funds, are separate but affiliated companies and subsidiaries of The Charles Schwab Corporation. (0517-Z034)
