A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
 
Dear Shareholder,
 
The U.S. stock market rallied strongly over most of the six-month period ended
April 30, 1998. So did many European markets. Despite investors' concerns about
Asia's financial crisis last autumn, economic conditions continued to provide a
solid underpinning for U.S. business activity. Once again, blue chips led the
rally, though many smaller-cap stocks posted very solid gains in absolute terms.
You'll find more insight about the overall market beginning on page 4.

                  As pleased as we are with the performance of our Funds during
                  this period, we want to be realistic. Over most of this
                  century, for example, the U.S. stock market has returned an
                  average of 11% to 12% PER YEAR, not per quarter. We encourage
investors to keep that in mind should the market revert to its historical
pattern of more-moderate performance.
 
Our philosophy has always been that REGULAR INVESTING, regardless of short-term
market trends, is the best strategy over the long term. By investing in one of
our SchwabFunds-Registered Trademark-, you've already taken an important step in
building a portfolio that can help you meet your future goals. On the following
pages, we outline several ways to help ensure that you reach those goals by
establishing--or maintaining--an ongoing investment program.
 
NEW INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO CONSIDER
We are proud to introduce a new addition to our family of Funds: THE SCHWAB
MARKETTRACK ALL EQUITY PORTFOLIO. (SCHWAB MARKETTRACK PORTFOLIOS-TM- is the new
name of Schwab's Asset Director-Registered Trademark- Funds.) This Portfolio,
which targets 100% equity investing, can provide you with diversified exposure
to three different areas of the stock market: U.S. large-company, U.S.
small-company and international stocks. We also offer three other MarketTrack
Portfolios: Growth, Balanced and Conservative. Each invests a different
proportion of its assets in bonds and cash in addition to stocks.
 
For additional information and a free prospectus on the Schwab MarketTrack
Portfolios or any of our SchwabFunds, please call us toll free at
1-800-435-4000. Each prospectus contains more-complete information on our Funds,
including their fees and expenses; please read the prospectus carefully before
you invest.
 
The support of investors like you has helped Charles Schwab Investment
Management, Inc. (CSIM) become one of the largest and fastest-growing mutual
fund families in the nation. CSIM now manages more than $63 billion in assets on
behalf of more than 3.3 million SchwabFunds shareholders. We offer a full
spectrum of 34 mutual funds for investors with varying financial situations and
goals.
 
Once again, thank you for your investment in SchwabFunds. We continue to do
everything we can to warrant the trust you have placed in us.
 
Sincerely,
 
/s/ Charles R. Schwab

WHAT EVERY INVESTOR SHOULD KNOW
 
WHY ASSET ALLOCATION MATTERS
 
As most investors know, one of the most compelling reasons to invest in a mutual
fund is diversification. By allocating your assets across many different
securities, a fund helps reduce the risk that you might otherwise encounter by
owning just a few stocks or bonds.
 
Don't forget, however, that diversification across your portfolio can be just as
important as diversification within one of the mutual funds you own. As you
probably know, stocks have historically offered much higher returns over the
long term than bonds, cash or other asset classes, but those returns have come
at the price of higher volatility. To help mitigate some of that risk, many
investors often include at least some bonds and cash in their portfolios. They
also diversify their equity exposure across different market segments-- such as
U.S. large-cap, U.S. small-cap and international, which have tended to move with
less than perfect correlation over time. In short, allocating assets across
market segments may help reduce your overall portfolio risk.
 
REGULAR-INVESTING STRATEGIES
 
Another way to help dampen the effects of short-term market volatility is to
invest the same amount of money on a regular basis. With this investment
strategy, known as DOLLAR-COST AVERAGING, you automatically buy more shares when
stock or bond prices are low and fewer when they're high.
 
A hypothetical example can help illustrate this concept. Let's say you invest
$400 on a monthly basis in a single mutual fund, as shown in the illustration
below. Because of fluctuating prices, your per-share purchase price varies
monthly. A simple average of your five purchase prices would yield $8.20 per
share; however, your AVERAGE COST BASIS (your total investment divided by the
number of shares actually purchased) would be significantly lower--by more than
$0.50 per share. The net result in this example is that your average cost per
share is reduced and you'd have purchased more shares than you would have had
you paid the average share price over the five-month period.

PER-SHARE ADVANTAGE:                                   $0.51
</TABLE>
 
This example is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to predict or
guarantee the performance of any particular fund available through Schwab.
 
(Of course, in this example, hindsight shows you that your best move would have
been to invest your entire $2,000 in Month 3 when the share price was at a low
of $5--but it's unlikely that you would have been able to predict that.)

 THE SCHWAB APPROACH TO INVESTING
 
    - START WITH THE BASICS FOR LONG-TERM INVESTING.
 
    - GET STARTED NOW!
 
    - KNOW YOURSELF.
 
    - INVEST IN THE STOCK MARKET FOR GROWTH.
 
    - TAKE A LONG-TERM VIEW.
 
    - BUILD A DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO.
 
    - CONSIDER BONDS AND CASH FOR DIVERSIFICATION AND INCOME.
 
    - MINIMIZE YOUR EXPENSES.
 
    - STAY ON TRACK.
 
    - BECOME A LIFELONG INVESTOR.
 
In addition to reducing your per-share costs over time, dollar-cost averaging
provides you another benefit: the discipline of investing regularly. You're more
likely to maintain a regular investment plan if it's automatic; not only do you
not have to even think about it, but you minimize any propensity to skip an
investment in favor of some other expenditure. To encourage this discipline,
Schwab offers you two convenient, no-cost ways to begin or maintain a program of
regular investing:
 
Schwab's AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN (AIP) allows you to automatically
purchase--on a regular basis-- additional shares in mutual funds that you
already own. For amounts as little as $100 per month, you can use the cash or
sweep shares of your existing Schwab Money Fund,(1) or you can enroll in
Schwab's free MoneyLink Transfer Service-Registered Trademark- to automatically
transfer money to your Schwab account.
 
With MONEYLINK TRANSFER SERVICE, you can arrange to regularly and automatically
transfer $50 or more from your bank account, payroll or government check into
your Schwab account. It's a great way to build your investment over time.(2)
 
Please be aware that these programs--and dollar-cost averaging in general--do
not ensure a profit or protect against a loss, and investors should know that
markets fall as well as rise. Over the long term, however, dollar-cost averaging
may help to smooth out volatility caused by short-term market trends. For more
information about these programs, please call us at 1-800-435-4000.
 
WE MAKE IT EASY TO INVEST
 
We try to make it easy and convenient for you to invest in our
SchwabFunds-Registered Trademark-. In addition to our automated methods, you can

(1)Includes uninvested cash and margin cash available. If sufficient cash is not
   available, your automatic purchases will not be made.
 
(2)The terms of your specific Schwab account will dictate when your Schwab
   MoneyLink transfers are swept into a money market fund and begin earning
   money market dividend income.

At the time of this writing, THE U.S. ECONOMY APPEARS POISED FOR CONTINUED
GROWTH, further extending the current economic expansion that began in 1991.
Many economists expect Asia's economic problems to reduce 1998 U.S. GDP growth
by only a relatively minor 0.25 to 1.0 percentage point.
 
PRIOR TO THE FOURTH-QUARTER ONSET OF THE "ASIAN FLU," the U.S. economy's
strength and tight labor markets led investors to speculate about whether wage
and price inflation were accelerating. Some investors also believed that the
Federal Reserve was on the verge of raising interest rates to head off a
potential acceleration in both wage and price inflation. As Federal Reserve
Chairman Alan Greenspan said in his February congressional testimony, "The key
question going forward is whether the restraint building from the turmoil in
Asia will be sufficient to check inflationary tendencies that might otherwise
result from the strength of domestic spending and tightening labor markets." At
the moment, many economists believe that Federal Reserve policy-makers are now
more inclined to raise interest rates than they have been in the past, but are
refraining from doing so because inflation remains tame and Asia's continuing
problems may dampen both global and domestic growth.
 
UNEMPLOYMENT
 
JOB GROWTH IN THE UNITED STATES HAS REMAINED ROBUST. In fact, the U.S.
unemployment rate reached 4.3% in April--the lowest level in 28 years.

THE CPI ROSE just 1.4% over the year ended April 1998--the lowest rate of
increase since 1986. Its core rate (which excludes the more volatile food and
energy components) rose 2.1%--the lowest rate of increase since 1965. Investors
were somewhat more concerned about the ECI, and its wages and salaries component
in particular. That segment of the ECI increased 3.7% during the year ended
April 1998.
 
EVEN THOUGH CURRENT LEVELS OF INFLATION ARE VERY LOW, Federal Reserve
policy-makers have indicated that they believe the risk of inflation is
increasing, and they are poised to act preemptively by raising interest rates if
they believe that is necessary. The Federal Reserve did raise interest rates in
March 1997, increasing the federal funds rate by 0.25 percentage point to 5.5%.
By the end of April, many economists believed that Federal Reserve policy-makers
were once again inclined to raise interest rates, but there was a lack of
consensus about when the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates, if in fact
it would, and by how much.
 
TOTAL-RETURN PERFORMANCE
 
MOST U.S. STOCKS posted strong total returns from November 1, 1997, through
April 30, 1998. Large-caps continued to outperform small-caps, as reflected in
the 22.5% return of the S&P 500-Registered Trademark- Index versus the 13.4%
return of the Schwab Small-Cap Index-Registered Trademark- over the period.
Amazingly, the S&P 500 Index posted its thirteenth consecutive quarterly gain
during the first quarter of 1998 and posted an incredible return of 41% for the
12-month period ended April 1998.
 
INTERNATIONAL STOCKS, as represented by the Schwab International
Index-Registered Trademark-, gained 15.2% over the six-month period, primarily
on the strength of European markets.
 
FIXED-INCOME RETURNS were more in line with long-term expectations during the
reporting period. Bond returns, as represented by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index, were 3.6% over the six-month reporting period.

TOTAL RETURN ASSUMES REINVESTMENT OF ALL DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS
DISTRIBUTIONS. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS. The indices
are intended to represent the returns of specific market sectors during the
funds' six-month reporting period and do not reflect the performance of any
fund. Indices are unmanaged and, unlike a fund, do not reflect the payment of
advisory fees and other expenses associated with an investment in a fund.
Investors cannot invest in an index directly.
 
S&P 500 PRICE/EARNINGS RATIO
 
THE PRICE/EARNINGS RATIO for the S&P 500 Index reached its highest value ever
during the reporting period: It stood at 26.5 at the close of the reporting
period, well above its 30-year average of 14.8. The price/earnings ratio, also
known as a multiple, is the price of a stock divided by its earnings per share
and generally indicates how much investors are willing to pay for a company's
earning potential.
 
Based on other traditional market valuation measures such as the price-to-book
value ratio or dividend yield, the U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P 500
Index, also reached historic highs during the reporting period.

THE PRIMARY FACTORS DRIVING THESE HISTORIC EQUITY VALUATIONS have been low
inflation, low interest rates, healthy corporate earnings expectations, a
decline in the amount of equities outstanding (due to merger activity and share
buybacks) and high levels of consumer optimism. Changes in any of these factors
could have a negative impact on these lofty market valuations.
INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE
 
MOST EUROPEAN EQUITY MARKETS were strong during the six months ended April 30,
1998, with the highest returns in Spain, Italy, Finland and Ireland. In
contrast, many Asian markets declined sharply over the period; the weakest were
Malaysia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Japan.

TAX-SMART INVESTMENT STRATEGY
 
The Schwab S&P 500 Fund seeks to maximize its after-tax performance by using a
strategy that helps reduce capital gains distributions. This strategy is
designed to help investors keep more of what their money earns. The chart below
illustrates the effects of this strategy on the one-year performance of the
Schwab S&P 500 Fund Investor Shares.

(2)After-tax returns assume the maximum federal income tax rate of 39.6% on
   dividends and 28% on capital gains distributions. Tax rates vary and may be
   higher or lower than those shown.
 
(3)The Investment Manager and Schwab waived a portion of their fees during the
   reporting period and have guaranteed through at least 2/29/2000 that total
   operating expenses will not exceed 0.35%. Without fee waivers and guarantees,
   the Investor Shares' returns would have been lower.
 
(4)Source: Morningstar, Inc. Returns are load-adjusted. The Large-Cap Fund
   category contains 761 funds with one-year track records as of 4/30/98. These
   funds may or may not follow a tax-efficient strategy similar to that followed
   by the Schwab S&P 500 Fund. Also, although many mutual funds have multiple
   classes of shares, the category average includes only those funds that were
   classified by Morningstar as a distinct portfolio. This typically means that
   a fund's oldest class of shares was used.

This graph compares the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the
Schwab S&P 500 Fund Investor Shares and e.Shares, made at their inception, with
a similar investment in the S&P 500-Registered Trademark- Index.
 
Also shown is the difference between the total returns of the S&P 500 Index and
the Schwab S&P 500 Fund, which is often referred to as the "tracking
differential." The tracking differential arises due to several factors. For
example, the Fund, unlike the index, incurs trading costs when it buys or sells
securities and also has operating expenses. The Fund also may hold nonindex
securities that can produce either higher or lower returns than their index
counterparts. Furthermore, unlike the index, the Fund holds a portion of its
assets in cash.
 
THIS INFORMATION IS HISTORICAL AND DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE RESULTS. TOTAL
RETURNS ASSUME REINVESTMENT OF ALL DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS.
PRINCIPAL VALUE AND INVESTMENT RETURNS WILL FLUCTUATE, SO AN INVESTOR'S SHARES,
WHEN REDEEMED, MAY BE WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN THEIR ORIGINAL COST. Indices are
unmanaged and do not reflect advisory fees and other expenses associated with an
investment in the Fund. Investors cannot invest in an index directly.

FUND DISCUSSION
 
QUESTIONS TO THE
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM
 
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE
REPORTING PERIOD?
 
A. The Fund achieved strong total returns for the six-month reporting period:
22.2%, 22.2% and 22.3% for the Investor Shares, e.Shares-TM- and Select
Shares-TM-, respectively. All classes of shares closely tracked the Fund's
benchmark, the S&P 500-Registered Trademark- Index. As the table below reveals,
the Fund also outperformed the average U.S. large-cap fund over the six-month
and one-year periods ended April 30, 1998.(1) The Fund's outperformance was even
greater on an after-tax basis, a direct result of its tax-efficient investment
strategy.

Q. WHY CAN INDEX FUNDS BE A SOUND WAY TO IMPLEMENT AN ASSET ALLOCATION PLAN?
 
A. One frequently cited study has shown that the manner in which an investor
allocates his or her portfolio among different asset classes can determine the
vast majority of the variance in the portfolio's returns.(2) Unless investors
build their portfolios with investments that are designed to consistently
deliver the performance of the asset classes they wish to track, their
portfolios may not behave as they expect.
 
Index funds can be an excellent choice to implement an asset allocation plan
because they seek to invest only in the intended asset class and therefore
should, because of their investment objectives, achieve returns that closely
track those of that benchmark asset class. Index funds should not be subject to
the "style drift" that investors may face with many actively managed funds.
Consistent with their mission to track their benchmarks, index funds also
usually maintain minimal cash holdings.
 
In addition to seeking to deliver consistent asset class performance, index
funds are typically efficient from both a cost and a tax standpoint. Most index
funds minimize their trading and operating costs by keeping both portfolio
turnover and operating expense ratios low. These savings are passed on to
investors in the form of higher returns.
 
Q. DO INDEX FUNDS REDUCE INVESTMENT RISK?
 
A. It depends on the type of risk. Most investment risks can be categorized as
either SYSTEMATIC (non-diversifiable) or NONSYSTEMATIC (diversifiable).
 
Systematic or nondiversifiable risks are those that may affect all stocks or
bonds, such as a bear market caused by adverse economic conditions. Index funds
do not safeguard against this type of risk. Their goal is to consistently track
their benchmark regardless of how it is performing. They also generally maintain

   category contains 798 and 761 funds, respectively, with six-month and
   one-year track records as of 4/30/98. These funds may or may not follow a
   tax-efficient strategy similar to that followed by all classes of the Schwab
   S&P 500 Fund. Also, although many mutual funds have multiple classes of
   shares, the category average includes only those funds that were classified
   by Morningstar as a distinct portfolio. This typically means that a fund's
   oldest class of shares was used.

minimal cash balances, so they do not build up a defensive cash position in a
negative market environment.
 
Nonsystematic risks are those that affect a particular stock or bond, such as a
decline in demand for a company's product or a negative earnings surprise.
Nonsystematic risk is also referred to as "diversifiable risk," because an
investor can reduce it by diversifying his or her portfolio across a
sufficiently large number of companies. Since most broad-based index funds
purchase many--in some cases, hundreds of-- securities, they can be effective at
minimizing non-systematic or company-specific risk.
 
Q. BECAUSE THE STOCK MARKET HAS REACHED RECORD HIGHS, IS IT TIME TO RETHINK MY
ALLOCATION TO STOCKS?
 
A. Whenever the returns of asset classes have diverged significantly from one
another, it can be prudent to review your portfolio's asset allocation. For
example, U.S. large-cap stocks dramatically outperformed U.S. bonds over the
three-year period ended April 30, 1998. This performance disparity is evident in
the average annual returns of the Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered Trademark- and the
Schwab Total Bond Market Index Fund over that period: The Schwab 1000 Fund,
which invests in U.S. large-cap stocks, gained 30.92%, whereas the Schwab Total
Bond Market Index Fund rose 8.84%.(1)
 
This disparity may have caused an investor's portfolio asset allocation to
shift, as the following example illustrates. Assume that an investor had a
hypothetical asset allocation of 60% stocks and 40% bonds (investing in just
these two Funds) at the beginning of the three-year period, and reinvested all
Fund distributions. By the end of the period, the portfolio's asset allocation
mix would have shifted to 72% stocks and 28% bonds--a significant divergence
from the investor's original strategy (see chart below).
 
We feel that investors should focus on their own risk profiles, time horizons
and income needs to determine the appropriate level of stocks and bonds in their
portfolios. Because bond returns historically have not been well correlated with
stock returns,(2) combining bonds in a portfolio with other asset classes can be
effective in reducing total portfolio volatility.
 
(1)Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains
   distributions, if any. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
   Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, so an investor's
   shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. A
   portion of both Funds' expenses was reduced during the period. Without these
   reductions, the Funds' total returns would have been lower. As of 4/30/98,
   the one-year and average annual five-year total returns for the Total Bond
   Market Index Fund were 11.34% and 7.25%, respectively. As of 3/31/98, the
   one-year, average annual five-year and average annual since-inception
   (3/5/93) total returns for the Total Bond Market Index Fund were 13.05%,
   7.47% and 6.80%, respectively.
 
(2)For the 20-year period ended 12/31/97, the correlation of large-cap stock
   returns and government bond returns has been 0.38. Source: Symphony Asset
   Management.

TAX-SMART INVESTMENT STRATEGY
 
The Schwab 1000 Fund seeks to maximize its after-tax performance by using a
strategy that helps reduce capital gains distributions. This strategy is
designed to help investors keep more of what their money earns. The chart below
illustrates the effects of this strategy on the five-year performance of the
Schwab 1000 Fund Investor Shares.

FUND DISCUSSION
 
QUESTIONS TO THE
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM
 
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
 
A. The Fund achieved strong total returns for the six-month reporting period:
21.99% and 22.07% for the Investor Shares and Select Shares-TM-, respectively.
Both classes of shares closely tracked the Fund's benchmark, the Schwab 1000
Index-Registered Trademark-. As the table below shows, the Fund also
outperformed the average U.S. large-cap fund over the six-month and five-year
periods ended April 30.(1) The Fund's outperformance was even greater on an
after-tax basis, a direct result of its tax-efficient investment strategy.

Q. HOW DID THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SCHWAB 1000 INDEX COMPARE WITH THAT OF THE S&P
500-REGISTERED TRADEMARK- INDEX?
 
A. As the following table reveals, the performance of the Schwab 1000 Index and
that of the S&P 500 Index were virtually identical over the six-month reporting
period and from the Fund's inception through April 30, 1998. As we have
discussed in previous reports, this will not always be the case, because the
indices are not constructed in the same manner; in particular, the Schwab 1000
Index has more mid-cap stock exposure than does the S&P 500 Index, in addition
to holding approximately twice as many stocks.

Q. WHY CAN INDEX FUNDS BE A SOUND WAY TO IMPLEMENT AN ASSET ALLOCATION PLAN?
 
A. One frequently cited study has shown that the manner in which an investor
allocates his or her portfolio among different asset classes can determine the
vast majority of the variance in the portfolio's returns.(2) Unless investors
build their portfolios with investments that are designed to consistently
deliver the performance of the asset classes they wish to track, their
portfolios may not behave as they expect.
 
Index funds can be an excellent choice to implement an asset allocation plan
because they seek to invest only in the intended asset class and therefore
should, because of their investment objectives, achieve returns that closely
track those of that benchmark asset class. Index funds should not be subject to
the "style drift" that investors may face with many actively managed funds.
Consistent with their mission to track their benchmarks, index funds also
usually maintain minimal cash holdings.
 
(1)Source: Morningstar, Inc. Returns are load-adjusted. The Large-Cap Fund
   category contains 798 and 477 funds, respectively, with six-month and
   five-year track records as of 4/30/98. These funds may or may not follow a
   tax-efficient strategy similar to that followed by the Schwab 1000 Fund.
   Also, although many mutual funds have multiple classes of shares, the
   category average includes only those funds that were classified by
   Morningstar as a distinct portfolio. This typically means that a fund's
   oldest class of shares was used.

<PAGE>
 
In addition to seeking to deliver consistent asset class performance, index
funds are typically efficient from both a cost and a tax standpoint. Most index
funds minimize their trading and operating costs by keeping both portfolio
turnover and operating expense ratios low. These savings are passed on to
investors in the form of higher returns.
 
Q. DO INDEX FUNDS REDUCE INVESTMENT RISK?
 
A. It depends on the type of risk. Most investment risks can be categorized as
either SYSTEMATIC (non-diversifiable) or NONSYSTEMATIC (diversifiable).
 
Systematic or nondiversifiable risks are those that may affect all stocks or
bonds, such as a bear market caused by adverse economic conditions. Index funds
do not safeguard against this type of risk. Their goal is to consistently track
their benchmark, regardless of how it is performing. They also generally
maintain minimal cash balances, so they do not build up a defensive cash
position in a negative market environment.
 
Nonsystematic risks are those that affect a particular stock or bond, such as a
decline in demand for a company's product or a negative earnings surprise.
Nonsystematic risk is also referred to as "diversifiable risk," because an
investor can reduce it by diversifying his or her portfolio across a
sufficiently large number of companies. Since most broad-based index funds
purchase many--in some cases, hundreds of-- securities, they can be extremely
effective at minimizing nonsystematic or company-specific risk.
 
Q. BECAUSE THE STOCK MARKET HAS REACHED RECORD HIGHS, IS IT TIME TO RETHINK MY
ALLOCATION TO STOCKS?
 
A. Whenever the returns of asset classes have diverged significantly from one
another, it can be prudent to review your portfolio's asset allocation. For
example, U.S. large-cap stocks dramatically outperformed U.S. bonds over the
three-year period ended April 30, 1998. This performance disparity is
illustrated by the average annual returns of the Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered
Trademark- and the Schwab Total Bond Market Index Fund over that period: The
Schwab 1000 Fund, which invests in large-cap domestic equities, gained 30.92%,
whereas the Schwab Total Bond Market Index Fund rose 8.84%.(1)
 
This disparity may have caused an investor's portfolio asset allocation to
shift, as the following example illustrates. Assume that an investor had a
hypothetical asset allocation of 60% stocks and 40% bonds (investing in just
these two Funds) at the beginning of the three-year period, and reinvested all
Fund distributions. By the end of the period, the portfolio's asset allocation
mix would have shifted to 72% stocks and 28% bonds--a significant divergence
from the investor's original strategy (see chart on the following page).
 
We feel that investors should focus on their own risk profiles, time horizons
and income needs to determine the appropriate level of stocks and bonds in their
portfolios. Because bond returns historically have not been well correlated with
stock returns,(2) combining bonds in a portfolio with other asset classes can be
effective in reducing total portfolio volatility.
 
(1)Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains
   distributions, if any. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
   Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, so an investor's
   shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. A
   portion of both Funds' expenses was reduced during the period. Without these
   reductions, the Funds' total returns would have been lower. As of 4/30/98,
   the one-year and average annual five-year total returns for the Total Bond
   Market Index Fund were 11.34% and 7.25%, respectively. As of 3/31/98, the
   one-year, average annual five-year and average annual since-inception
   (3/5/93) total returns for the Total Bond Market Index Fund were 13.05%,
   7.47% and 6.80%, respectively.
 
(2)For the 20-year period ended 12/31/97, the correlation of large-cap stock
   returns and government bond returns has been 0.38. Source: Symphony Asset

Q. YOU OFTEN REFER TO THE SCHWAB 1000 FUND
AS "TAX-EFFICIENT." WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
ARE TAX-EFFICIENT FUNDS APPROPRIATE FOR RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS?
 
A. Taxes can erode the returns investors earn from mutual funds held outside a
retirement account. That's why it is important to consider their effects on fund
performance. As the Tax-Smart Investment Strategy section on page 14 shows, the
Schwab 1000 Fund is considerably more "tax-efficient" than the average U.S.
large-cap fund. In fact, the Schwab 1000 Fund was one of the first, and is
currently the largest, fund designed to be tax-efficient.(1) Since its inception
in 1991, the Fund has not paid a single capital gain distribution. Although
there's no guarantee that the Fund will be able to maintain this record,
especially in a down market, it does illustrate the Fund's tax-efficient
management strategy.
 
Generally, index funds are tax-efficient because they are designed to have less
portfolio turnover and therefore realize capital gains much less frequently than
most actively managed funds; the Fund's tax-efficient strategy has been very
effective in eliminating capital gains distributions. However, it's important to
note that like most mutual funds, the Schwab 1000 Fund is required to distribute
income dividends, which are taxed at standard income-tax rates. The Schwab 1000
Index-Registered Trademark- is rebalanced only once a year, which helps minimize
the portfolio turnover of the Schwab 1000 Fund. Furthermore, when stocks are
traded, the Portfolio Manager attempts to sells shares with the highest tax
basis first and attempts to offset capital gains with capital losses in order to
minimize taxable distributions to shareholders. Unlike many index funds, the
Schwab 1000 Fund occasionally holds stocks that are no longer included in the
index, once again to avoid realizing capital gains.
 
Tax-efficient fund management techniques like those used by the Schwab 1000 Fund
are designed to increase the after-tax returns of investors that hold the fund
in a taxable, or non-retirement, account. So it is fair to ask whether it can
make sense to hold a tax-efficient fund within a retirement account, on which
taxes are deferred. The answer is a resounding yes. Some of these techniques,
such as selling shares with the highest tax basis first, have no impact on
pre-tax returns whatsoever. Others, such as low portfolio turnover and
relatively infrequent index rebalancing, have proven to be effective tactics in
enhancing long-term investment returns regardless of whether the fund is held
inside or outside a retirement account.

TAX-SMART INVESTMENT STRATEGY
 
The Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund seeks to maximize its after-tax performance by
using a strategy that helps reduce capital gains distributions. This strategy is
designed to help investors keep more of what their money earns. The chart below
illustrates the effects of this strategy on the three-year performance of the
Schwab Small-Cap Fund Investor Shares.

(4)Source: Morningstar, Inc. Returns are load-adjusted. The Small-Cap Fund
   category contains 249 funds with three-year track records as of 4/30/98.
   These funds may or may not follow a tax-efficient strategy similar to that
   followed by the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund. Also, although many mutual funds
   have multiple classes of shares, the category average includes only those
   funds that were classified by Morningstar as a distinct portfolio. This
   typically means that a fund's oldest class of shares was used.

(1)The Investment Manager and Schwab waived a portion of their fees during the
   reporting period and have guaranteed through at least 2/29/2000 that total
   operating expenses will not exceed 0.38% for the Select Shares. Without fee
   waivers and guarantees, as of 4/30/98, the six-month and since-inception
   total returns would have been 11.49% and 36.09%, respectively, for the Select
   Shares. As of 3/31/98, the six-month and since-inception total returns would
   have been 6.10% and 35.40%, respectively.
 
This graph compares the growth of a hypothetical $50,000 investment(2) in the
Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund Select Shares, made at its inception, with similar
investments in the Schwab Small-Cap Index and the Russell 2000 Index.
 
Also shown is the difference between the total returns of the Schwab Small-Cap
Index and the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund, often referred to as the "tracking
differential." (See page 9 for a more detailed discussion.)
 
THIS INFORMATION IS HISTORICAL AND DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE RESULTS. TOTAL
RETURNS ASSUME REINVESTMENT OF ALL DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS.
PRINCIPAL VALUE AND INVESTMENT RETURNS WILL FLUCTUATE, SO AN INVESTOR'S SHARES,
WHEN REDEEMED, MAY BE WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN THEIR ORIGINAL COST. Indices are
unmanaged and do not reflect advisory fees and other expenses associated with an
investment in the Fund. Investors cannot invest in an index directly.

SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX FUND:
FUND DISCUSSION
 
QUESTIONS TO THE
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM
 
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE
REPORTING PERIOD?
 
A. The Fund achieved strong total returns for the six-month reporting period:
11.75% and 11.80% for the Investor Shares and Select Shares-TM-, respectively.
Both classes of shares closely tracked the Fund's benchmark, the Schwab
Small-Cap Index-Registered Trademark-. Although the Fund's six-month returns are
impressive in absolute terms, they lagged those of the U.S. large-cap equity
sector. As the table below shows, however, the Fund did manage to outperform the
average U.S. small-cap fund over the six-month AND three-year periods ended
April 30, 1998.(1) The Fund's outperformance was even greater on an after-tax
basis, a direct result of its tax-efficient investment strategy.

Q. HOW DID THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX COMPARE WITH THAT OF
THE RUSSELL 2000-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-INDEX?
 
A. As shown in the performance figures on page 21, the Schwab Small-Cap Index
outperformed the Russell 2000 Index of small-cap stocks by nearly 1.5 percent-
age points for the six-month reporting period as well as on an inception-to-date
basis.
 
Q. WHY CAN INDEX FUNDS BE A SOUND WAY TO IMPLEMENT AN ASSET ALLOCATION PLAN?
 
A. One frequently cited study has shown that the manner in which an investor
allocates his or her portfolio among different asset classes can determine the
vast majority of the variance in the portfolio's returns.(2) Unless investors
build their portfolios with investments that are designed to consistently
deliver the performance of the asset classes they wish to track, their
portfolios may not behave as they expect.
 
Index funds can be an excellent choice to implement an asset allocation plan
because they seek to invest only in the intended asset class and therefore
should, because of their investment objectives, achieve returns that closely
track those of that benchmark asset class. Index funds should not be subject to
the "style drift" that investors may face with many actively managed funds.
Consistent with their mission to track their benchmarks, index funds also
usually maintain minimal cash holdings.
 
In addition to seeking to deliver consistent asset class performance, index
funds are typically efficient from both a cost and a tax standpoint. Most index
funds minimize their trading and operating costs by keeping

   category contains 393 and 249 funds, respectively, with six-month and three-
   year track records as of 4/30/98. These funds may or may not follow a tax-
   efficient strategy similar to that followed by the Schwab Small-Cap Index
   Fund. Also, although many mutual funds have multiple classes of shares, the
   category average includes only those funds that were classified by
   Morningstar as a distinct portfolio. This typically means that a fund's
   oldest class of shares was used.

FUND DISCUSSION (continued)
 
both portfolio turnover and operating expense ratios low. These savings are
passed on to investors in the form of higher returns.
 
Q. DO INDEX FUNDS REDUCE INVESTMENT RISK?
 
A. It depends on the type of risk. Most investment risks can be categorized as
either SYSTEMATIC (non-diversifiable) or NONSYSTEMATIC (diversifiable).
 
Systematic or nondiversifiable risks are those that may affect all stocks or
bonds, such as a bear market caused by adverse economic conditions. Index funds
do not safeguard against this type of risk. Their goal is to consistently track
their benchmark, regardless of how it is performing. They also generally
maintain minimal cash balances, so they do not build up a defensive cash
position in a negative market environment.
 
Nonsystematic risks are those that affect a particular stock or bond, such as a
decline in demand for a company's product or a negative earnings surprise.
Nonsystematic risk is also referred to as "diversifiable risk," because an
investor can reduce it by diversifying his or her portfolio across a
sufficiently large number of companies. Since most broad-based index funds
purchase many--in some cases, hundreds of-- securities, they can be extremely
effective at minimizing nonsystematic or company-specific risk.
 
Q. BECAUSE THE STOCK MARKET HAS REACHED RECORD HIGHS, IS IT TIME TO RETHINK MY
ALLOCATION TO STOCKS?
 
A. Whenever the returns of asset classes have diverged significantly from one
another, it can be prudent to review your portfolio's asset allocation. For
example, U.S. large-cap stocks dramatically outperformed U.S. bonds over the
three-year period ended April 30, 1998. This performance disparity is
illustrated by the average annual returns of the Schwab 1000 Fund and the Schwab
Total Bond Market Index Fund over that period: The Schwab 1000 Fund, which
invests in large-cap domestic equities, gained 30.92%, whereas the Schwab Total
Bond Market Index Fund rose 8.84%.(1)
 
This disparity may have caused an investor's portfolio asset allocation to
shift, as the following example illustrates. Assume that an investor had a
hypothetical asset allocation of 60% stocks and 40% bonds (investing in just
these two Funds) at the beginning of the three-year period, and reinvested all
Fund distributions. By the end of the period, the portfolio's asset allocation
mix would have shifted to 72% stocks and 28% bonds--a significant divergence
from the investor's original strategy (see chart on the following page).
 
We feel that investors should focus on their own risk profiles, time horizons
and income needs to determine the appropriate level of stocks and bonds in their
portfolios. Because bond returns historically have not been well correlated with
stock returns,(2) combining bonds in a portfolio with other asset classes can be
effective in reducing total portfolio volatility.
 
(1)Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains
   distributions, if any. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
   Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, so an investor's
   shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. A
   portion of both Funds' expenses was reduced during the period. Without these
   reductions, the Funds' total returns would have been lower. As of 4/30/98,
   the one-year and average annual five-year total returns for the Total Bond
   Market Index Fund were 11.34% and 7.25%, respectively. As of 3/31/98, the
   one-year, average annual five-year and average annual since-inception
   (3/5/93) total returns for the Total Bond Market Index Fund were 13.05%,
   7.47% and 6.80%, respectively.
 
(2)For the 20-year period ended 12/31/97, the correlation of large-cap stock
   returns and government bond returns has been 0.38. Source: Symphony Asset

Q. GIVEN THE RECENT UNDERPERFORMANCE OF SMALL-CAP STOCKS, IS THERE STILL A
REASON TO INVEST IN THEM?
 
A. If history is any guide, yes. As the first of the graphs at the right
illustrates, the total returns of U.S. large-cap and small-cap stocks have been
fairly comparable over extended periods of time--such as from 1970 to 1997. Over
the past 28 years, small-caps have outperformed large-caps 14 times, over
varying lengths of time, as the second graph illustrates. In the remaining 14
years, large-caps outperformed small-caps. There appears to be little, if any,
predictability to this seesaw effect. That's why it can be wise for an investor
to consider diversifying his or her portfolio by holding both small- and
large-cap stocks. For example, small-cap stocks generally outperformed large-cap
stocks from 1991 to 1993. Large-cap stocks were the winners from 1994 through
1997. Although not readily apparent from viewing these graphs, small-cap stocks
have also exhibited a higher level of volatility over the period shown. In
addition, there is generally less publicly available information on small-cap
stocks.

TAX-SMART INVESTMENT STRATEGY
 
The Schwab International Index Fund seeks to maximize its after-tax performance
by using a strategy that helps reduce capital gains distributions. This strategy
is designed to help investors keep more of what their money earns. The chart
below illustrates the effects of this strategy on the three-year performance of
the Schwab International Index Fund Investor Shares.

(2)After-tax returns assume the maximum federal income tax rate of 39.6% on
   dividends and 28% on capital gains distributions. Tax rates vary and may be
   higher or lower than those shown.
 
(3)The Investment Manager and Schwab waived a portion of their fees during the
   reporting period and have guaranteed through at least 2/29/2000 that total
   operating expenses will not exceed 0.58%. Without fee waivers and guarantees,
   the Investor Shares' returns would have been lower.
 
(4)Source: Morningstar, Inc. Returns are load-adjusted. The Foreign Fund
   category contains 185 funds with three-year track records as of 4/30/98.
   These funds may or may not follow a tax-efficient strategy similar to that
   followed by the Schwab International Index Fund. Also, although many mutual
   funds have multiple classes of shares, the category average includes only
   those funds that were classified by Morningstar as a distinct portfolio. This
   typically means that a fund's oldest class of shares was used.

This graph compares the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the
Schwab International Index Fund Investor Shares, made at its inception, with
similar investments in the Schwab International Index-Registered Trademark- and
the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far
East-Registered Trademark- (MSCI-EAFE) Index.
 
Also shown is the difference between the total returns of the Schwab
International Index and the Schwab International Index Fund, which is often
referred to as the "tracking differential." (See page 9 for a more detailed
discussion.)
 
THIS INFORMATION IS HISTORICAL AND DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE RESULTS. TOTAL
RETURNS ASSUME REINVESTMENT OF ALL DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS.
PRINCIPAL VALUE AND INVESTMENT RETURNS WILL FLUCTUATE, SO AN INVESTOR'S SHARES,
WHEN REDEEMED, MAY BE WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN THEIR ORIGINAL COST. Indices are
unmanaged and do not reflect advisory fees and other expenses associated with an
investment in the Fund. Investors cannot invest in an index directly.

FUND DISCUSSION
 
QUESTIONS TO THE
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM
 
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
 
A. The Fund achieved strong total returns for the six-month reporting period:
14.55% and 14.62% for the Investor Shares and Select Shares-TM-, respectively.
Both classes of shares closely tracked the Fund's benchmark, the Schwab
International Index-Registered Trademark-. Although the Fund's six-month returns
are impressive in absolute terms, they lagged those of the domestic large-cap
equity sector. The Fund outperformed the average foreign fund for the six-month
period but underperformed for the three-year period ended April 30, 1998, both
by relatively small amounts. Because of the Fund's tax-efficient investment
strategy, however, its three-year after-tax performance exceeded the average
foreign fund by approximately 0.5% annually.(1)

Q. HOW DID THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SCHWAB INTERNATIONAL INDEX COMPARE WITH THAT
OF THE MSCI-EAFE-REGISTERED TRADEMARK- INDEX?
 
A. As indicated in the performance figures on page 28,
the Schwab International Index lagged the MSCI-EAFE
Index by approximately 0.29 percentage point over the
six-month reporting period. On an inception-to-datebasis, however, the Schwab
International Index has outperformed the MSCI-EAFE Index by approxi-
mately two percentage points annually. As we have discussed in previous reports,
these two indices are constructed differently, particularly in that they have
somewhat different country weightings, so we anticipate that their performances
will occasionally diverge in the future.
 
Q. WHY CAN INDEX FUNDS BE A SOUND WAY TO IMPLEMENT AN ASSET ALLOCATION PLAN?
 
A. One frequently cited study has shown that the manner in which an investor
allocates his or her portfolio among different asset classes can determine the
vast majority of the variance in the portfolio's returns.(2) Unless investors
build their portfolios with investments that are designed to consistently
deliver the performance of the asset classes they wish to track, their
portfolios may not behave as they expect.
 
Index funds can be an excellent choice to implement an asset allocation plan
because they seek to invest only in the intended asset class and therefore
should, because of their investment objectives, achieve returns that closely
track those of that benchmark asset class. Index funds should not be subject to
the "style drift" that investors may face with many actively managed funds.
Consistent with their mission to track their benchmarks, index funds also
usually maintain minimal cash holdings.
 
(1)Source: Morningstar, Inc. Returns are load-adjusted. The Foreign Fund
   category contains 271 and 185 funds, respectively, with six-month and
   three-year track records as of 4/30/98. These funds may or may not follow a
   tax-efficient strategy similar to that followed by the Schwab International
   Index Fund. Also, although many mutual funds have multiple classes of shares,
   the category average includes only those funds that were classified by
   Morningstar as a distinct portfolio. This typically means that a fund's
   oldest class of shares was used.

In addition to seeking to deliver consistent asset class performance, index
funds are typically efficient from both a cost and a tax standpoint. Most index
funds minimize their trading and operating costs by keeping both portfolio
turnover and operating expense ratios low. These savings are passed on to
investors in the form of higher returns.
 
Q. DO INDEX FUNDS REDUCE INVESTMENT RISK?
 
A. It depends on the type of risk. Most investment risks can be categorized as
either SYSTEMATIC (non-diversifiable) or NONSYSTEMATIC (diversifiable).
 
Systematic or nondiversifiable risks are those that may affect all stocks or
bonds, such as a bear market caused by adverse economic conditions. Index funds
do not safeguard against this type of risk. Their goal is to consistently track
their benchmark, regardless of how it is performing. They also generally
maintain minimal cash balances, so they do not build up a defensive cash
position in a negative market environment.
 
Nonsystematic risks are those that affect a particular stock or bond, such as a
decline in demand for a company's product or a negative earnings surprise.
Nonsystematic risk is also referred to as "diversifiable risk," because an
investor can reduce it by diversifying his or her portfolio across a
sufficiently large number of companies. Since most broad-based index funds
purchase many--in some cases, hundreds of--securities, they can be extremely
effective at minimizing nonsystematic or company-specific risk.
 
Q. BECAUSE THE STOCK MARKET HAS REACHED RECORD HIGHS, IS IT TIME TO RETHINK MY
ALLOCATION TO STOCKS?
 
A. Whenever the returns of asset classes have diverged significantly from one
another, it can be prudent to review your portfolio's asset allocation. For
example, U.S. large-cap stocks dramatically outperformed U.S. bonds over the
three-year period ended April 30, 1998. This performance disparity is
illustrated by the average annual returns of the Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered
Trademark- and the Schwab Total Bond Market Index Fund over that period: The
Schwab 1000 Fund, which invests in large-cap domestic equities, gained 30.92%,
whereas the Schwab Total Bond Market Index Fund rose 8.84%.(1)
 
This disparity may have caused an investor's portfolio asset allocation to
shift, as the following example illustrates. Assume that an investor had a
hypothetical asset allocation of 60% stocks and 40% bonds (investing in just
these two Funds) at the beginning of the three-year period, and reinvested all
Fund distributions. By the end of the period, the portfolio's asset allocation
mix would have shifted to 72% stocks and 28% bonds--a significant divergence
from the investor's original strategy (see chart on the following page).
 
We feel that investors should focus on their own risk profiles, time horizons
and income needs to determine the appropriate level of stocks and bonds in their
portfolios. Because bond returns historically have not been well correlated with
stock returns,(2) combining bonds in a portfolio with other asset classes can be
effective in reducing total portfolio volatility.
 
(1)Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains
   distributions, if any. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
   Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, so an investor's
   shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. A
   portion of both Funds' expenses was reduced during the period. Without these
   reductions, the Funds' total returns would have been lower. As of 4/30/98,
   the one-year and average annual five-year total returns for the Total Bond
   Market Index Fund were 11.34% and 7.25%, respectively. As of 3/31/98, the
   one-year, average annual five-year and average annual since-inception
   (3/5/93) total returns for the Total Bond Market Index Fund were 13.05%,
   7.47% and 6.80%, respectively.

   returns and government bond returns has been 0.38. Source: Symphony Asset

Q. WHAT IMPACT HAS THE FINANCIAL TURMOIL IN MANY ASIAN COUNTRIES HAD ON THE
FUND?
 
A. As discussed in the MARKET OVERVIEW section, most Asian markets suffered
large losses during the reporting period. Although well-diversified across many
developed securities markets, the Schwab International Index-Registered
Trademark- does have exposure to several Asian countries, and that had a
negative impact on the Fund's returns for the period. The table at the right
shows the Fund's weightings in various Asian markets as of April 30, 1998, as
well as each market's return during the reporting period (according to MSCI).
The strong returns of several European countries, however, helped offset the
negative returns of the Asian markets represented in the Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNDS
 
The Schwab S&P 500 Fund, Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund-Registered Trademark- and
Schwab International Index Fund-Registered Trademark- are series of Schwab
Capital Trust (the "Capital Trust") and the Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered
Trademark- is a series of the Schwab Investments (the "Investment Trust"), each
a no-load, open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust on May 7, 1993 and October 26, 1990, respectively, and registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Each of the funds in this
report are herein referred to as a "Fund".
 
The Schwab S&P 500 Fund, Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered Trademark-, Schwab
Small-Cap Index Fund-Registered Trademark- and Schwab International Index
Fund-Registered Trademark- offer two classes of shares--Investor Shares and
Select Shares. Both classes represent interests in the same portfolio of
investments of each Fund and are substantially the same in all respects except
that the classes are subject to different transfer agency and shareholder
service fees (see Note 3), investment minimums and certain other expenses.
However, the Schwab S&P 500 Fund offers a third class of shares--the
e.Shares-TM-. This class offers the same concept as the Investor Shares and the
Select Shares, but the e. Shares are available only to clients of Schwab
Institutional and The Charles Schwab Trust Company and to certain tax-advantaged
retirement plans that can execute their trading and information requests through
SchwabLink-TM-.
 
In addition to the Schwab S&P 500 Fund, Small-Cap Index Fund-Registered
Trademark- and International Index Fund-Registered Trademark-, the Capital Trust
also offers the Schwab MarketTrack All Equity Portfolio-TM- (effective on April
16, 1998, and commenced operations on May 19, 1998), Schwab MarketTrack Growth
Portfolio-TM- (formerly Schwab Asset Director-Registered Trademark---High Growth
Fund), Schwab MarketTrack Balanced Portfolio-TM- (formerly Schwab Asset
Director-Registered Trademark---Balanced Growth Fund), Schwab MarketTrack
Conservative Portfolio-TM- (formerly Schwab Asset Director-Registered
Trademark---Conservative Growth Fund), Schwab Analytics Fund-Registered
Trademark-, Schwab MarketManager International Portfolio-TM- (formerly Schwab
OneSource Portfolios--International), Schwab MarketManager Growth Portfolio-TM-
(formerly Schwab OneSource Portfolios--Growth Allocation), Schwab MarketManager
Balanced Portfolio-TM- (formerly Schwab OneSource Portfolios--Balanced
Allocation), and Schwab MarketManager Small Cap Portfolio-TM- (formerly Schwab
OneSource Portfolios--Small Company). The assets of each series are segregated
and accounted for separately.
 
In addition to the Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered Trademark-, the Investment Trust
also offers the Schwab Short-Term Bond Market Index Fund, Schwab Total Bond
Market Index Fund, Schwab California Short/Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund,
Schwab California Long-Term Tax-Free Bond Fund, Schwab Short/Intermediate
Tax-Free Bond Fund and Schwab Long-Term Tax-Free Bond Fund. The assets of each
series are segregated and accounted for separately.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
 
86
<PAGE>
 
SECURITY VALUATION--Investments in securities traded on an exchange are valued
at the last quoted sale price for a given day, or if a sale is not reported for
that day, at the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices.
Securities for which no market quotations are readily available are valued at
the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices. Securities for which no
quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the
Fund's investment manager pursuant to guidelines adopted in good faith by the
Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with 60 days or less to maturity are
stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Security transactions are accounted
for on a trade date basis (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized
gains and losses from security transactions are determined on an identified cost
basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date; interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
FUTURES CONTRACTS--The Schwab S&P 500 Fund and the Schwab 1000 Fund-Registered
Trademark- may invest in financial futures contracts. The Fund is required to
deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain
percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the "initial margin."
Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by the Fund each
day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract.
 
The Funds will invest in these instruments to hedge against the effects of
changes in value of portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in interest
rates and/or market conditions, for duration management, or risk inherent in the
management of the Funds and not for trading purposes. The use of futures
contracts involves certain risks, which include (1) imperfect correlation
between the price movement of the contracts and the underlying securities, (2)
inability to close out positions due to different trading hours, or the
temporary absence of a liquid market, for either the contract or underlying
securities, or (3) an inaccurate prediction by the Adviser of the future
direction of interest rates. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding
the amount recognized in the Fund's Statement of Operations at any given time.
 
As of April 30, 1998, the Schwab S&P 500 Fund and the Schwab 1000
Fund-Registered Trademark- had the following open futures contracts:

</TABLE>
 
The aggregate value of cash or eligible securities pledged to cover margin
requirements for open futures positions at April 30, 1998 was $2,584,000 and
$1,033,000, respectively.
 
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or government agency securities. All collateral is held by the Funds
custodian and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value at least equals
the repurchase price under the agreement.
 
                                                                              87
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
 
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION--The accounting records of the Schwab International
Index Fund-Registered Trademark- are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment
securities and all other asset and liabilities of the Fund denominated in a
foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on April
30, 1998. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense
payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the
dates of the respective transactions.
 
The Schwab International Index Fund-Registered Trademark- separates within its
statement of operations the portion of realized and unrealized gains and losses
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that arising from changes
in securities' market values.
 
FOWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS--A forward currency contract ("Forward") is an
agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a
future date. The value of the Forward fluctuates with changes in currency
exchange rates. The Forward is marked-to market daily and the change in value is
recorded by the Schwab International Index Fund-Registered Trademark- as an
unrealized gain or loss. When the Forward is closed, the Schwab International
Index Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time the contract
was closed. The Schwab International Index Fund engages in Forwards in
connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities to minimize the
uncertainty of changes in future exchange rates. The Schwab International Index
Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to
meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes
unfavorably.
 
DEFERRED ORGANIZATION COSTS--Costs incurred in connection with the organization
of the Funds are amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period from
the Funds commencement of operations.
 
EXPENSES--Expenses arising in connection with the Funds are charged directly to
the Funds. Expenses common to all series of the Trusts are generally allocated
to each series in proportion to their relative net assets.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--It is each Fund's policy to meet the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to
shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Funds
are considered a separate entity for tax purposes.
