A Word From Charles R. Schwab
Dear Investor:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
A Fresh Look and More Helpful Features
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
This report has
been redesigned
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
to make it more informative and easier
for you to navigate. We hope you will find it a
helpful tool in making decisions about your
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Schwab Variable Annuity.(R) For

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
the letter from Charles R. Schwab.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
At Schwab, we constantly strive to provide you with the service and information
you need to become a more knowledgeable investor. To that end, we have added
some new features to this report to make it more useful and easier for you to
navigate. One of the most exciting changes is a new section that spotlights an
important topic on variable annuity investing. This issue covers asset
allocation, a wise strategy that may help improve the performance of your
overall investment portfolio and reduce the risk of investing in only one asset
type.
In addition, we've created a Portfolio Fact Sheet for each portfolio available
through The Schwab Variable Annuity(R) that gives you a snapshot of its
objectives, holdings and other information. It's an easy and quick way to keep
track of your investment choices.
As you'll see in the following pages, this report has been redesigned to help
you navigate it more easily and find the information you want. For example,
we've added tabs along the side of each page to help you locate the portfolios
and information you need.
We have also reordered the entire report according to Morningstar's categories,
which group portfolios by the asset class in which they typically invest. This
reorganization is intended to help you compare one portfolio with others of its
type and implement your asset allocation plan.
As always, you will find complete annual reports for each portfolio in The
Schwab Variable Annuity, straight from the source: the fund families themselves.
It's all part of our efforts to provide you with the help you need and the
choices you want.
Sincerely,
/s/ Charles R. Schwab
