A Word From Charles R. Schwab

Dear Schwab Select AnnuityTM Investor:

I am pleased to provide you with this semi-annual report for the Schwab Select
Annuity. Inside you'll find individual semi-annual reports for the portfolios in
the Schwab Select Annuity, developed by the investment companies that manage the
portfolios.1

The past six months were an exciting, though occasionally volatile, period for
investors. While it's true that volatility can test the resolve of any investor,
we encourage you to stay focused on your long-term goals and not be swayed by
the market's natural fluctuations over the short term. Even investment
professionals who have been investing for many years or even decades find that
trying to call the market's highs and lows is a difficult, if not impossible,
task. Time and again, we've seen investors sell when the market is down only to
miss out when it later rebounds.

As you may know, tax-deferred investment vehicles such as the Schwab Select
Annuity can be a valuable component of a consistent, long-term investment plan.
To help you become more familiar with the terms you're likely to encounter as
you go through the process of selecting, contributing to and receiving payouts
from your Schwab Select Annuity, this report features an informative,
easy-to-read guide to the unique language of variable annuities.

We hope you'll find this report a useful tool as you review your financial
situation and plan for the future. If you have any questions, please don't
hesitate to call one of our licensed representative at 1-800-838-0650 (New York

Learning the Language of Variable Annuities
A Glossary for Investors

Variable annuities can be a great way to supplement retirement savings, but they
have a language all their own. Even experienced investors can find terms like
"surrender charge," "death benefit" and "annuitant" confusing. The following
hypothetical example defines terms you're likely to encounter as you go through
the process of selecting, contributing to and receiving payouts from a variable
annuity.

Step 1: Considering the Features of a Variable Annuity

Let's say that a hypothetical investor, who we'll call John Q. Investor, has
contributed the maximum amount the IRS allows to his IRA and 401(k). To help
prepare for retirement, he has also been contributing to a nonqualified variable
annuity, an account that is separate from his qualified retirement plans like
his IRA and 401(k).

John is considering transferring assets from his current variable annuity to one
that offers him lower cost and more flexibility. One of the many advantages of
variable annuities is that investors can exchange one annuity contract for
another, tax free, in what the Internal Revenue Service calls a 1035 Exchange.

Whether making a 1035 Exchange or investing in an annuity for the first time,
investors like John have a number of factors--and terms--to bear in mind as they
consider their choices. First, John will have to consider whether his current
annuity imposes a surrender charge, which is a fee investors may have to pay
when they withdraw money before a specified date. Many variable annuities charge
a surrender fee of as much as 9% or more that declines incrementally over the
course of several years. So it might not be cost-effective for John to transfer
now if his current annuity's surrender charge is still in effect. Investors
should also find out whether the annuity they're planning to transfer money into
imposes a surrender charge. Some variable annuities, including the Schwab Select
Annuity,(TM) do not impose any surrender charge. Investors can learn about the
fees and expenses annuities may charge in the annuity product prospectus.

Next, John should consider the selection and type of individual investment
choices 1 a variable annuity includes, since a broad selection representing
various asset classes gives investors like John the flexibility to help him meet
his investment goals. Technically, these investment choices are known as
subaccounts, which then invest in underlying portfolios, that are sometimes
modeled after publicly traded mutual funds. The annuity account value varies
according to the performance of these portfolios. Do the investment choices
cover a broad range of investment objectives? What fund families are
represented?

In addition, John should also compare other fees and charges that may be imposed
by the variable annuity contract. These can vary considerably among variable
annuities. For example, he will probably want an annuity with a low mortality
and expense (M&E) risk charge, which is a percentage of an annuity account's
assets that the insurance company charges to cover the costs of providing the
annuity's insurance benefits. The industry average M&E is 1.27%2, considerably
higher than the Schwab Select Annuity's M&E of just 0.85%. Within each annuity,
some investment choices may also impose a load, or sales charge, while others
are no load. For example, the Schwab Select Annuity offers 29 no-load investment
choices. Finally, John might consider additional factors that distinguish one
variable annu- ity from another. The Schwab Select Annuity, for example, offers
day and night touch-tone and online account access as well as phone
representative access from 6:00 am to 4:30 pm Pacific time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 The investment choices include 29 subaccounts offered through the Schwab
Select Annuity . When you invest in a variable annuity, you do not invest
directly in the portfolios, you invest in subaccounts of a separate account
established by the issuing insurance company that, in turn, invests in the
portfolios. 2 Source: 6/30/00 Morningstar Variable Annuities/Life; 402 variable
annuities surveyed. See prospectus for details on expenses applicable to the
underlying portfolios and contract fees.

Step 2: The Application

Once John has chosen his new annuity, he then moves on to the next stage:
completing the application.

One of the first terms John might encounter is annuitant, the person named on
the application upon whose life the payout of an annuity is based and who will
receive annuity payouts during his or her lifetime. Generally speaking, the
annuitant is also the owner of the annuity contract, unless the owner specifies
otherwise. The owner is entitled to exercise all rights and privileges under the
annuity contract.

At this stage, John will also choose how he wants his annuity assets invested.
In addition to investment choices that provide access to various segments of the
stock, bond and money markets, he might consider a guaranteed period fund (also
known as a fixed interest choice), which pays a stated rate of interest for a
specified time period. The Schwab Select Annuity(TM) offers 10 guaranteed period
funds.3

Step 3: The Accumulation Period

The contract is now in the accumulation period, a time in which John's annuity
assets may grow, tax deferred.4 During this phase, John invests or deposits
money, called contributions, in his annuity. The date on which his first
contribution is credited to his annuity account is known as the effective date.

After the effective date, John can look over the contract, free of obligation,
for at least 10 days (or longer, depending on his state's laws). This is known
as the free look period. At any time during this period, he can cancel his
contract without owing any insurance or surrender charge.

During the accumulation period, John can implement his long-term investment
strategy. One simple way he might consider building assets over time is called
dollar cost averaging, which allows periodic investments over time.

This can allow the investor to buy more units (a standard measure of investment
in an annuity) when their price is low and fewer units when their price is high.
Over time, the average cost per unit may be less than if the investor invested
all of his or her money at one time. Dollar cost averaging does not, however,
assure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market.

The accumulation period may continue for years or even decades. If the owner or
annuitant dies at any time during this phase, his or her beneficiaries will
receive what is known as a guaranteed death benefit--either the amount of money
the annuitant contributed to the plan or the contract's current value, at the
time of his or her death, whichever is greater.

Key Terms

when considering a variable annuity

Mortality & Expense Fee (M&E) The percentage of an annuity account's assets
that the insurance company charges to cover costs for providing the
annuity's insurance benefits.

Surrender Charge
The fee annuity investors may have to pay when they withdraw money from
their annuity before a specified date. (Not all annuities impose this
fee).

1035 Exchange
A tax-free transfer of annuity assets (as permitted under the Internal
Revenue Code, Section 1035) from one variable annuity to another.3 Early
withdrawals from the fixed interest choices are subject to a market value
adjustment, which may reduce the value of amounts held in these certificates
below the amount of your contribution.

4 Under current tax laws, earnings are not taxable until withdrawn. Earnings
withdrawn before 59 1/2 may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty.

Step 4: Receiving Payouts
The annuity commencement date is when the contract stops accumulating and John's
annuity income payments start. The time in which he receives payments is the
annuity payout period or distribution period; it continues until all annuity
payouts have been made under the terms of the contract. With the Schwab Select
Annuity,(TM) if John did not indicate an annuity commencement date on his
application or in the interim, annuity payouts would begin on the first day of
the month of his 91st birthday.

When John does decide to start taking assets out of his annuity, he can elect to
receive payouts in a number of different ways. Fixed annuity payout, based on a
fixed rate of return, generates a guaranteed stream of equal payments.5 Variable
annuity payout lets his assets remain allocated among the underlying portfolios,
which can be a smart way to keep his long-term investment growing. The payments
he receives will fluctuate in response to changes in the market value of the
portfolios he selected.

Most annuities offer a few different ways to receive payouts:

o Life Annuity guarantees payments for his lifetime.
o Period Certain Annuity guarantees a schedule of payments for as long as
he would like, so he can plan for income during a specific number of
years. (This choice is not available with variable payout.) o Life
Annuity with Period Certain combines the advantages of the Life Annuity
and the Period Certain Annuity plans by guaranteeing a payout during a
set period or for his lifetime, whichever is longer. o Lump-sum payment
or periodic payouts: With a lump-sum withdrawal, John can receive his
entire annuity balance in a single payment. Periodic withdrawals would
give him complete control over the amount and timing of each withdrawal,
providing him with the flexibility to withdraw money only when he needs
it.

The advantage of having choices like these is one good reason to become familiar
with the unique language of variable annuities. If you have further questions,

The investment objective of the Fund is capital appreciation. It invests
primarily in equity securities of small companies whose market capitalization,
at the time of initial purchase, is less than the 12-month average of the
maximum market capitalization for companies included in the Russell 2000 Index.

Small-company stocks are generally subject to greater volatility than stocks of
large, blue chip corporations.

Investment Orientation
Seeks moderate capital appreciation and high current income by investing in a
diversified portfolio of the equity and debt securities of utility companies.

Who is Most Likely to Choose This Portfolio?*
Long-term investors who want a narrowly focused investment. Portfolios in this
category invest in companies from a narrowly defined industry or segment of the
market and carry substantially more risk than a broadly diversified equity
portfolio. This person's time horizon is generally greater than 10 years.
