THE SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR - HIGH GROWTH FUND, THE SCHWAB ASSET
DIRECTOR - BALANCED GROWTH FUND, AND THE SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR - CONSERVATIVE
GROWTH FUND (THE "FUNDS") are a family of three asset allocation funds which

meet its investment objective by investing in a different mix of stocks, bonds,
and cash-equivalents. All three Funds are designed to provide varying degrees of
exposure to the growth potential of the stock market. Each Fund is a diversified
investment portfolio of Schwab Capital Trust (the "Trust"), a no-load, open-end
management investment company.

EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are the fees and charges you pay for buying or
selling shares of a fund. You pay no sales fees or charges when you buy or sell
shares of our Funds.
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES include management fees paid to the Investment
Manager, transfer agency fees, and other expenses. These expenses cover services
such as investment research and management of the Funds, maintaining shareholder
records, and issuing shareholder statements. Each Fund pays its own annual
operating expenses from its income, which is factored into the dividends paid to
shareholders and into the Fund's share price. As a shareholder, you are not
charged any of these fees directly.

1 This amount reflects a reduction by the Investment Manager, which is
guaranteed through at least December 31, 1996. If there were no such
reduction, the maximum management fee would be 0.74% of the average daily net
assets of each Fund. (See "Organization and Management of Our
Funds - Operating Fees and Expenses.")
2 "Other Expenses" are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year
for each Fund.
3 Schwab currently imposes no fees for opening and maintaining a Schwab
brokerage account. Effective October 1, 1995, Schwab will institute a $1,000
minimum equity requirement for brokerage accounts ($500 for custodial
accounts). A quarterly fee of $7.50 will be charged on accounts that fall
below the minimum. This fee, if applicable, will be charged at the end of
each quarter and will be waived if there has been one commissionable trade
within the last six months, or if the shareholder's combined account balances
at Schwab total $10,000 or more. Schwab imposes no fees for opening and
maintaining a Schwab One(R) account with a minimum balance of $5,000. Schwab
One accounts with balances below $5,000 are subject to a monthly fee of $5 if
there have been fewer than two commissionable trades within the last 12
months. Schwab Individual Retirement Accounts with balances of $10,000 or
more by September 15, 1996, are not charged Schwab's $29 annual IRA account
fee for the life of the account. Schwab Keogh plans are currently charged an
annual fee of $45.
4 This amount reflects the guarantee by Schwab and the Investment Manager that,
through at least December 31, 1996, total fund operating expenses will not
exceed 0.89% of each Fund's average daily net assets. Without this guarantee,
estimated maximum total fund operating expenses would be 1.14% of each Fund's
average daily net assets.

Funds, assuming (1) 5% annual return and (2) redemption at the end of each
period.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE ONLY AND DOES NOT REPRESENT PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES. ACTUAL
EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THE EXPENSES SHOWN IN THE EXAMPLE. This
example reflects the guarantee by Schwab and the Investment Manager that,
through at least December 31, 1996, total fund operating expenses will not
exceed 0.89% of each Fund's average daily net assets. Please remember that,
while this example assumes a 5% annual return on investment, each Fund's actual
returns may be more or less than the 5% used in this example.
The purpose of the table above is to help you understand the various costs and
expenses you will bear directly or indirectly when you invest in the Funds. (See
"Organization and Management of Our Funds - Operating Fees and Expenses.")
KEY FEATURES OF THE FUNDS
STRATEGY: Each Fund invests in a diversified mix of stocks, bonds, and
cash-equivalents. Research shows that the greatest impact on investment returns
is due to the asset allocation decision (the mix of stocks, bonds, and
cash-equivalents) rather than market timing or individual stock and bond
selections. A study of the performance of pension funds indicated that over 90%
of the performance was determined by asset mix.*
The primary difference between the Funds is the proportion invested in stocks.
Each Fund targets a different mix of investments as described below and on the
following page. This mix among major asset classes will vary within defined
ranges based on the Investment Manager's and the Sub-Adviser's determination of
relative attractiveness of securities in the financial markets. For more
detailed information, see "Investment Objectives and Policies."
SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R) -
HIGH GROWTH FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: to provide you with high capital growth with less
volatility than an all-stock portfolio. This Fund provides the greatest exposure
to various stock categories, including domestic large and small company stocks
and international stocks.

performance of indices does not necessarily reflect future performance results
of the Funds.
LOW COST INVESTING. You pay no sales fees or charges when you buy or sell shares
of the Funds. Additionally, the Funds were designed with operating expenses
below the industry average, which helps provide more competitive returns.
The Investment Manager and Schwab guarantee that each Fund's total fund
operating expenses will not exceed 0.89% through
4

December 31, 1996. After this date, the guarantee may be terminated, modified,
or continued. The industry average for total operating expenses of asset
allocation funds is 1.43%.*

MATCHING THE FUNDS TO YOUR
INVESTMENT NEEDS
This family of three asset allocation funds provides diversification among major
investment categories. Each Fund seeks to meet its investment objective by
investing in a different mix of stocks, bonds, and cash-equivalents. All three
Funds are designed to provide exposure to the growth potential of the stock
market with varying degrees of volatility due to the different asset
allocations. For more detailed information, see "Investment Objectives and
Policies."
An investor's strategy might include investing in one or a combination of these
Funds to match their investment time horizon and risk tolerance.
THE SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R) - HIGH GROWTH FUND may be appropriate for you if
you have a long-term investment horizon and want the growth potential from stock
investments. You should be comfortable with the risks of the stock market but do
not want the volatility of an all-stock investment.
THE SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R) - BALANCED GROWTH FUND may be appropriate for you
if you have an intermediate-term investment horizon and want a more balanced
approach to your investment. You should want the growth potential from stock
investments but are willing to achieve it more slowly and with
5
<PAGE> 6
less volatility than that provided by the Schwab Asset Director - High Growth
Fund.
THE SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R) - CONSERVATIVE GROWTH FUND may be appropriate for
you if you have a short-term investment horizon but still want some exposure to
the stock market. You should want returns that keep pace with inflation but want
to limit volatility to the extent possible.
RISKS CONSIDERATIONS: The Funds seek to reduce overall risk by diversifying
investments among major asset categories and sub-categories. However, depending
on the Investment Manager's asset allocation decisions with regard to the mix of
stocks, bonds, and cash-equivalents, shareholders in the Funds may be exposed to
the risks associated with each particular asset type. Stock risk is the
possibility that stock prices will decline over short or even extended periods.
Small-company and international stocks will typically be included in the mix and
pose special risks. Bond risk is the potential for decline in the market value
of bonds due to interest rate changes or the ability of an issuer to meet its
obligations. Diversification among asset categories will not necessarily protect
the Funds from loss.
You should pay special attention to the description of derivatives and foreign
securities on pages 11 through 14, for these investments carry more risk
potential than the Funds' other investments. The Funds may engage in futures
contracts, options, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, forward foreign
currency exchange contracts, and swap agreements. Foreign securities may present
unique investment opportunities; however, international investing involves risks
not associated with domestic investing. Foreign securities markets are not
always as efficient as those in the U.S. and are often less liquid and more
volatile.
Please refer to the "Investment Techniques Used by Our Funds" section in this
Prospectus and "Investment Securities" in the Statement of Additional
Information for a more detailed discussion of the risks associated with
particular types of investments.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
THE SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R) FUNDS are a family of three asset allocation funds
which provide diversification among major investment categories. Each seeks to
meet its investment objective by investing in a different mix of stocks, bonds,
and cash-equivalents. Subject to regulatory approval, each Fund may also utilize
investments in affiliated investment companies to meet its investment objective.
All three Funds are designed to provide exposure to the growth potential of the
stock market in varying degrees.
A target mix and a defined range have been established for each asset category
in each of the Funds. Although there is a target mix for each of the stock
sub-categories, there are no defined ranges. The amount invested in each Fund's
stock sub-categories could vary widely from their targets, but not beyond the
defined range of the stock category as a whole. The Investment Manager will
allocate assets among stocks, bonds, and cash-equivalents, emphasizing
investment in the most attractive asset category. The Sub-Adviser uses a
Tactical Asset Allocation model to measure the relative value of each asset
category and make recommendations for allocations within the defined ranges. The
Funds may also make other investments that do not fall within the asset
categories. The investment objectives stated below are fundamental to each Fund
and may be changed only with shareholder approval. Because any investment
involves risk, we cannot guarantee achieving these objectives.
SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R) - HIGH GROWTH FUND
The investment objective of the Schwab Asset Director - High Growth Fund is to
provide you with high capital growth with less volatility than an all stock
portfolio. This Fund provides the greatest exposure to various stock categories,
including domestic large and small company stocks and international stocks.
The Schwab Asset Director - High Growth Fund's target mix as well as the defined
ranges for the different asset categories are as follows:

income. This Fund represents a more balanced approach to stocks and bonds.

INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES USED
BY OUR FUNDS
STOCKS, BONDS, AND CASH-EQUIVALENTS
Our Funds will invest in stocks, bonds, and cash-equivalents in varying
proportions, according to the Funds' target mixes and defined ranges.
STOCK ALLOCATION: The common stocks the Funds invest in will be a diversified
portfolio within each stock sub-category (large company, small company, and
international stocks). Common stocks represent an ownership, or equity interest,
in a company. Although common stocks have a history of long-term growth in
value, their prices tend to fluctuate in the short-term.
LARGE COMPANY STOCKS: The Funds' large company stock allocation will be invested
in all or a representative sample of the stocks which comprise the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index(R).
SMALL COMPANY STOCKS: The Funds' small company stock allocation will be invested
in all or a representative sample of stocks selected from a universe consisting
of the second 1,000 largest U.S. operating corporations, as measured by market
capitalization. Small company stocks have historically been characterized by
greater total returns, greater volatility of returns, and lower dividend yields
than large company stocks. As of August 31, 1995, the market capitalizations of
the corporations included in this universe ranged from $150 million to $750
million. This market capitalization range may fluctuate in the future.
INTERNATIONAL STOCKS: The Funds' international stock allocation will be invested
in all or a representative sample of stocks selected from a universe consisting
of 350 of the largest non-U.S. operating corporations, as measured by market
capitalization. These international stocks are issued by large, publicly traded
companies from countries around the world with major developed securities
markets, excluding the United States. Each Fund may also invest up to 5% of its
net assets in the stocks
11
<PAGE> 12
and bonds of issuers in developing countries; see "Other Assets" for details.
These investments will be denominated in a foreign currency, and the value of
the Funds' investments will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates
versus the U.S. dollar in addition to normal market fluctuations. The rate of
exchange between the U.S. dollar and other currencies is determined by the
forces of supply and demand in the foreign exchange market, by changes in
interest rates, as well as by political and economic factors. Other risks and
considerations of international investing include: differences in accounting,
auditing and financial reporting standards; generally higher transaction costs
on foreign portfolio transactions; small trading volumes and generally lower
liquidity of foreign stock markets, which may result in greater price
volatility; foreign withholding taxes payable on the Funds' security holdings,
which may reduce dividend income payable to shareholders; the possibility of
expropriation, nationalization, or confiscatory taxation; adverse changes in
investment or exchange control regulations; political instability which could
affect U.S. investment in foreign countries; and potential restrictions on the
flow of international capital.
BOND ALLOCATION: Bond investments for the Funds will consist primarily of U.S.
Government obligations, highly rated corporate debt obligations, and highly
rated asset-backed securities. The debt securities in which the Funds invest are
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its agencies and
instrumentalities, including bills, notes, bonds, discount notes, stripped
government securities, and other debt securities. Not all obligations issued or
guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies are backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States. The Funds may also buy domestic and foreign issues of
corporate debt obligations having floating or fixed rates of interest.
Asset-backed securities, including mortgage-related securities, may also be
included in the Funds' portfolios. Asset-backed securities are secured by
company receivables, home equity loans, truck and auto loans, leases, and credit
card receivables. The collateral backing asset-backed securities cannot be
foreclosed upon. Mortgage-backed securities are securities collateralized by
pools of mortgage loans and are assembled by various governmental agencies and
organizations, such as GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC. When interest rates decline, there
is increased likelihood that the mortgages underlying a mortgage-backed security
will be pre-paid, resulting in the loss of any unamortized premium paid for the
securities and the probability of having to reinvest the proceeds at lower
rates. The bond category also includes repurchase agreements collateralized by
eligible investments.
The corporate debt obligations or the asset-backed obligations the Funds invest
in will be rated in one of the three highest categories ("A" or better) by a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO").
The market value of the Funds' debt investments will change in response to
interest rate fluctuations and other factors. During periods of falling interest
rates, the values of outstanding debt securities generally rise; conversely,
during periods of rising interest rates, the values of such securities generally
decline. While securities with longer maturities tend to produce higher yields,
the prices of longer maturity securities are also subject to greater market
fluctuations as a result of changes in interest rates. Changes by NRSROs in the
rating of any debt security and in the ability of an issuer to make payments of
interest and
12
<PAGE> 13
principal also affect the value of these investments. Except under condition of
default, changes in the value of portfolio securities will not affect cash
income derived from these securities but will affect the Funds' net asset
values.
CASH ALLOCATION: The Funds may invest in the following types of U.S. dollar
denominated short-term money market instruments that the Investment Manager has
determined to present moderate credit risk:
1. Bank certificates of deposit, time deposits, or bankers' acceptances of
domestic banks (including their foreign branches), U.S. branches of foreign
banks, and foreign branches of foreign banks, having capital, surplus, and
undivided profits in excess of $100 million.
2. Commercial paper rated in one of the two highest rating categories by an
NRSRO, or commercial paper or notes of issuers with an unsecured debt issue
outstanding currently rated in one of the two highest rating categories by any
NRSRO where the obligation is on the same or a higher level of priority and
collateralized to the same extent as the rated issue.
3. Obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or
instrumentalities.
4. Repurchase agreements involving obligations that are suitable for investment
under the categories set forth above.
OTHER ASSETS
The Funds may also make other investments that do not fall within the asset
classes described above. These may include warrants, convertible securities,
preferred stocks, real-estate related investments, precious metal related
investments, American and European Depository Receipts, and stocks and bonds of
issuers in developing countries. Each of these investments is limited to 5% of
each Fund's net assets. In addition, the Funds may invest in other securities,
in the future, not presently contemplated or which are not currently available.
These additional investments must be consistent with the Funds' investment
objective and must be legally permissible investments for the Funds.
THE FUNDS MAY USE FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS in order to remain effectively
fully invested in proportions consistent with the Investment Manager's current
asset allocation strategy in an efficient and cost effective manner.
Specifically, each Fund may enter into futures contracts and options thereon
provided that the aggregate deposits required on these contracts do not exceed
5% of the Fund's total assets.
Futures contracts and options may be used for several reasons: to reallocate the
Funds' assets among stocks, bonds and money market instruments while minimizing
transaction costs; to maintain cash reserves while simulating full investment;
to facilitate trading; or to seek higher investment returns or simulate full
investment when a futures contract is priced more attractively or is otherwise
considered more advantageous than the underlying security or index.
Because the transaction costs of futures contracts and options may be lower than
the costs of investing in stocks or bonds directly, it is expected that the use
of futures contracts may reduce the Funds' total transaction costs. Also,
because futures contracts require only a small initial margin deposit, the Funds
would then be able to simultaneously maintain a cash reserve for potential
redemptions and simulate full investment. In the event of net redemp-
13
<PAGE> 14
tions from the Funds, sufficient futures contracts would be sold to avoid any
leveraging of the Funds' assets.
Futures contracts and options pose certain risks. The primary risks associated
with the use of futures contracts and options include: imperfect correlation
between the change in market value of the securities held by the Funds and the
prices of futures contracts and options, and possible lack of a liquid secondary
market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a futures
position prior to its maturity date. The risk of imperfect correlation will be
minimized by investing only in those contracts whose behavior is expected to
resemble that of the Funds' underlying securities. The risk that the Funds will
be unable to close out a futures position will be minimized by entering into
such transactions on a national exchange with an active and liquid secondary
market. While futures contracts and options can be used as leveraged
instruments, the Funds may not use futures contracts or options to leverage
their portfolios.
The risk of loss in trading futures contracts in some strategies can be
substantial, due both to the low margin deposits required and the extremely high
degree of leverage involved in futures pricing. As a result, a relatively small
price movement in a futures contract may result in immediate and substantial
loss (or gain) to the investor. When investing in futures contracts, the Funds
will segregate cash or cash-equivalents in the amount of the
underlying obligation.
ADJUSTING INVESTMENT EXPOSURE. In addition to futures and options, each Fund may
use a variety of techniques to increase or decrease its exposure to changing
security prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or
other factors that affect security values. These techniques may involve entering
into spot foreign currency exchange contracts, forward foreign currency exchange
contracts, and swap agreements. These techniques may be referred to as
derivative transactions. The Funds may also sell securities short if at the time
of the short sale the Fund owns or has the right to own securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold short at no additional cost. The
Investment Manager can use these practices to adjust the risk and return
characteristics of a Fund's portfolio. If the Investment Manager judges market
conditions incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not correlate well with
the Funds' investments, these techniques could result in a loss, regardless of
whether the intent was to reduce risk or increase return. These techniques may
increase the volatility of the Funds and may involve a small investment of cash
relative to the magnitude of the risk assumed. In addition, these techniques
could result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction does not perform
as agreed. Each of these techniques will be limited to 5% of each Fund's net
assets. Please refer to the sections in the Statement of Additional Information
entitled "Investment Securities" and "Investment Restrictions" for a more
detailed discussion of these techniques and the risks associated with them.
ILLIQUID SECURITIES. Each Fund may purchase illiquid securities, provided that
no more than 10% of a Fund's net assets valued at the time of the transaction
are invested in such securities.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. Each Fund may purchase securities
on a "when-issued" or "delayed delivery" basis. When-issued or delayed delivery
securities are
14
<PAGE> 15
securities purchased for future delivery at a stated price and yield. Generally,
a Fund will not pay for such securities or start earning interest on them until
the Fund receives them. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis are recorded as assets. During the period between the agreement
date and the settlement date, the value of such securities may change as the
prices of securities in the stock market increase or decrease, or as interest
rates change. Default by the other party to the agreement may result in a loss
to a Fund.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Each of our Funds may engage in repurchase agreements. By
entering into a repurchase agreement, a Fund acquires ownership of a security
from a broker-dealer or bank that agrees to repurchase the security at a
mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price is higher than the
purchase price, thereby determining the yield during the Fund's holding period.
In the event of a bankruptcy or other default of a repurchase agreement
counterparty, a Fund might have expenses in enforcing its rights, and could
experience losses, including a decline in the value of the underlying securities
and loss of income.
BORROWING POLICY. The Funds may not borrow money except for temporary purposes
to meet redemption requests that could not otherwise be met without immediately
selling portfolio securities. A Fund may borrow an amount up to one-third of the
value of a Fund's total assets and may pledge up to 10% of the Fund's net assets
to secure such borrowings. No Fund may borrow for leverage purposes. This
borrowing policy is fundamental to each Fund.
SECURITIES LENDING: Each Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of its portfolio securities
to broker-dealers as a means of increasing income. These loans must be fully
collateralized at all times. As with any collateralized loan, there are risks of
delay in recovery or even losses of rights in the assets loaned should the
borrower fail financially.
INVESTMENT COMPANIES. Our Funds may also purchase shares of other no-load
investment companies, including those managed by the Investment Manager. These
purchases will be subject to the limitations imposed by the 1940 Act, and we
will only make these purchases after obtaining any required regulatory
approvals. Investment in other investment companies may cause you to bear
duplicative fees for certain services.
TURNOVER. The Investment Manager anticipates that each Fund's annual turnover
rates for the stock and bond categories of their portfolios will not exceed
100%.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR INVESTMENT
DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you first buy shares in our Funds, you may choose one of the three
following distribution options:
1. AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT: We will reinvest all distributions in additional
shares of the Fund. This option will be selected automatically unless you
specify another option.
2. CASH DIVIDENDS/REINVESTED CAPITAL GAINS: Income dividends will be paid in
cash, and capital gains will be reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.
3. ALL CASH: Income dividends and any capital gains distributions will both be
paid in cash.
15
<PAGE> 16
Distributions will be reinvested at the net asset value next determined after
their record date. Cash distributions will be credited to your Schwab account on
the date distributions are payable and will be held in your Schwab account or
mailed to you, depending on the standing instructions applicable to your
account.
To change the distribution option you have selected, call your local Schwab
office or 800-2 NO-LOAD.
The Funds intend to distribute substantially all of their net investment income
each year, as determined by the Board of Trustees. Dividends from net investment
income will be paid as follows: the Schwab Asset Director(R) - High Growth Fund
and the Schwab Asset Director - Balanced Growth Fund, annually in December; the
Schwab Asset Director - Conservative Growth Fund, quarterly in March, June,
September, and December. You should be aware that your per share equity in
undistributed net investment income may be diluted by the continuing purchases
and redemptions of each Fund's shares.
Net capital gains, if any, will be distributed annually in December by all three
Funds. All distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares
of the Funds unless you elect otherwise.
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following is only a very brief summary of some of the federal income tax
consequences that affect the Funds and their shareholders. Therefore, it is
important that you consult with a tax adviser about your own tax situation.
Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Code.
In order to qualify, we will distribute to our shareholders on a current basis
substantially all of our investment company taxable income and our capital gain
net income (if any), and we will meet certain other requirements. As a regulated
investment company, we will pay no federal income taxes to the extent that we
distribute our earnings to our shareholders. Income received by the Funds from
sources within certain foreign countries, however, may be subject to foreign
income taxes withheld at the source.
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and distributions from
the Funds' net short-term capital gains in excess of any net long-term capital
losses, whether received in cash or reinvested, generally will be taxable to
shareholders as ordinary income. Distributions received from the Funds
designated as long-term capital gains (net of capital losses), whether received
in cash or reinvested, will generally be taxable as long-term capital gains
without regard to the length of time a shareholder owned shares in the Funds.
We will provide you with a record of all dividends, distributions, purchases,
and sales on your regular Schwab brokerage account statement. At least once a
year we will notify you of the federal income tax consequences of all
distributions made that year to your account.
HOW WE DETERMINE THE PRICE OF YOUR SHARES
The price of a share of each Fund is its net asset value, which we determine
each Business Day at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange,
generally at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. We determine the price of a share by
adding the total assets of each Fund, subtracting any liabilities attributable
to that Fund,
16
<PAGE> 17
and then dividing the resulting number by the number of shares outstanding.
Purchase or redemption orders and exchange requests will be executed at the net
asset value next determined after receipt by Schwab's Mutual Fund Transfer
Agency Department.
The Funds value their portfolio securities based on their market value, where
quotations are readily available. The value of other assets for which no
quotations are readily available (including any restricted securities) are
valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Investment Manager
pursuant to Board of Trustees guidelines. Securities may be valued on the basis
of prices provided by pricing services when such prices are believed to reflect
fair market value.
HOW THE FUNDS REPORT PERFORMANCE
From time to time the Funds may advertise their total return or yield.
Performance figures are based upon historical results and are not intended to
indicate future performance. The Funds may also compare their historical
performance figures to the performance of indices similar to their asset
categories and sub-categories, such as those indices named in the chart under
"Market Performance" on page 4.
A Fund's total return measures its overall change in value over a period,
including share price movements, and assumes all dividends and capital gains
have been reinvested. Average annual total return reflects the hypothetical
annually compounded return calculated as mandated by the SEC. Other reported
total return figures may differ in that they may report non-standard periods or
represent aggregate or cumulative return over a stated length of time.
A Fund's yield refers to the income generated by an investment in the Fund over
a given period of time, expressed as an annualized percentage rate. Yields are
calculated according to a standard that is required for all stock and bond
funds. Because this differs from other accounting methods, the quoted yield may
not equal the income actually paid to shareholders.
ANNUAL REPORT AND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT MAILINGS. Twice a year, each Fund will
provide a report to all shareholders describing the performance of the Funds and
outlining the investments. In order to reduce mailing costs, we consolidate
these shareholder mailings by household. If a household has multiple accounts
and the same address of record for all the accounts, we will send mailings for
all accounts at that address in a single package. If you do not want this
consolidation of mailings to apply to your account, please write to
SchwabFunds(R) at the address on the front of this prospectus. To request a free
copy of a Fund's Annual Report (or Semi-Annual Report), call your local Schwab
office or call 800-2 NO-LOAD.

ORGANIZATION AND
MANAGEMENT OF OUR FUNDS
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
GENERAL OVERSIGHT OF OUR FUNDS. The Board of Trustees and officers meet
regularly to review the Funds' investments, performance, expenses, and other
business affairs.
THE INVESTMENT MANAGER. The Investment Manager, Charles Schwab Investment
Management, Inc., is responsible for the overall management of the Funds'
business affairs, subject to the authority of the Trustees and officers of the
Trust. The Investment Manager makes all portfolio selection decisions, places
all orders for the Funds' securities transactions, and has primary
responsibility for the management of the Funds' investment portfolios. The
Investment Manager, founded in 1989, is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles
Schwab Corporation and is the investment adviser and administrator of the
SchwabFunds(R) mutual funds. As of August 31, 1995, the SchwabFunds(R) had
aggregate net assets in excess of $29 billion.
Geri Hom is the portfolio manager for the equity portions of the Asset
Director(R) Funds. She joined Schwab in March 1995 as Portfolio
Manager - Equities and currently manages the three Schwab index funds with
approximately $1 billion in assets. For four years prior to joining Schwab, she
was a Principal for Wells Fargo Nikko Investment Advisors. She was Vice
President and Manager of the Domestic Equity Portfolio Management Group for
Wells Fargo Nikko for seven years prior to that.
Andrea Regan is the portfolio manager for the bond portions of the Asset
Director Funds. She joined Schwab in January 1991 and is currently Portfolio
Manager - Fixed Income. She currently manages three money market funds and two
bond funds with combined assets of approximately $3 billion. Prior to joining
Schwab, she was Vice President and Manager of Trading for Merus Capital
Management, the investment management division of the Bank of California.
Stephen B. Ward, Schwab's Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer,
also participates in the management of each Funds' portfolios. Prior to April
1991, Mr. Ward was Vice President and Portfolio Manager for Federated Investors.
THE SUB-ADVISER. The Investment Manager has retained Symphony Asset Management,
Inc. to serve as Sub-Adviser to the Funds. As Sub-Adviser, Symphony will
recommend to the Investment Manager the asset mix within the defined ranges for
each Fund. Symphony employs a Tactical Asset Allocation model to measure
relative values among asset categories. Using this model, Symphony recommends
asset allocations it believes will provide the highest returns for a given level
of risk. Symphony does not recommend the purchase or sale of individual
securities.
Symphony was established in 1994 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BARRA, Inc.
BARRA, founded in 1975, provides innovative analytical models, software, and
services that enable its more than 800 clients in 30 countries to make superior
investment decisions. BARRA's software and services analyze equity, fixed
income, currency, and other financial markets. Symphony presently serves as Sub-
Adviser to two other investment companies and manages directly and indirectly
over $700 million in institutional and private account assets.
TRANSFER AGENT AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES. Schwab serves as the Shareholder
Services
18
<PAGE> 19
Agent and Transfer Agent for the Funds. Schwab was established in 1971 and is
America's largest discount broker. Schwab provides low-cost securities brokerage
and related financial services to approximately 2.5 million active customer
accounts and has over 200 branch offices. Schwab also offers convenient access
to financial information services and provides products and services that help
investors make investment decisions. Schwab is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Charles Schwab Corporation. Charles R. Schwab is the founder, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, and a director of The Charles Schwab Corporation and, as of
August 31, 1995, the beneficial owner of approximately 20.4% of the outstanding
shares of that corporation. Mr. Schwab may be deemed to be a controlling person
of Schwab and the Investment Manager.
OPERATING FEES AND EXPENSES
For investment management services, under the terms of its Investment Advisory
and Administration Agreement with the Trust, the Investment Manager receives a
graduated annual fee payable monthly from each Fund of 0.74% of each Funds'
average daily net assets not in excess of $1 billion, 0.69% of such net assets
over $1 billion, but not more than $2 billion, and 0.64% of such net assets over
$2 billion.
The Investment Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee, payable monthly,
ranging from 0.08% to 0.02% of the Funds' combined average daily net assets,
declining as assets increase. The Sub-Adviser does not receive compensation
directly from the Funds.
The Investment Manager and Schwab guarantee that, through at least December 31,
1996, the management fee for each of the Funds will not exceed 0.49% of its
average daily net assets, and total fund operating expenses will not exceed
0.89% of each Fund's average daily net assets. The following expenses are not
included as "operating expenses" for purposes of this guarantee: interest
expenses, taxes, foreign taxes withheld, and capital items such as costs of
purchase or sale of portfolio securities, including brokerage fees or
commissions. The effect of this voluntary expense limitation is to maintain or
increase the Funds' total return to shareholders.
For its services as Transfer Agent, Schwab receives an annual fee of 0.05% of
the average daily net assets of each Fund. In addition, for shareholder services
provided, Schwab receives an annual fee of 0.20% of the average daily net assets
of each Fund.
Schwab serves as the distributor for the Funds but receives no compensation for
this service.
OTHER EXPENSES. The Trust pays the expenses of the Funds' operations, including
the fees and expenses for independent auditors, legal counsel, and custodians;
the cost of maintaining books and records of account, taxes, and registration
fees; the fees and expenses of qualifying the Trust and its shares for
distribution under federal and state securities laws; and industry association
membership dues.
The Trust generally allocates these expenses among the individual investment
portfolios or series ("Series") of the Trust, including the Funds. This
allocation is based on the relative net assets of each Series at the time the
expenses are incurred. However, expenses directly attributable to a particular
series are charged to that series.
PORTFOLIO BROKERAGE. When placing orders for the Funds' securities transactions,
the Investment Manager will use its judgment to obtain
19
<PAGE> 20
the best price and execution. The full range and quality of brokerage services
available are considered in making these determinations. For securities
transactions in which Schwab is not a principal, the Investment Manager may use
Schwab to execute the Funds' transactions when it reasonably believes that
commissions (or prices) charged and transaction quality will be at least
comparable to those available from other qualified brokers or dealers.
OTHER INFORMATION ON THE OPERATION OF OUR FUNDS
The Trust was organized as a business trust under the laws of Massachusetts on
May 7, 1993, and may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest
in one or more Series or classes. Currently shares of five Series are offered.
The Board of Trustees may authorize the issuance of shares of additional Series
or classes, if it deems it desirable. Shares within each Series have equal,
noncumulative voting rights, and have equal rights as to dividends, assets, and
liquidation.
ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS. The Trust is not required to hold annual meetings
and does not intend to do so. It will, however, hold special meetings as
required or deemed desirable by the Board of Trustees for purposes such as a
change in a Fund's fundamental policies, election of Trustees, or approval of an
investment advisory agreement. In addition, a Trustee may be elected or removed
by shareholders at a special meeting called upon written request of shareholders
owning in the aggregate at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Trust.
YOUR VOTING RIGHTS. If we were to make changes to a Fund's management or
fundamental policies, you would be asked to vote as a shareholder because
shareholders have voting rights on these matters. If a meeting is held and you
cannot attend, you can vote by proxy. Before the meeting, the Fund will send you
proxy materials that explain the issues to be decided and include a voting card
for you to mail back. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share
owned.
Unless permitted by the 1940 Act, shareholders will vote by Series and not in
the aggregate. For example, when voting to approve an investment advisory
agreement for a Series, only shareholders of that Series may vote; when voting
to elect Trustees, shareholders of all the Series vote in the aggregate.

GLOSSARY OF IMPORTANT TERMS
ANNUALIZED: calculated to represent a year; a statement produced by calculating
financial results covering less than a year to show what might happen when the
results are hypothetically extended to cover an entire year.
BOND: a debt obligation that requires the issuer to pay a fixed sum of money
each year (the interest payments) until maturity, the date on which the bond
comes due and the principal (the amount borrowed) must be paid. Floating or
variable rate bonds have an interest rate that rises or falls if general
interest rates or some other security (such as Treasury bills) rises or falls.
BUSINESS DAY: any day both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the New York

Eastern time when the Exchange opens, and usually ends at 4 p.m. Eastern time
when the Exchange closes.
CAPITAL GAIN OR LOSS: the increase or decrease in the value of a security over
the original purchase price. A gain is realized when the security that has
increased in value is sold. An unrealized gain or loss occurs when the value of
a security increases or decreases but the security is not sold. If a security is
held for more than 12 months and then sold at a profit, that profit is a
realized long-term capital gain. If it is sold at a profit after being held for
less than 12 months, that profit is a realized short-term capital gain.

its date of maturity, and the value on which the calculation of interest
payments is based.
PORTFOLIO: the total stocks, bonds, and other securities held by an individual
investor, a mutual fund, or a financial institution.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
SCHWAB INTERNATIONAL INDEX FUND(TM)
The investment objective of the International Index Fund is to track
the price and dividend performance (total return) of the Schwab International
Index(TM), (the "International Index"), an index created to represent the
performance of common stocks and other equity securities issued by large
publicly traded companies from countries around the world with major developed
securities markets, excluding the United States.
SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX FUND(TM)
The investment objective of the Small-Cap Index Fund is to attempt to
track the price and dividend performance (total return) of the Schwab Small-Cap
Index(TM) (the "Small-Cap Index"), an index created to represent the performance
of the second 1,000 publicly traded common stocks issued by United States
companies, ranked by market capitalization (share price times the number of
shares outstanding).
SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R)-HIGH GROWTH FUND
The investment objective of the Schwab Asset Director-High Growth Fund
is to provide high capital growth with less volatility than an all-stock
portfolio. This Fund provides the greatest exposure to various stock
categories, including domestic large and small company stocks, and international
stocks.
SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R)-BALANCED GROWTH FUND
The investment objective of the Schwab Asset Director-Balanced Growth
Fund is to provide the shareholder with maximum total return, including both
capital growth and income. This Fund represents a more balanced approach to
stocks and bonds.
SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R)-CONSERVATIVE GROWTH FUND
The investment objective of the Schwab Asset Director-Conservative
Growth Fund is to provide the shareholder with income and more growth potential
than an all-bond portfolio. This Fund's stock component is designed to help
offset inflation.
The investment objectives stated above for each of the Funds, along
with certain investment restrictions adopted by the Funds, are fundamental and
cannot be changed without approval by holders of a majority of the Funds'
outstanding voting shares, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"1940 Act").

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
The International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds expect to
invest in stocks of foreign issuers. The International Index Fund will invest
primarily in such stocks. Investing in foreign issuers involves certain special
considerations, including those set forth below, which are not typically
associated with investing in U.S. issuers. Since investments in the securities
of foreign issuers are usually made and held in foreign currencies, and since
the International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds may hold cash in
foreign currencies, they may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in
currency rates and in exchange control regulations and may incur costs in
connection with conversions between various currencies. The rate of exchange
between the U.S. dollar and other currencies is determined by the forces of
supply and demand in the foreign exchange market as well as by political and
economic factors.
Since foreign companies are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing
and financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable to
those applicable to U.S. companies, there may be less publicly available
information about a foreign company than about a U.S. company. Volume and
liquidity in most markets are less than in the U.S. and securities of many
foreign companies are less liquid and more volatile than securities of
comparable U.S. companies. Fixed commissions on foreign securities exchanges
are generally higher than negotiated commissions on U.S. exchanges, although the
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds endeavors to achieve the
most favorable net results on their portfolio transactions. There is generally
less government supervision and regulation of foreign securities exchanges,
brokers, dealers and listed companies than in the U.S., thus increasing the risk
of delayed settlements of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates for
portfolio securities.
Foreign markets also have different clearance and settlement
procedures, and in certain markets there have been times when settlements have
been unable to keep pace with the volume of securities transactions, making it
difficult to conduct such transactions. Such delays in settlement could result
in temporary periods when a portion of the assets of the International Index
Fund and the Asset Director Funds are uninvested and no return is earned
thereon. The inability to make intended security purchases due to settlement
problems could cause the International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds
to miss attractive investment opportunities. Losses to the International Index
Fund and the Asset Director Funds arising out of the inability to fulfill a
contract to sell such securities, could result in potential liability to the
International Index Fund and Asset Director Funds.
In addition, with respect to those countries in which the International
Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds may invest or other countries which may
have a significant impact on the companies in which the International Index Fund
and the Asset Director Funds
3
<PAGE> 28
may invest, there is the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation,
political or social instability, diplomatic developments, change of government
or war which could affect the International Index Fund's and the Asset Director
Funds' investments. Moreover, individual foreign economies may differ favorably
or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross
national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource
self-sufficiency and balance of payments position.
Each of the Asset Director Funds may invest up to 5% of its total
assets in companies located in developing countries. Compared to the United
States and other developed countries, developing countries may have relatively
unstable governments, economies based on only a few industries, and securities
markets which trade a small number of securities. Prices on these exchanges
tend to be volatile and, in the past, securities in these countries have offered
greater potential for gain (as well as loss) than securities of companies
located in developed countries.
Hong Kong. In addition to the risks discussed above, it is impossible
to currently foresee what risk, if any, may exist to the International Index
Fund's and the Asset Director Funds' investments as a result of the planned 1997
incorporation of the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong into the People's
Republic of China. Shareholders should note that the risks discussed above may
increase depending on political and economic developments as the scheduled time
for the change in government in Hong Kong draws nearer.
DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS
Each of the Asset Director Funds may invest up to 5% of its total
assets in American Depository Receipts and European Depositary Receipts (ADRs
and EDRs) which are receipts representing ownership of share of a foreign-based
issuer held in trust by a bank or similar financial institution. These are
designed for U.S. and European securities markets as alternatives to purchasing
underlying securities in their corresponding national markets and currencies.
ADRs and EDRs can be sponsored or unsponsored. Sponsored ADRs and EDRs are
certificates in which a bank or financial institution participates with a
custodian. Issuers of unsponsored ADRs and EDRs are not contractually obligated
to disclose material information in the United States. Therefore, there may not
be a correlation between such information and the market value of the
unsponsored ADR or EDR.
OPTIONS ON SECURITIES
Writing Covered Options. The Funds may write (sell) covered call and
put options on any securities in which they may invest. The Funds may purchase
and write such options on securities that are listed on domestic or foreign
securities exchanges or traded in the over-the-counter market. All call options
written by the Funds are covered,
4
<PAGE> 29
which means that the Funds will own the securities subject to the option so long
as the option is outstanding. The purpose of writing covered call options is to
realize greater income than would be realized on portfolio securities
transactions alone. However, in writing covered call options for additional
income, the Funds may forego the opportunity to profit from an increase in the
market price of the underlying security.
All put options written by the Funds will be covered, which means that
each of the Funds will have deposited with its custodian cash, U.S. government
securities or other high-grade debt securities (i.e., securities rated in one of
the top three categories by Moody's Investor Service ("Moody's") or Standard &
Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), or, if unrated, determined by the Funds' Investment
Manager to be of comparable credit quality) with a value at least equal to the
exercise price of the put option. The purpose of writing such options is to
generate additional income for the Funds. However, in return for the option
premium, the Funds accept the risk that they may be required to purchase the
underlying securities at a price in excess of the securities market value at
the time of purchase.
The Funds may terminate their obligations under a written call or put
option by purchasing an option identical to the one it has written. Such
purchases are referred to as "closing purchase transactions."
Purchasing Options. The Funds may purchase put and call options on any
securities in which they may invest or options on any securities index based on
securities in which they may invest. The Funds would also be able to enter into
closing sale transactions in order to realize gains or minimize losses on
options they have purchased.
The writer of an option may have no control over when the underlying
securities must be sold, in the case of a call option, or purchased, in the case
of a put option, since, with regard to certain options the writer may be
assigned an exercise notice at any time prior to the termination of the
obligation. Whether or not an option expires unexercised, the writer retains
the amount of the premium. This amount may, in the case of a covered call
option, be offset by a decline in the market value of the underlying security
during the option period. If a call option is exercised, the writer experiences
a profit or loss from the sale of the underlying security. If a put option is
exercised, the writer must fulfill its obligation to purchase the underlying
security at the exercise price, which will usually exceed the then market value
of the underlying security.
The purchase of a call option would entitle the Funds, in return for
the premium paid, to purchase specified securities at a specified price during
the option period. The Funds would ordinarily realize a gain if, during the
option period, the value of such securities exceeded the sum of the exercise
price, the premium paid and transaction costs, otherwise the Funds would realize
either no gain or a loss on the purchase of the call option.
5
<PAGE> 30
Risks Associated With Options Transactions. There is no assurance that
a liquid secondary market on a domestic or foreign options exchange will exist
for any particular exchange-traded option or at any particular time. If the
Funds are unable to effect a closing purchase transaction with respect to
covered options they have written, the Funds will not be able to sell the
underlying securities or dispose of assets held in a segregated account until
the options expire or are exercised. Similarly, if the Funds are unable to
effect a closing sale transaction with respect to options they have purchased,
they would have to exercise the options in order to realize any profit and will
incur transaction costs upon the purchase or sale of underlying securities.
Reasons for the absence of a liquid secondary market on an exchange
include the following: (i) there may be insufficient trading interest in certain
options; (ii) restrictions may be imposed by an exchange on opening transaction
or closing transactions or both; (iii) trading halts, suspensions or other
restrictions may be imposed with respect to particular classes or series of
options; (iv) unusual or unforeseen circumstances may interrupt normal
operations on an exchange; (v) the facilities of an exchange or the Options
Clearing Corporation (the "OCC") may not at all times be adequate to handle
current trading volume; or (vi) one or more exchanges could, for economic or
other reasons, decide or be compelled at some future date to discontinue the
trading of options (or a particular class or series of options), although
outstanding options on that exchange that had been issued by the OCC as a result
of trades on that exchange would continue to be exercisable in accordance with
their terms.
The Funds may purchase and sell both options that are traded on U.S.
and foreign exchanges and options traded over-the- counter with broker-dealers
who make markets in these options. The ability to terminate over-the-counter
options is more limited than with exchange-traded options and may involve the
risk that broker-dealers participating in such transactions will not fulfill
their obligations. Until such time as the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") changes its position, the Funds will treat purchased
over-the-counter options and all assets used to cover written over-the-counter
options as illiquid securities, except that with respect to options written with
primary dealers in the U.S. government securities pursuant to an agreement
requiring a closing purchase transaction at a formula price, the amount of
illiquid securities may be calculated with reference to a formula approved by
the staff of the SEC. Each of the Funds will write or purchase an option only
where the market value of that option, when aggregated with the market value of
all other options transactions made on behalf of the Fund does not exceed 5% of
the Fund's total assets.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. The International Index
Fund and the Asset Director Funds may enter into forward foreign currency
exchange contracts in several
6
<PAGE> 31
circumstances. The International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds may
engage in foreign currency exchange transactions to protect against uncertainty
in the level of future exchange rates. The International Index Fund and the
Asset Director Funds expect to engage in foreign currency exchange transactions
in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities (so-called
"transaction hedging") and to protect the value of specific portfolio positions
("position hedging").
For transaction hedging purposes, the International Index Fund and the
Asset Director Funds enter into foreign currency transactions with respect to
specific receivables or payables of the funds arising in connection with the
purchase or sale of portfolio securities. By transaction hedging, the
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds will attempt to protect
against a possible loss resulting from an adverse change in the relationship
between the U.S. dollar and the applicable foreign currency during the period
between the date on which the security is purchased or sold, and the date on
which such payments are made or received. When engaging in position hedging,
the International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds enter into foreign
currency exchange transactions to protect against a decline in the values of the
foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated (or against an
increase in the value of currency for securities which the International Index
Fund and the Asset Director Funds expect to purchase).
When engaging in portfolio and/or transaction hedging, the
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds may purchase or sell
foreign on a spot (or cash) basis at the prevailing spot rate, and may also
enter into contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future date
("forward contracts") and purchase and sell foreign currency futures contracts
("futures contracts"). The International Index Fund and the Asset Director
Funds may also purchase exchange-listed and over-the-counter call and put
options on futures contracts and on foreign currencies. A put option on a
futures contract gives the International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds
the right to assume a short position in the futures contract until expiration of
the option. A put option on currency gives the International Index Fund and the
Asset Director Funds the right to sell a currency at an exercise price until the
expiration of the option. A call option on a futures contract gives the
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds the right to assume a long
position in the futures contract until the expiration of the option. A call
option on currency gives the International Index Fund and the Asset Director
Funds the right to purchase a currency at the exercise price until the
expiration of the option.
Hedging transactions involve costs and may result in losses, and the
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds' ability to engage in
hedging transactions may be limited by tax considerations. Transaction and
position hedging do not eliminate
7
<PAGE> 32
fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities which the fund owns or
expects to purchase or expects to purchase or sell. They simply establish a rate
of exchange which one can achieve at some future point in time. Additionally,
although these techniques tend to minimize the risk of loss due to decline in
the value of the hedged currency, they tend to limit any potential gain which
might result from an increase in the value of such currency.
Although the contracts are not presently regulated by the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"), the CFTC may in the future assert
authority to regulate these contracts. In such event, the International Index
Fund's and the Asset Director Funds' ability to utilize forward foreign currency
exchange contracts may be restricted.
Each of the Asset Director Funds will enter into a forward foreign
currency exchange contract only when the market value of such contract, when
aggregated with the market value of all other such contracts held by the Fund
does not exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets.
The International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds generally
will not enter into a forward contract with a term of greater than one year.
While the International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds will
enter into forward contracts to reduce currency exchange rate risks,
transactions in such contracts involve certain other risks. Thus, while the
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds may benefit from such
transactions, unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in a poorer
overall performance for the International Index Fund and the Asset Director
Funds than if it had not engaged in any such transactions. Moreover, there may
be imperfect correlation between the International Index Fund's and the Asset
Director Funds' portfolio holdings of securities denominated in a particular
currency and forward contracts entered into by the International Index Fund and
the Asset Director Funds. Such imperfect correlation may cause the
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds to sustain losses which
will prevent the International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds from
achieving a complete hedge or expose the International Index Fund and the Asset
Director Funds to risk of foreign exchange loss.
Writing and Purchasing Currency Call and Put Options. The
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds may write covered put and
call options and purchase put and call options on foreign currencies for the
purpose of protecting against declines in the dollar value of portfolio
securities and against increases in the dollar cost of securities to be
acquired. A call option written by the International Index Fund and the Asset
Director Funds obligates the International Index Fund and the Asset Director
Funds to sell specified currency to the holder of the option at a specified
price at any time before the expiration date. A put option written by the
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds would obligate the
8
<PAGE> 33
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds to purchase specified
currency from the option holder at a specified time before the expiration date.
The writing of currency options involves a risk that the International Index
Fund and the Asset Director Funds will, upon exercise of the option, be required
to sell currency subject to a call at a price that is less than the currency's
market value or be required to purchase currency subject to a put at a price
that exceeds the currency's market value.
The International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds may terminate
their obligations under a call or put option by purchasing an option identical
to the one it has written. Such purchases are referred to as "closing purchase
transactions." The International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds would
also be able to enter into closing sale transactions in order to realize gains
or minimize losses on options purchased by the International Index Fund and the
Asset Director Funds.
The purchase of a call option would entitle the International Index
Fund and the Asset Director Funds, in return for the premium paid, to purchase
specified currency at a specified price during the option period. The
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds would ordinarily realize a
gain or a loss on the purchase of the call option.
The purchase of a put option would entitle the International Index Fund
and the Asset Director Funds, in exchange for the premium paid, to sell specific
currency at a specified price during the option period. The purchase of
protective puts is designed merely to offset or hedge against a decline in the
dollar value of the International Index Fund's and the Asset Director Funds'
portfolio securities due to currency exchange rate fluctuations. The
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds would ordinarily realize a
gain, if, during the option period, the value of the underlying currency
decreased below the exercise price sufficiently to more than cover the premium
and transaction costs; otherwise the International Index Fund and the Asset
Director Funds would realize either no gain or a loss on the purchase of the put
option. Gains and losses on the purchase of protective put options would tend
to be offset by countervailing changes in the value of the underlying currency.
Special Risks Associated With Options on Foreign Currency. An exchange
traded option position may be closed out only on an options exchange which
provides a secondary market for an option of the same series. Although the
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds will generally purchase or
write only those options for which there appears to be an active secondary
market, there is no assurance that a liquid secondary market on an exchange will
exist for any particular option, or at any particular time. For some options, no
secondary market on an exchange may exist, In such event, it might not be
possible to effect closing transactions in particular options, with the result
that the International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds would have to
exercise its options in order to realize any
9
<PAGE> 34
profit and would incur transaction costs upon the sale of underlying securities
pursuant to the exercise of put options. If the International Index Fund and
the Asset Director Funds as a covered call option writer is unable to effect a
closing purchase transaction in a secondary market, it will not be able to sell
the underlying currency (or security denominated in that currency) until the
option expires or it delivers the underlying currency upon exercise.
There is no assurance that higher than anticipated trading activity or
other unforeseen events might not, at times, render certain of the facilities of
the OCC inadequate, and thereby result in the institution by an exchange of
special procedures which may interfere with the timely execution of customers'
orders.
The International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds will purchase
and write over-the-counter options only to the extent consistent with its
limitations on investments in illiquid securities, as described in the
Prospectuses. Trading in over- the-counter options is subject to the risk that
the other party will be unable or unwilling to close-out purchasing and writing
activities.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS
To hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices or
currency exchange rates, the Funds may purchase and sell various kinds of
futures contracts. In addition, the Asset Director Funds may purchase and sell
futures contracts as a substitute for a comparable market position in the
underlying securities. The Funds may also enter into closing purchase and sale
transactions with respect to any such contracts and options. The futures
contracts may be based on various securities (such as U.S. government
securities), securities indices, foreign currencies and other financial
instruments and indices. The Small-Cap Index and International Index Funds will
engage in futures and related option transactions only for bona fide hedging or
other appropriate risk management purposes as defined below. All futures
contracts entered into by the Funds are traded on U.S. exchanges or boards of
trade that are licensed and regulated by the CFTC or on foreign exchanges.
Futures Contracts. A futures contract may generally be described as an
agreement between two parties to buy and sell particular financial instruments
for an agreed upon price during a designated month (or to deliver the final cash
settlement price, in the case of a contract relating to an index or otherwise
not calling for physical delivery at the end of trading in the contract).
When interest rates are rising or securities prices are falling, the
Funds can seek, through the sale of futures contracts, to offset a decline in
the value of its current portfolio securities. When rates are falling or prices
are rising, the Funds, through the purchase of futures contracts, can attempt to
secure better rates or prices than might later be available in the market when
they affect anticipated purchases. Similarly, the International Index Fund and
the Asset Director Funds can sell futures contracts
10
<PAGE> 35
on a specified currency to protect against a decline in the value of such
currency and its portfolio securities which are denominated in such currency.
The International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds can purchase futures
contracts on foreign currency to fix the price in U.S. dollars of a security
denominated in such currency that the International Index Fund and the Asset
Director Funds have acquired or expect to acquire.
Although futures contracts by their terms generally call for the actual
delivery or acquisition of underlying securities or the cash value of the index,
in most cases the contractual obligation is fulfilled before the date of the
contract without having to make or take such delivery. The contractual
obligation is offset by buying (or selling, as the case may be) on a commodities
exchange an identical futures contract calling for delivery in the same month.
Such a transaction, which is effected through a member of an exchange, cancels
the obligation to make or take delivery of the securities or the cash value of
the index underlying the contractual obligations. The Funds may incur brokerage
fees when they purchase or sell futures contracts.
Positions taken in the futures markets are not normally held to
maturity, but are instead liquidated through offsetting transactions which may
result in a profit or a loss. While the Funds' futures contracts on securities
or currency will usually be liquidated in this manner, the Funds may instead
make or take delivery of the underlying securities or currency whenever it
appears economically advantageous for them to do so. A clearing corporation
associated with the exchange on which futures on securities or currency are
traded guarantees that, if still open, the sale or purchase will be performed on
the settlement date.
Hedging Strategies With Futures. Hedging by use of futures contracts
seeks to establish more certainty than would otherwise be possible with respect
to the effective price, rate of return or currency exchange rate on portfolio
securities or securities that the Funds own or propose to acquire. Such futures
contracts may include contracts for the future delivery of securities held by
the Funds or securities with characteristics similar to those of the Funds'
portfolio securities. Similarly, the International Index Fund and the Asset
Director Funds may sell futures contracts on currency in which its portfolio
securities are denominated or in one currency to hedge against fluctuations in
the value of securities denominated in a different currency if there is an
established historical pattern of correlation between the two currencies. If,
in the opinion of the Funds' Investment Manager, there is a sufficient degree of
correlation between price trends for the Funds' portfolio securities and futures
contracts based on other financial instruments, securities indices or other
indices, the Funds may also enter into such futures contracts as part of their
hedging strategy. Although under some circumstances, prices of securities in
the Funds' portfolio may be more or less volatile than prices of such futures
contracts, the Funds' Investment
11
<PAGE> 36
Manager will attempt to estimate the extent of this difference in volatility
based on historical patterns and to compensate for it by having the Funds enter
into a greater or lesser number of futures contracts or by attempting to achieve
only a particular hedge against price changes affecting the Funds' portfolio
securities. When hedging of this character is successful, any depreciation in
the value of the portfolio securities will substantially be offset by
appreciation in the value of the futures position. On the other hand, any
unanticipated appreciation in the value of the Funds' portfolio securities would
be substantially offset by a decline in the value of the futures position.
On other occasions, the Funds may take "long" positions by purchasing
such futures contracts. This would be done, for example, when the Funds
anticipate the subsequent purchase of particular securities when they have the
necessary cash, but expects the prices or currency exchange rates then available
in the applicable market to be less favorable than prices that are currently
available.
Options on Futures Contracts. The acquisition of put and call options
on futures contracts will give the Funds the right (but not the obligation), for
a specified price, to sell or to purchase, respectively, the underlying futures
contract at any time during the option period. As the purchaser of an option on
a futures contract, the Funds obtain the benefit of the futures position if
prices move in a favorable direction but limit their risk of loss in the event
of an unfavorable price movement to the loss of the premium and transaction
costs.
The writing of a call option on a futures contract generates a premium
which may partially offset a decline in the value of the Funds' assets. By
writing a call option, the Funds become obligated, in exchange for the premium,
to sell a futures contract, which may have a value lower than the exercise
price. Thus, the loss incurred by the Funds in writing options on futures is
potentially unlimited and may exceed the amount of the premium received. The
Funds will incur transaction costs in connection with the writing of options on
futures.
The holder or writer of an option on a futures contract may terminate
its position by selling or purchasing an offsetting option on the same series.
There is no guarantee that such closing transactions can be effected. The
Funds' ability to establish and close out positions on such options will be
subject to the development and maintenance of a liquid market.
The Small-Cap Index and International Index Funds may use options on
futures contracts solely for bona fide hedging or other appropriate risk
management purposes as defined below. In addition, the Asset Director Funds may
use options on futures contracts as a substitute for a comparable market
position in the underlying securities.
Other Considerations. The Small-Cap Index and International Index
Funds
12
<PAGE> 37
will engage in futures and related options transactions only for bona fide
hedging or other appropriate risk management purposes, and the Asset Director
Funds will engage in futures and related options transactions to meet asset
allocation targets, in accordance with CFTC regulations which permit principals
of an investment company registered under the 1940 Act to engage in such
transactions without registering as commodity pool operators. "Appropriate risk
management purposes" means activities in addition to bona fide hedging which the
CFTC deems appropriate for operators of entities, including registered
investment companies, that are excluded from the definition of commodity pool
operator. The Funds are not permitted to engage in speculative futures trading.
The Funds will determine that the price fluctuations in the futures contracts
and options on futures used for hedging purposes are substantially related to
price fluctuations in securities held by the Funds or which they expect to
purchase. Except as stated below, the Funds' futures transactions will be
entered into for traditional hedging purposes--i.e., futures contracts will be
sold to protect against a decline in the price of securities, or the currency
will be purchased to protect the Fund against an increase in the price of
securities, or the currency in which they are denominated. As evidence of this
hedging intent, the Small-Cap Index and International Index Funds expect that on
75% or more of the occasions on which it takes a long futures (or option)
position (involving the purchase of futures contracts), the Small-Cap Index and
International Index Funds will have purchased, or will be in the process of
purchasing, equivalent amounts of related securities (or assets denominated in
the related currency) in the cash market at the time when the futures (or
option) position is closed out. However, in particular cases, when it is
economically advantageous for the Funds to do so, a long futures position may be
terminated (or an option may expire) without the corresponding purchase of
securities or other assets. As an alternative to literal compliance with the
bona fide hedging definition, a CFTC regulation permits the Funds to elect to
comply with a different test, under which (i) the Funds' futures positions will
be used as part of its portfolio management strategy and will be incidental to
its activities in the underlying cash market and (ii) the underlying commodity
value of such positions will not exceed the sum of (a) cash or cash equivalents
segregated for this purpose, (b) cash proceeds on existing investments due
within 30 days, and (c) accrued profits on such futures or options positions.
Each of the Funds will engage in transactions in futures contracts and
related options only to the extent such transactions are consistent with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for
maintaining its qualification as a regulated investment company for federal
income tax purposes.
Each Fund may not purchase or sell futures contracts or purchase or
sell related options, except for closing purchase or sale transactions, if
immediately thereafter the sum of the amount of margin deposits on the Fund's
13
<PAGE> 38
outstanding futures and related options positions and the amount of premiums
paid for outstanding options on futures would exceed 5% of the market value of
the Fund's total assets. These transactions involve brokerage costs, require
margin deposits and, in the case of futures contracts and options obligating the
Funds to purchase securities or currencies, require the Funds to segregate
assets to cover such contracts and options.
While transactions in futures contracts and options on futures may
reduce certain risks, such transactions themselves entail certain other risks.
Thus, while the Funds may benefit from the use of futures and options on
futures, unanticipated changes in interest rates, securities prices or currency
exchange rates may result in a poorer overall performance for the Funds than if
they had not entered into any futures contracts or options transactions. In the
event of an imperfect correlation between a futures position and portfolio
position which is intended to be protected, the desired protection may not be
obtained and the Funds may be exposed to risk of loss.
Perfect correlation between the Funds' futures positions and portfolio
positions may be difficult to achieve. In addition, it is not possible to hedge
fully or perfectly against currency fluctuations affecting the value of
securities denominated in foreign currencies because the value of such
securities is likely to fluctuate as a result of independent factors not related
to currency fluctuations.
In addition to bona fide hedging and other risk management purposes as discussed
above, the Asset Director Funds may purchase and sell stock and bond futures
contracts, including stock index futures contracts, and options on such futures
contracts as a substitute for a comparable market position in the underlying
securities. To the extent the Asset Director Funds engage in the use of futures
and options on futures other than for hedging purposes, the Funds may be subject
to additional risk.
The price of stock index futures may not correlate perfectly with the movement
in the stock index because of certain market distortions. First, all
participants in the futures market are subject to margin deposit and maintenance
requirements. Rather than meeting additional margin deposit requirements,
investors may close futures contracts through offsetting transactions which
would distort the normal relationship between the index and futures markets.
Secondly, from the point of view of speculators, the deposit requirements in the
futures market are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities
market. Therefore, increased participation by speculators in the futures market
also may cause temporary price distortions.
SWAPS
Each of the Asset Director Funds may enter into swaps on various
securities (such as U.S. government securities), securities indexes, interest
rates, prepayment rates, foreign currencies or other financial instruments
14
<PAGE> 39
or indexes, in order to protect the value of the Asset Director Funds from
interest rate fluctuations and to hedge against fluctuations in the floating
rate market in which the Asset Director Funds' investments are traded, for both
hedging and non-hedging purposes. While swaps are different from futures
contracts (and options on futures contracts) in that swap contracts are
individually negotiated with specific counterparties, the Asset Director Funds
will use swap contracts for purposes similar to the purposes for which they use
options, futures, and options on futures. Those uses of swap contracts (i.e.,
risk management and hedging) present the Funds with risks and opportunities
similar to those associated with options contracts, futures contracts, and
options on futures. See "Futures Contracts and Options on Futures Contracts" in
this Statement.
The Asset Director Funds may enter into these transactions to manage
their exposure to changing interest rates and other market factors. Some
transactions may reduce each Asset Director Funds' exposure to market
fluctuations while others may tend to increase market exposure.
The use of swaps involves investment techniques and risks different
from and potentially greater than those associated with ordinary fund securities
transactions. If the Investment Manager is incorrect in its expectations of
market values, interest rates, or currency exchange rates, the investment
performance of the Asset Director Funds would be less favorable than it would
have been if this investment technique were not used. The Asset Director Funds
will only invest in swaps up to 5% of each Fund's total assets.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Funds may invest in preferred stock. Preferred stock has priority
as to income and generally as to assets of the issuer, however, income is
usually limited to a definitive percentage regardless of the issuer's earnings.
Preferred stock usually has limited voting rights. The Asset Director Funds
will only invest in preferred stock up to 5% of each Fund's net assets.
CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES
Each of the Asset Director Funds may invest up to 5% of its net assets
in securities that are convertible into common stock, including convertible
bonds, convertible preferred stocks, and warrants.
Convertible bonds are issued with lower coupons than nonconvertible
bonds of the same quality and maturity, but they give holders the option to
exchange their bonds for a specific number of shares of the company's common
stock at a predetermined price. This structure allows the convertible bond
holder to participate in share price movements in the company's common stock.
The actual return on a convertible bond may exceed its stated yield if the
company's common stock appreciates in value, and the option to convert to common
shares becomes more valuable.
15
<PAGE> 40
Convertible preferred stocks are nonvoting equity securities that pay a
fixed dividend. These securities have a convertible feature similar to
convertible bonds; however, they do not have a maturity date. Due to their
fixed-income features, convertible issues typically are more sensitive to
interest rate changes than the underlying common stock. In the event of
liquidation, bondholders would have claims on company assets senior to those of
stockholders; preferred stockholders would have claims senior to those of common
stockholders.
The Funds may invest in warrants. Warrants entitle the holder to buy
the issuer's stock at a specific price for a specific period of time. The price
of a warrant tends to be more volatile than, and does not always track, the
prices of its underlying stock. Warrants are issued with expiration dates. Once
a warrant expires, it has no value in the market.
REAL ESTATE-RELATED INVESTMENTS
Each of the Asset Director Funds may invest up to 5% of its total
assets in real estate-related investments. Real estate- related instruments
include real estate investment trusts, commercial and residential
mortgage-backed securities, and real estate financings. Real estate-related
instruments are sensitive to factors such as changes in real estate values and
property taxes, interest rates, cash flow of underlying real estate assets,
overbuilding, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. Real
estate-related instruments may also be affected by tax and regulatory
requirements, such as those relating to the environment.
PRECIOUS METAL-RELATED INVESTMENTS
Each of the Asset Director Funds may invest up to 5% of its total
assets in precious metal-related investments. The Asset Director Funds may
invest in common stocks of companies principally engaged in precious
metal-related activities which include companies principally engaged in the
extraction, processing, distribution, or marketing of precious metals industry
if at the time of investment the Investment Manager considers that at least 50%
of the company's assets, revenues or profits are derived from the precious metal
industry. The Asset Director Funds may also invest in securities of companies
principally engaged in the precious metals industry in which the Asset Director
may be foreign or domestic. For further disclosure on foreign securities, see
"Foreign Investments" in this Statement of Additional Information.
The Asset Director Funds may also invest in futures on precious metals,
such as gold futures, and options thereon. Such investments are subject to the
investment limitations for investments in futures and options for the Asset
Director Funds as set forth in "Futures Contracts and Options on Futures
Contracts" in this Statement of Additional Information.
Prices of precious metals can be expected to respond to changes in
rates of inflation and to perceptions of economic and political instability.
Historically, the
16
<PAGE> 41
prices of precious metals and of securities of companies engaged in the precious
metal-related activities may be subject to extreme fluctuations, reflecting
wider economic or political instability or for other reasons.
U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES
The Funds may purchase U.S. Government securities direct obligations of
the United States Government are supported by the full faith and credit of the
United States Treasury. While obligations of certain United States Government
agencies and instrumentalities are similarly backed, those of others, such as
the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Student Loan Marketing
Association, are only supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the
U.S. Treasury, the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase
the agency's obligations or the credit of the issuing agency or instrumentality.
There can be no assurance that the U.S. Government would provide financial
support to United States Government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if
it is not obligated to do so by law. A Fund will invest in U.S. Government
securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Treasury
only when Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (the "Investment Manager")
is satisfied that the credit risk with respect to their issuer is minimal.
GOVERNMENT "MORTGAGE BACKED" SECURITIES
Among the U.S. Government securities in which the Funds may invest are
government "mortgage-backed" (or government guaranteed mortgage-related)
securities. Mortgages backing the securities purchased by the Funds include,
among others, conventional thirty year fixed rate mortgages, graduated payment
mortgages, fifteen year mortgages and adjustable rate mortgages. All of these
mortgages can be used to create pass-through securities. A pass-through
security is formed when mortgages are pooled together and undivided interest in
the pool or pools are sold. The cash flow from the mortgages is passed through
to the holders of the securities in the form of periodic payments of interest,
principal and prepayments (net of a service fee). Prepayments occur when the
holder of an individual mortgage prepays the remaining principal before the
mortgage's scheduled maturity date. As a result of the pass-through of
prepayments of principal on the underlying securities, mortgage-backed
securities are often subject to more rapid prepayment of principal then their
stated maturity would indicate. Because the prepayment characteristics of the
underlying mortgages vary, it is not possible to predict accurately the realized
yield or average life of a particular issue of pass-through certificates.
Prepayment rates
17
<PAGE> 42
are important because of their effect on the yield and price of the securities.
Accelerated prepayments adversely impact yields for pass-throughs purchased at a
premium (i,e., a price in excess of principal amount) and may involve additional
risk of loss of principal because the premium may not have been fully amortized
at the time the obligation is repaid. The opposite is true for pass-throughs
purchased at a discount. The Funds may purchase mortgage-related securities at
a premium or at a discount. Principal and interest payments on the
mortgage-related securities are government guaranteed to the extent described
below. Such guarantees do not extend to the value or yield of the
mortgage-related securities themselves or of a Fund's shares.
GNMA Certificates. Certificates of the Government National Mortgage
Association ("GNMA") are mortgaged securities which evidence an undivided
interest in a pool or pools of mortgages. GNMA Certificates that the Funds may
purchase are the "modified pass-through" type, which entitle the holder to
receive timely payment of all interest and principal payments due on the
mortgage pool, net of fees paid to the "issuer" and GNMA, regardless of whether
or not the mortgagor actually makes the payment.
The National Housing Act authorized GNMA to guarantee the timely
payment of principal and interest on securities backed by a pool of mortgages
insured by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") or guaranteed by the
Veterans Administration ("VA"). The GNMA guarantee is backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States. The GNMA is also empowered to borrow without
limitation from the U.S. Treasury if necessary to make any payments required
under its guarantee.
The average life of a GNMA Certificate is likely to be substantially
shorter than the original maturity of the mortgages underlying the securities.
Prepayments of principal by mortgagors and mortgage foreclosures will usually
result in the return of the greater part of principal investment long before the
maturity of the mortgages in the pool. Foreclosures impose no risk to principal
investment because of the GNMA guarantee, except to the extent that a Fund has
purchased the certificates above par in the secondary market.
FHLMC Securities. The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC")
was created in 1970 to promote development of a nationwide secondary market in
conventional residential mortgages. The FHLMC issues two types of mortgage
pass-through securities ("FHLMC Certificates"), mortgage participation
certificates ("PCs") and guaranteed mortgage certificates ("GMCs"). PCs
resemble GNMA Certificates in that each PC represents a pro rata share of all
interest and principal payments made and owed on the underlying pool. The FHLMC
guarantees timely monthly payment of interest on PCs and the ultimate payment of
principal.
GMCs also represent a pro rata interest in a pool of mortgages.
However,
18
<PAGE> 43
these instruments pay interest semi-annually and return principal once a year in
guaranteed minimum payments. The expected average life of these securities is
approximately ten years. The FHLMC guarantee is not backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States.
FNMA Securities. The Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA")
was established in 1938 to create a secondary market in mortgages insured by the
FHA. FNMA issues guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates ("FNMA
Certificates"). FNMA Certificates resemble GNMA Certificates in that each FNMA
Certificate represents a pro rata share of all interest and principal payments
made and owed on the underlying pool. FNMA guarantees timely payment of
interest and principal on FNMA Certificates. The FNMA guarantee is not backed
by the full faith and credit of the United States.
OTHER ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES
The Asset Director Funds may invest a portion of their assets in debt
obligations known as "Asset-Backed Securities" that are rated in one of the
three highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization (e.g., Standard & Poor's Corporation or Moody's Investors Service,
Inc.) or, if not so rated, deemed to be of equivalent quality by the Investment
Manager pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees. The credit
quality of most Asset-Backed Securities depends primarily on the credit quality
of the assets underlying such securities, how well the entity issuing the
security is insulated from the credit risk of the originator (or any other
affiliated entities), and the amount and quality of any credit support provided
to the securities. The rate of principal payments on asset-backed securities
generally depends on the rate of principal payments received on the underlying
assets, which in turn may be affected by a variety of economic and other
factors. As a result, the yield on any asset-backed security is difficult to
predict with precision and actual yield to maturity may be more or less than the
anticipated yield to maturity. Asset-Backed Securities may be classified as
"Pass-Through Certificates" or "Collateralized Obligations."
"Pass-Through Certificates" are asset-backed securities that represent
undivided fractional ownership interests in the underlying pool of assets.
Pass-Through Certificates usually provide for payments of principal and interest
received to be passed through to their holders, usually after deduction for
certain costs and expenses incurred in administering the pool. Because Pass-
Through Certificates represent ownership interests in the underlying assets, the
holders thereof bear directly the risk of any defaults by the obligors on the
underlying assets not covered by any credit support.
Asset-Backed Securities issued in the form of debt instruments, also
known as Collateralized Obligations, are generally issued as the debt of a
special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets
and issuing such debt. The assets collateralizing such
19
<PAGE> 44
Asset-Backed Securities are pledged to a trustee or custodian for the benefit of
the holders thereof. Such issuers generally hold no assets other than those
underlying the Asset-Backed Securities and any credit support provided. As a
result, although payments on such Asset-Backed Securities are obligations of the
issuers, in the event of default on the underlying assets not covered by any
credit support, the issuing entities are unlikely to have sufficient assets to
satisfy their obligations on the related Asset-Backed Securities.
METHODS OF ALLOCATING CASH FLOWS
While many Asset-Backed Securities are issued with only one class of
security, many others are issued in more than one class, each with different
payment terms. Multiple class Asset-Backed Securities are issued for two main
reasons. First, multiple classes may be used as a method of providing credit
support. This is accomplished typically through creation of one or more classes
whose right to payments on the Asset-Backed Security is made subordinate to the
right to such payments of the remaining class or classes. Second, multiple
classes may permit the issuance of securities with payment terms, interest rates
or other characteristics differing both from those of each other and from those
of the underlying assets. Examples include so-called "multi-tranche CMOs"
(collateralized mortgage obligations) with serial maturities such that all
principal payments received on the mortgages underlying the securities are first
paid to the class with the earliest stated maturity, and then sequentially to
the class with the next stated maturity), "Strips" (Asset-Backed Securities
entitling the holder to disproportionate interests with respect to the
allocation of interest and principal of the assets backing the security), and
securities with a class or classes having characteristics which mimic the
characteristics of non-Asset-Backed Securities, such as floating interest rates
(i.e., interest rates which adjust as a specified benchmark changes) or
scheduled amortization of principal.
TYPES OF CREDIT SUPPORT
Asset-Backed Securities are often backed by a pool of assets
representing the obligations of a number of different parties. To lessen the
effect of failures by obligors on these underlying assets to make payments, such
securities may contain elements of credit support. Such credit support falls
into two classes: liquidity protection and protection against ultimate default
on the underlying assets. Liquidity protection refers to the provision of
advances, generally by the entity administering the pool of assets, to ensure
that scheduled payments on the underlying pool are made in a timely fashion.
Protection against ultimate default ensures payment on at least a portion of the
assets in the pool. Such protection may be provided through guarantees,
insurance policies or letters of credit obtained from third parties, through
various means of structuring the transaction, or through a combination of such
approaches. Examples of Asset-Backed Securities with credit support arising out
of the structure of the transaction include "senior-subordinated
20
<PAGE> 45
securities" (multiple class Asset-Backed Securities with certain classes
subordinate to other classes as to the payment of principal thereon, with the
result that defaults on the underlying assets are borne first by the holders of
the subordinated class) and Asset- Backed Securities that have "reserve funds"
(where cash or investments, sometimes funded from a portion of the initial
payments on the underlying assets, are held in reserve against future losses) or
that have been "overcollateralized" (where the scheduled payments on, or the
principal amount of, the underlying assets substantially exceed that required to
make payment on the Asset- Backed Securities and pay any servicing or other
fees). The degree of credit support provided on each issue is based generally
on historical information respecting the level of credit risk associated with
such payments. Delinquency or loss in excess of that anticipated could
adversely affect the return on an investment in an Asset-Backed Security.
CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLE SECURITIES
The Asset Director Funds may invest in Asset-Backed Securities backed
by receivables from revolving credit card agreements ("Credit Card Receivable
Securities"). Most of the Credit Card Receivable Securities issued publicly to
date have been Pass-Through Certificates. In order to lengthen the maturity of
Credit Card Receivable Securities, most such securities provide for a fixed
period during which only interest payments on the underlying Accounts are passed
through to the security holder and principal payments received on such Accounts
are used to fund the transfer to the pool of assets supporting the related
Credit Card Receivable Securities of additional credit card charges made on an
Account. The initial fixed period usually may be shortened upon the occurrence
of specified events that signal a potential deterioration in the quality of the
assets backing the security, such as the imposition of a cap on interest rates.
The ability of the issuer to extend the life of an issue of Credit Card
Receivable Securities thus depends upon the continued generation of additional
principal amounts in the underlying accounts during the initial period and the
non-occurrence of specified events. Competitive and general economic factors
could adversely affect the rate at which new receivables are created in an
Account and conveyed to an issuer, shortening the expected weighted average life
of the related Credit Card Receivable Security, and reducing its yield. An
acceleration in cardholders' payment rates or any other event that shortens the
period during which additional credit card charges on an Account may be
transferred to the pool of assets supporting the related Credit Card Receivable
Security could have a similar effect on the weighted average life and yield.
Credit card holders are entitled to the protection of a number of state
and federal consumer credit laws, many of which give such holders the right to
set off certain amounts against balances owed on the credit card, thereby
reducing amounts paid on Accounts. In addition, unlike most other Asset-Backed
Securities,
21
<PAGE> 46
Accounts are unsecured obligations of the cardholder.
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT AND BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES
The Funds may invest in certificates of deposit which are certificates
issued against funds deposited in a banking institution for a specified period
of time at a specified interest rate. Bankers' acceptances are credit
instruments evidencing a bank's obligation to pay a draft drawn on it by a
customer. These instruments reflect the obligation both of the bank and of the
drawer to pay the full amount of the instrument upon maturity. Each Fund will
only invest in certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances of banks having
capital, surplus and undivided profits in excess of $100 million.
COMMERCIAL PAPER
The Funds may invest in Commercial paper which consists of short-term,
unsecured promissory notes issued to finance short- term credit needs. The
Funds will only invest in commercial paper that at the time of purchase is rated
Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's, A-1 or A-2 by S&P, "Duff 2" or higher by Duff &
Phelps, Inc. ("Duff"), or "F2" or higher by Fitch Investors Services, Inc.
("Fitch") or if unrated by Moody's, S&P, Duff, or Fitch, is determined by the
Investment Manager, using guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees, to be at
least equal in quality to one or more of the above ratings.
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES
Securities which are acquired by the International Index Fund and the
Asset Director Funds outside the U.S. and which are publicly traded in the U.S.
or on a foreign securities exchange or in a foreign securities market are not
considered by the Funds to be illiquid assets so long as the Funds acquire and
hold the securities with the intention of reselling the securities in the
foreign trading market, the Funds reasonably believe they can readily dispose of
the securities in the foreign trading market, the Funds reasonably believe they
can readily dispose of the securities for cash in the U.S., or foreign market
and current market quotations are readily available. Investments may be in
securities of foreign issuers, whether located in developed or undeveloped
countries. Investments in foreign securities where delivery takes place outside
the U.S. will have to be made in compliance with any applicable U.S. and foreign
currency restrictions and tax laws (including laws imposing withholding taxes on
any dividend or interest income) and laws limiting the amount and types of
foreign investments. Changes of government administrations or of economic or
monetary policies, in the U.S. or abroad, or changed circumstances
convertibility or exchange rates could result in investment losses for the
Funds. Investments in foreign securities may also subject the Funds to losses
due to nationalization, expropriation or differing accounting practices and
treatments. Moreover, investors should recognize that foreign
22
<PAGE> 47
securities are often traded with less frequency and volume, and therefore may
have greater price volatility, than is the case with many U.S. securities.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Funds generally intend to acquire the
securities of foreign issuers where there are public trading markets,
investments by the Funds in the securities of foreign issuers may tend to
increase the risks with respect to the liquidity of the Funds' portfolio and the
Funds' ability to meet a large number of shareholder redemption requests should
there be economic or political turmoil in a country in which the Funds have a
substantial portion of their assets invested or should relations between the
U.S. and foreign countries deteriorate markedly. Furthermore, the reporting and
disclosure requirements applicable to foreign issuers may differ from those
applicable to domestic issuers, and there may be difficulties in obtaining or
enforcing judgments against foreign issuers.
Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Funds may loan securities to
qualified broker-dealers or other institutional investors provided that such
loans do not exceed one-third of the value of the Funds' total assets at the
time of the most recent loan, and that the borrower deposits and maintains with
the Funds cash collateral or U.S. government securities with a value equal to
102% of the value of the securities loaned. The lending of securities is a
common practice in the securities industry. The Funds will engage in security
lending arrangements with the primary objective of increasing the Funds' income
through investment of the cash collateral in short-term, interest-bearing
obligations, but will do so only to the extent that the Funds will not lose the
tax treatment available to regulated investment companies. The Funds will be
entitled to all dividends or interest on any loaned securities.
Repurchase Transactions. Repurchase agreements are instruments under
which a buyer acquires ownership of a security from a seller that agrees to
repurchase the security at a mutually agreed upon time and price (which price is
higher than the purchase price), thereby determining the yield during the
buyer's holding period. Under the 1940 Act, a repurchase agreement is deemed to
be the loan of money by a Fund to the seller, collateralized by the underlying
security. The interest rate is effective for the period of time in which the
Funds are invested in the agreement and is not related to the coupon rate on the
underlying security. Any repurchase agreements entered into by a Fund will
involve the Fund as the buyer and banks or broker-dealers as sellers (repurchase
agreements with broker-dealers will be limited to obligations of the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities). The period of these repurchase
agreements will usually be short, from overnight to one week, and at no time
will the Funds invest in repurchase agreements for more than one year. However,
the securities which are subject to repurchase agreements may have maturity
dates in excess of one year from the effective date of the repurchase
agreements. The transaction requires the initial collateralization of the
seller's obligation with securities having a market value, including accrued
interest, equal to at
23
<PAGE> 48
least 102% of the dollar amount invested by the Funds, with the value
marked-to-market daily to maintain 100% coverage. A default by the seller might
cause the Funds to experience a loss or delay in the liquidation of the
collateral securing the repurchase agreement. The Funds might also incur
disposition costs in liquidating the collateral. The Funds will make payment
for such securities only upon physical delivery or evidence of book entry
transfer to the account of its custodian bank. The Funds may not enter into a
repurchase agreement of more than seven days duration if, as a result, the
market value of the Funds' net assets, together with investments in other
securities deemed to be not readily marketable, would be invested in excess of
the Funds' policy on investments in illiquid securities.
In the event of a bankruptcy or other default of a repurchase
agreement's seller, a Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and
could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the underlying
securities and loss of income. Each Fund will not invest more than 10% of its
total assets at the time of purchase in repurchase agreements maturing in more
than seven days and other illiquid securities.
Illiquid Securities. Each Fund reserves the right to invest up to 10%
of its net assets in illiquid securities. Generally an "illiquid security" is
any security that cannot be disposed of promptly and in the ordinary course of
business at approximately the amount at which the Funds have valued the
instrument. Subject to this limitation, the Funds may invest in restricted
securities where such investment is consistent with the Funds' investment
objectives and such securities may be considered to be liquid to the extent the
Funds' Investment Manager determines that there is a liquid institutional or
other market for such securities. In determining whether a restricted security
is properly considered a liquid security, the Funds' Investment Manager, under
the direction of the Board of Trustees, will take into account the following
factors: (i) the frequency of trades and quotes for the security; (ii) the
number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the security and the number of
potential purchasers; (iii) dealer undertakings to make a market in the
security; and (iv) the nature of the security and the nature of the marketplace
trades (e.g., the time needed to dispose of the security, the method of
soliciting offers, and the mechanics of transfer). To the extent the Funds
invest in restricted securities that are deemed liquid, the general level of
illiquidity in the Funds' portfolio may be increased if qualified institutional
buyers become uninterested in purchasing these securities contracts. The Funds
will limit their investments in liquid restricted securities to 5% of their net
assets.
24
<PAGE> 49
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
Except as otherwise noted, the restrictions below are fundamental and
cannot be changed without approval of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act). Each of the Funds
may not:
1) As to 75% of its assets, purchase securities of any issuer
(other than obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 5% of the value of its
total assets would be invested in the securities of such issuer.
2) Purchase securities (other than securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result of
such purchase, 25% or more of the value of its total assets would be invested in
any industry (except that the International Index Fund and the Small-Cap Index
Funds may purchase securities under such circumstances only to the extent that
the Schwab International Index(TM) or the Schwab Small-Cap Index(TM) is also so
concentrated).
3) Invest more than 10% of the total value of its assets in
illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements with maturities in excess
of seven days.
4) Purchase or retain securities of an issuer if any of the
officers, trustees or directors of the Trust, or the Investment Manager
individually own beneficially more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities of such
issuer and together beneficially own more than 5% of the securities of such
issuer.
5) Purchase or sell commodities or real estate, including
interests in real estate limited partnerships, provided that each Fund may (i)
purchase securities of companies that deal in real estate or interests therein,
(ii) purchase or sell futures contracts, options contracts, equity index
participations and index participation contracts, and (iii) for the Asset
Director Funds, purchase securities of companies that deal in precious metals or
interests therein.
6) Invest for the purpose of exercising control or management of
another issuer.
7) Purchase securities of other investment companies, except as
permitted by the 1940 Act, including any exemptive relief granted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
8) Lend money to any person, except that each Fund may (i)
purchase a portion of an issue of short-term debt securities or similar
obligations (including repurchase
25
<PAGE> 50
agreements) that are publicly distributed or customarily purchased by
institutional investors, and (ii) lend its portfolio securities.
9) Borrow money except from banks as a temporary measure to
satisfy redemption requests or for extraordinary or emergency purposes and then
only in an amount not to exceed one-third of the value of its total assets
(including the amount borrowed), provided that each Fund will not purchase
securities while borrowings represent more than 5% of its total assets.
10) Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate any of its assets except that,
to secure allowable borrowings, each Fund may do so with respect to no more than
one-third of the value of its total assets.
11) Underwrite securities issued by others except to the extent it
may be deemed to be an underwriter, under the federal securities laws, in
connection with the disposition of securities from its investment portfolio.
In order to permit the sale of shares of each Fund in certain
jurisdictions, each Fund may make commitments more restrictive than the
fundamental operating restrictions described above. Should it do so and later
determine that any such commitment is no longer in the best interests of the
Fund and its shareholders, it will revoke the commitment(s) by terminating sales
of its shares in the jurisdiction(s) involved.
The following restrictions are non-fundamental and may be changed by
the Trust's Board of Trustees. Each of the Funds may not:
1) Purchase more than 10% of any class of securities of any issuer
if, as a result of such purchase, it would own more than 10% of such issuer's
outstanding voting securities.
2) Invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities of
issuers (other than obligations of, or guaranteed by the United States
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities) that with their predecessors have
a record of less than three years continuous operation.
3) Invest more than 5% of its net assets in warrants, valued at
the lower of cost or market, and no more than 40% of this 5% may be invested in
warrants that are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the American
Stock Exchange, provided, however, that for purposes of this restriction,
warrants acquired by a Fund in units or attached to other securities are deemed
to be without value.
4) Purchase puts, calls, straddles, spreads or any combination
thereof if by reason of such purchase the value of its aggregate investment in
such securities would exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets.
26
<PAGE> 51
5) Make short sales, except for short sales against the box.
6) Purchase or sell interests in oil, gas or other mineral
development programs or leases, although it may invest in companies that own or
invest in such interests or leases.
7) Purchase securities on margin, except such short-term credits
as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities.

--------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to exemptive relief received by the Trust from the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the Trust may enter into deferred fee arrangements (the
"Fee Deferral Plan" or the "Plan") with the Trust's trustees who are not
"interested persons" of any of the Funds of the Trust (the "Independent
Trustees" or the "Trustees").
As of the date of this Statement of Additional Information, none of the
Independent Trustees has elected to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan. In the
event an Independent Trustee does elect to participate in the Plan, the Plan
would operate as described below.
31
<PAGE> 56
Under the Plan, deferred Trustee's fees will be credited to a book
reserve account established by the Trust (the "Deferred Fee Account"), as of the
date such fees would have been paid to such Trustee. The value of the Deferred
Fee Account as of any date will be equal to the value the Account would have had
as of that date if the amounts credited to the Account had been invested and
reinvested in the securities of the SchwabFund(R) or SchwabFunds selected by the
participating Trustee (the "Selected SchwabFund Securities"). SchwabFunds
include the series or classes of beneficial interest of the Trust, The Charles
Schwab Family of Funds, and Schwab Investments.
Pursuant to the exemptive relief granted to the Trust, each Fund will
purchase and maintain the Selected SchwabFund Securities in an amount equal to
the deemed investments in that Fund of the Deferred Fee Accounts of the
Independent Trustees. The exemptive relief granted to the Trust permits the
Funds and the Trustees to purchase the Selected SchwabFund Securities, which
transactions would otherwise be limited or prohibited by the investment policies
and/or restrictions of the Funds. See "Investment Restrictions."
INVESTMENT MANAGER
The Investment Manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab
Corporation, serves as the Funds' investment adviser and administrator pursuant
to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement (the "Advisory
Agreement") between it and the Trust. The Investment Manager is registered as
an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and
currently provides investment management services to the SchwabFunds(R), a
family of 18 mutual funds with approximately $29 billion in assets as of July
31, 1995. The Investment Manager is an affiliate of Schwab, the Trust's
distributor and shareholder services and transfer agent. The Advisory Agreement
will continue in effect until July 21, 1996 with respect to the Schwab
International Index Fund, October 14, 1996 with respect to the Schwab Small-Cap
Index Fund, September 25, 1997 with respect to the Asset Director Funds, and
thereafter will continue for one year terms subject to annual approval by: (1)
the Trust's Board of Trustees or (2) a vote of a majority (as defined in the
1940 Act) of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund. In either event, the
continuance must also be approved by a majority of the Trust's Board of Trustees
who are not parties to the Agreement or interested persons (as defined in the
1940 Act) of any such party by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on such approval. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated at
any time upon 60 days notice by either party, or by a majority vote of the
outstanding shares of a Fund, and will terminate automatically upon assignment.
International Index Fund. For its advisory and administrative services
to the International Index Fund, the Investment Manager is entitled to receive a
graduated annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net
32
<PAGE> 57
assets not in excess of $300 million, and 0.60% of such assets over $300
million.
The Investment Manager and Schwab have guaranteed that, through at
least June 30, 1996, the total fund operating expenses for the International
Index Fund will not exceed 0.69% of that Fund's average daily net assets.
For the fiscal period from September 9, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 1993, no investment advisory fees were paid by the
International Index Fund (fees were reduced by $97,986). For the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1994, the International Index Fund paid investment advisory
fees of $474,0000 (fees were reduced by $388,000).
Small-Cap Index Fund. For its advisory and administrative services to
the Small-Cap Index Fund, the Investment Manager is entitled to receive a
graduated annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net
assets not in excess of $300 million, and 0.45% of such assets over $300
million.
The Investment Manager and Schwab have guaranteed that, through June
30, 1996, the total fund operating expenses for the Small-Cap Index Fund will
not exceed 0.59% of that Fund's average daily net assets.
For the fiscal period from December 3, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 1994, the Small-Cap Index Fund paid investment
advisory fees of $151,861 (fees were reduced by $106,533).
Asset Director Funds. For its advisory and administrative services to
the Asset Director Funds, the Investment Manager is entitled to receive a
graduated annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.74% of each Fund's average daily net
assets not in excess of $1 billion, and 0.69% of the next $1 billion; and 0.64%
of such net assets over $2 billion.
The Investment Manager and Schwab have guaranteed that, through at
least December 31, 1996, the total fund operating expenses for the International
Index Fund will not exceed 0.89% of each Fund's average daily net assets.
Additional Information. The Advisory Agreement provides that the fees
to be paid to the Investment Manager will be less than the amount that would
cause the aggregate operating expenses of a Fund (excluding interest, taxes, net
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) in any year to exceed the most
stringent limits prescribed by any state in which shares of a Fund are offered
for sale. The most stringent current limit for such expenses is 2.5% of a
fund's first $30 million of average net assets, 2.0% of a fund's next $70
million of average net assets and 1.5% of a fund's average net assets in excess
of $100 million.
From time to time, each Fund may compare its total operating expense
ratio to the total operating expense ratio of other mutual funds or mutual fund
averages with similar investment objectives as reported by Lipper Analytical
Service, Inc., Morningstar, Inc. or other independent sources of such
information ("independent sources").

<PAGE> 58
SUB-ADVISER
The Investment Manager has entered into an investment sub-advisory
agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") with respect to the Asset Director
Funds with Symphony Asset Management, Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser"), pursuant to
which it will act as the Funds' sub- adviser. The Sub-Adviser is registered as
an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and currently
manages directly and indirectly approximately $700 million in institutional and
private account assets.
The Sub-Adviser furnishes investment advice through direct assistance
to the Investment Manager in the development and execution of quantitatively
based investment strategies. The Sub-Adviser uses a sophisticated optimization
technique known as "Tactical Asset Allocation" in evaluating the optimal
allocation of the Asset Director Funds' assets among asset categories: stocks,
bonds, and cash.
Tactical Asset Allocation is a value-oriented strategy which seeks the
highest reward for a given level of risk. Expected returns are measured for
each asset category; for stocks, the internal rate of return is measured on
forecasted dividend stream; for bonds, the yield to maturity is evaluated on
representative long corporate bonds; and for cash-equivalents, yield to maturity
is evaluated on representative money market instruments. Risks and correlations
of the asset categories are measured from long-term return histories.
The Investment Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual investment
sub-advisory fee, payable monthly, of 0.08% of the first $100 million of each of
the Asset Director Fund's average daily net assets, 0.06% of a Fund s next $150
million of average daily net assets, 0.04% of a Fund s next $600 million of
average daily net assets, and 0.02% of such assets over $850 million.
As of May 1, 1995 and June 30, 1995, Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc.
("Dimensional") no longer served as the sub-adviser to the Schwab Small-Cap
Index Fund and the Schwab International Index Fund, respectively. As of the
same dates, the Investment Manager became responsible for providing all
investment advisory services to the Funds.
Expenses. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement between Dimensional and the
Investment Manager, the Investment Manager paid Dimensional the following
amounts for the fiscal periods indicated below.
International Index Fund: $20,999 and $185,000 for the fiscal period from
September 9, 1993 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1993 and for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, respectively.
Small-Cap Index Fund: $51,419 for the fiscal period from December 3, 1993
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1994.

Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, Schwab is the principal
underwriter for shares of the Trust and is the Trust's agent for the purpose of
the continuous offering of the Funds' shares. Each Fund pays the cost for the
prospectuses and shareholder reports to be prepared and delivered to existing
shareholders. Schwab pays such costs when the described materials are used in
connection with the offering of shares to prospective investors and for
supplementary sales literature and advertising. Schwab receives no fee under
the Distribution Agreement. Terms of continuation, termination and assignment
under the Distribution Agreement are identical to those described above with
respect to the Advisory Agreement.

PORTTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND TURNOVER
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
In effecting securities transactions for the Funds, the Investment
Manager seeks to obtain best price and execution. Subject to the supervision of
the Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager will generally select brokers and
dealers for the Funds primarily on the basis of the quality and reliability of
brokerage services, including execution capability and financial responsibility.
In assessing these criteria, the Investment Manager will, among other things,
monitor the performance of brokers effecting transactions for the Funds to
determine the effect, if any, the Funds' transactions through those brokers have
on the market prices of the stocks involved. This may be of particular
importance for the Funds' investments in relatively smaller companies whose
stocks are not as actively traded as those of their larger counterparts. The
Funds will seek to buy and sell securities in a manner that causes the least
possible fluctuation in the prices of those stocks in view of the size of the
transactions.
In an attempt to obtain best execution for the Funds, the Investment
Manager may also place orders directly with market makers or with third market
brokers, Instinet or brokers on an agency basis. Placing orders with third
market brokers or through Instinet may enable the Funds to trade directly with
other institutional holders on a net basis. At times, this may allow the Funds
to trade larger blocks than would be possible trading through a single market
maker.
When the execution and price offered by two or more broker-dealers are
comparable, the Investment Manager may, in its discretion, in agency
transactions (and not principal transactions) utilize the services of
broker-dealers that provide it with investment information and other research
resources. Such resources may also be used by the Investment Manager when
providing advisory services to other investment advisory clients, including
mutual funds.
In determining when and to what extent to use Schwab as its broker for
executing orders for the Funds on securities exchanges, the Investment Manager
will consider (if relevant) whether the compensation to be paid Schwab will be
(i) fair and reasonable, (ii) at least as favorable to the Funds as commissions
that would be charged by other qualified brokers having comparable execution
capabilities, and (iii) at least as favorable as commissions contemporaneously
charged by Schwab on comparable transactions for its most favored unaffiliated
customers. The Funds do not consider it practicable or in the best interests of
their shareholders to solicit competitive bids for commission rates on each
transaction. However, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the
trustees who are not "interested persons" of Schwab within the meaning of
36
<PAGE> 61
the 1940 Act, (i) has prescribed procedures designed to provide that the Funds
do not pay commissions that do not meet the standards described above, (ii)
reviews those procedures annually to determine whether they remain adequate, and
(iii) considers quarterly whether or not the commissions charged by Schwab have
met the standards.
Schwab's brokerage services to the Funds are also subject to Rule
11a2-2(T) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Rule 11a2-2(T)
permits the Funds to use Schwab as a broker provided certain conditions are met.
Among these requirements are that the floor brokerage element of portfolio
transactions (that is, execution on the exchange floor or through use of
exchange facilities) be performed by members of the exchange not associated with
Schwab, that the orders to such members be transmitted from off the exchange
floor and that neither Schwab nor an associated person of Schwab participates in
the execution of the transaction after the order has been so transmitted. In
connection with transactions in which Schwab acts as broker for the Funds,
Schwab, while not permitted to perform floor brokerage (which is undertaken by
members selected by Schwab who are not associated with that firm), still
continues to bear principal responsibility for determining important elements of
overall execution such as timing and order size, and also clears and settles
such transactions. Schwab pays the fees charged by those persons performing the
described floor brokerage elements. Schwab will not trade directly with the
Funds in any transactions in which Schwab or an affiliate acts as principal.
Brokerage Commissions. For the fiscal period from December 3, 1993
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1994, the Small-Cap Index Fund paid
brokerage commissions of $165,997. For the fiscal period from September 9, 1993
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1993 and for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1994, the International Index Fund paid brokerage commissions of
$170,195 and $86,127, respectively.
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
For reporting purposes, each Fund's turnover rate is calculated by
dividing the value of purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the fiscal
year, whichever is less, by the monthly average value of portfolio securities
owned by the Fund during the fiscal year. When making the calculation, all
securities whose maturities at the time of acquisition were one year or less
("short-term securities") are excluded.
A 100% portfolio turnover rate would occur, for example, if all
portfolio securities (aside from short-term securities) were sold and either
repurchased or replaced once during the fiscal year. The Funds expect that their
portfolio turnover rate will not exceed 100% in any given year, a turnover rate
lower than that of most non-index mutual funds. In the case of the Asset
Director Funds, this 100% portfolio turnover rate applies to the Funds' stock
and bond categories separately. A high portfolio
37
<PAGE> 62
turnover rate may increase a Fund's transaction costs. The International Index
Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal period from September 9, 1993
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1993 and for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1994 was 2% and 6%, respectively. The Small-Cap Index Fund's
portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal period from December 3, 1993
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1994 was 16%.
From time to time, each Fund may compare its portfolio turnover rate
with that of other mutual funds as reported by independent sources.
38
<PAGE> 63
TAXES
It is the policy of each Fund to qualify for taxation as a "regulated
investment company" by meeting the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code. By
following this policy, each Fund expects to eliminate or reduce to a nominal
amount the federal income tax to which it is subject.
In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, each of the
Funds must, among other things, (1) derive at least 90% of its gross income from
dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans and gains from
the sale or other disposition of stocks, securities, foreign currencies or other
income (including gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived with
respect to its business of investing in stocks, securities or currencies; (2)
derive less than 30% of its gross income from gains from the sale or other
disposition of certain assets (including stocks and securities) held for less
than three months; and (3) diversify its holdings so that at the end of each
quarter of its taxable year (i) at least 50% of the market value of the Fund's
total assets is represented by cash or cash items, United States Government
securities, securities of other regulated investment companies and other
securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to a value not greater than 5%
of the value of the Fund's total assets and 10% of the outstanding voting
securities of such issuer, and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of its assets
is invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than United States
Government securities or securities of any other regulated investment company)
or of two or more issuers that the Fund controls, within the meaning of the
Code, and that are engaged in the same, similar or related trades or businesses.
These requirements may restrict the degree to which a Fund may engage in
short-term trading and certain hedging transactions and may limit the range of a
Fund's investments. If a Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company, it
will not be subject to federal income tax on the part of its net investment
income and net realized capital gains, if any, which it distributes to
shareholders, provided that the Fund meets certain minimum distribution
requirements. To comply with these requirements, a Fund must distribute at least
(a) 90% of its "investment company taxable income" (as that term is defined in
the Code) and (b) 90% of the excess of its (i) tax-exempt interest income over
(ii) certain deductions attributable to that income (with certain exceptions),
for its taxable year. Each Fund intends to make sufficient distributions to
shareholders to meet these requirements.
The Code imposes a non-deductible excise tax on regulated investment
companies that do not distribute in a calendar year (regardless of whether they
otherwise have a non-calendar taxable year) an amount equal to 98% of their
"ordinary income" (as defined in the Code) for the calendar year plus 98% of
their capital gain net income for the one year period ending on October 31 of
such calendar year. The balance of such income must be distributed during the
39
<PAGE> 64
next calendar year. For the foregoing purposes, a Fund is treated as having
distributed any amount on which it is subject to income tax for any taxable year
ending in such calendar year. If the distributions during a calendar year were
less than the required amount, the Fund is subject to a non-deductible excise
tax equal to 4% of the deficiency.
A Fund's transactions in futures contracts, forward contracts, foreign
currency transactions, options, and certain other investment and hedging
activities is subject to special tax rules. In a given case, these rules may
accelerate income to a Fund, defer its losses, cause adjustments in the holding
periods of the Fund's assets, convert short-term capital losses into long-term
capital losses or otherwise affect the character of the Fund's income. These
rules could therefore affect the amount, timing and character of distributions
to shareholders. The Funds will endeavor to make any available elections
pertaining to these transactions in a manner believed to be in the best interest
of the Funds and their shareholders.
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
Any dividends declared by the Funds in October, November or December to
shareholders of record during those months and paid during the following January
are treated, for tax purposes, as if they were received by each shareholder on
December 31 of the year declared.
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and
distributions from the Funds' net short-term capital gains in excess of any net
long-term capital losses, whether received in cash or reinvested, generally will
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. For corporate investors in the
Funds, dividend distributions designated by the Funds to be from dividends
received from qualifying domestic corporations will be eligible for the 70%
corporate dividends-received deduction to the extent they would qualify if the
Funds were regular corporations. Distributions received from the Funds
designated as long-term capital gains (net of capital losses), whether received
in cash or reinvested, will be taxable as long-term capital gains without regard
to the length of time a shareholder owned shares in the Funds. However, if a
shareholder receives a long-term capital gain distribution with respect to
Funds' shares held for six months or less, any loss on the sale or exchange of
those shares shall, to the extent of the long-term capital gain distribution, be
treated as a long-term capital loss. If a shareholder is not subject to income
tax, generally the shareholder will not be taxed on amounts distributed by the
Funds.
A Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold and remit to the
United States Treasury 31% of taxable dividends paid to any shareholder (1) who
fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number certified under
penalty of perjury; (2) who is subject to withholding by the Internal Revenue
Service for failure to properly report all payments of interest or dividends; or
(3) who fails to provide a certified statement that he or she is not subject to
"backup withholding." This "backup withholding" is not an additional
40
<PAGE> 65
tax and any amounts withheld may be credited against the shareholder's ultimate
U.S. tax liability.
The foregoing discussion relates only to federal income tax law as
applicable to U.S. citizens or residents. Foreign shareholders (i.e.,
nonresident alien individuals and foreign corporations, partnerships, trusts and
estates) generally are subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or a
lower tax treaty rate) on distributions derived from net investment income and
short-term capital gains. Distributions to foreign shareholders of long-term
capital gains and any gains from the sale or other disposition of shares of the
Funds generally are not subject to U.S. taxation, unless the recipient is an
individual who meets the Code's definition of "resident alien." Different tax
consequences may result if the foreign shareholder is engaged in a trade or
business within the United States. In addition, the tax consequences to a
foreign shareholder entitled to claim the benefits of a tax treaty may be
different than those described above. Distributions by a Fund may also be
subject to state, local and foreign taxes, and its treatment under applicable
tax laws may differ from the federal income tax treatment.
Although the International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds will
attempt not to invest in any non-U.S. corporation which could be treated as a
passive Foreign investment company ("PFIC"), or become a PFIC, under the Code,
it might inadvertently do so. This could result in adverse tax consequences upon
the disposition of, or the receipt of "excess distributions" with respect to,
such equity investments. To the extent the International Index Fund and the
Asset Director Funds do invest in PFIC, they may adopt certain tax strategies to
reduce or eliminate the adverse effects of certain federal tax provisions
governing PFIC investments. Many non-U.S. banks and insurance companies may not
be treated as PFICs if they satisfy certain technical requirements under the
Code. To the extent that the International Index Fund and the Asset Director
Funds do invest in foreign securities which are determined to be PFIC securities
and are required to pay a tax on such investments, a credit for this tax would
not be allowed to be passed through to the International Index Fund's and the
Asset Director Funds' shareholders. Therefore, the payment of this tax would
reduce the International Index Fund's and the Asset Director Funds' economic
return from their PFIC shares and excess distributions received with respect to
such shares are treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains.
This discussion of federal income taxation presented above only
summarizes some of the important federal tax considerations generally affecting
purchasers of Fund shares. No attempt has been made to present a detailed
explanation of the federal income tax treatment of a Fund and its shareholders,
and the discussion is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
Accordingly, prospective investors (particularly those not residing or domiciled
in the United States) should consult their own tax advisers regarding the
consequences of investing in a Fund.

SHARE PRICE CALCULATION
Each Fund's net asset value per share is determined each day the New
York Stock Exchange is open for trading as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. The net
asset value of the International Index Fund is expressed in U.S. dollars by
translating the Fund's assets using the bid price for the U.S. dollar as quoted
by generally recognized, reliable sources. Currently, the New York Stock
Exchange is closed on the following holidays: New Year's Day (observed),
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The Funds value their portfolio securities
based on their market value. Each security held by the Funds which is listed on
a securities exchange and for which market quotations are available is 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. Price
information on each listed security is taken from the exchange where the
security is primarily traded. Unlisted securities for which market quotations
are readily available are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and
asked prices. The value of other assets for which no quotations are readily
available (including any restricted securities) are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by the Investment Manager pursuant to Board of Trustees
guidelines. Securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by pricing
services when such prices are believed to reflect fair market value.

HOW THE FUNDS REFLECT PERFORMANCE
STANDARDIZED TOTAL RETURN
Average annual total return for a period is determined by calculating
the actual dollar amount of investment return on a $1,000 investment in the Fund
made at the beginning of the period, then calculating the average annual
compounded rate of return that would produce the same investment return on the
$1,000 over the same period. In computing average annual total return, the Fund
assumes the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value on applicable
reinvestment dates. For the fiscal period from September 9, 1993 (commencement
of operations) to October 31, 1993 and for the fiscal year ended October 31,
1994, the International Index Fund's total return was 1.5% and 7.9%,
respectively. For the fiscal period from December 3, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 1994, the Small-Cap Index Fund's total return was
0.63%.
NONSTANDARDIZED TOTAL RETURN
Nonstandardized total return for a Fund differs from standardized total
return in that it relates to periods other than the period for standardized
total return and/or that it represents aggregate (rather than average) total
return.
In addition, an after-tax total return for each Fund may be calculated
by taking that Fund's standardized or non-standardized total return and
subtracting applicable federal taxes from the portions of each Fund's total
return attributable to capital gains distributions and ordinary income. This
after-tax total return may be compared to that of other mutual funds with
similar investment objectives as reported by independent sources.
Each Fund may also report the percentage of that Fund's standardized or
non-standardized total return which would be paid to taxes annually (at the
applicable federal personal income and capital gains tax rates) before
redemption of Fund shares. This proportion may be compared to that of other
mutual funds with similar investment objectives as reported by independent
sources.
YIELD
Yield refers to the net investment income generated by a hypothetical
investment in the Fund over a specific 7-day period. This net investment income
is then annualized, which means that the net investment income generated during
the 7-day period is assumed to be generated in each 7-day period over an annual
period, and is shown as a percentage of the investment.
COMPARING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS WITH OTHER FUNDS AND INDICES
The performance of the Funds may be compared with the performance of
other mutual funds by comparing the ratings of mutual fund rating services,
various indices of investment
43
<PAGE> 68
performance, United States government obligations, bank certificates of deposit,
the consumer price index, and other investments for which reliable data is
available.
The Asset Director Funds may also compare thei histocial performance figures to
the performance of indices similar to their asset categories and sub-categories,
such as those indices names in the Funds' Prospectus under "Market Performance."
THE BENEFITS OF INTERNATIONAL INVESTING
INCREASED DIVERSIFICATION CAN LOWER RISK
To some extent, all U.S.-based investments -- stocks, bonds, mutual
funds and CDs -- are affected by the same economic forces. Tax cuts, interest
rate changes and the performance of the U.S. stock market can all influence U.S.
investments. Adding international (or overseas) investments to a U.S.-based
portfolio has historically reduced the portfolio's overall volatility. Although
U.S. and international markets may be interrelated, they do not move in tandem
- -- so losses in one market can be offset by gains in another.
POTENTIALLY HIGHER OVERALL PERFORMANCE
During the past 10 years ending December 31, 1994, international equity
markets outperformed the U.S. equity market and most other U.S. securities
investments -- corporate bonds, CDs and U.S. Treasuries. The returns produced by
the international markets have also kept investors well ahead of inflation. This
historical performance means that investors diversified overseas earned a higher
level of return.
BROADER GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
Investors who limit their portfolios to U.S. securities are missing
these investment opportunities. Ten years ago, the United States made up more
than half of the world's equity investments. As of December 31, 1993, it
represented just over one-third.
INDEXING AND THE SCHWAB INDEX FUNDS
Because the unmanaged performance of a broad-based equity index has
often proven superior to that of many individually selected stock portfolios, a
growing percentage of assets invested in the equity markets are being placed in
"index" portfolios. Institutional investors often devote a substantial
percentage of their assets to indexed strategies.
An index typically tracks the performance of a group of securities
44
<PAGE> 69
selected to represent a particular market, and is most often used to gauge that
market's performance. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA") and Standard &
Poor's 500 Index(R) ("S&P 500") are two indices designed to measure the
performance of United States stocks. When investment managers invest indexed
separate accounts or index fund assets, they attempt to replicate the
performance of the applicable target index by holding all or a representative
sample of the securities included in the index.
The Funds performance data assume the reinvestment of dividends, but do
not reflect deductions for administrative and management expenses. The Funds
will be subject to these costs and expenses. In addition, various factors may
cause the Funds' performance to be higher or lower than that of the Index.
THE SCHWAB INTERNATIONAL INDEX(TM)
The Schwab International Index(TM) is a broad-based stock market index
which contains the common stocks of the 350 largest operating companies (i.e.,
non-investment companies) incorporated outside the United States. To reduce
undue risk, the Index represents equities only from countries that are
considered to have developed markets and economies. By tracking the largest
companies in developed markets, the Index represents the performance of the
"blue chips" of international markets. The Index is also designed to provide a
broad representation of the international market, by limiting each country to no
more than 35% of the total market capitalization of the Index. As the stocks
contained in the Index represent about 35% of the total market capitalization of
international companies, the Index provides a reliable measure of market
performance. The Schwab International Index(TM) was first made available to the
public on July 29, 1993.
THE SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX(TM)
To be included in the Schwab Small-Cap Index, a company must satisfy
all of the following criteria: (1) it must be an "operating company" (i.e., not
an investment company) incorporated in the United States, its territories or
possessions; (2) a liquid market for its common shares must exist on the New
York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ/NMS, and (3) its
market value must place it among the second 1000 such companies as measured by
market capitalization (i.e., from the company with a rank of 1001 through the
company with a rank of 2000). Shareholders generally avoid exposure to the
smallest companies, whose shares are often thinly traded and very volatile,
because these stocks are not included in the Index.
A particular stock's weighting in the Schwab Small-Cap Index is based
on its relative total market value (i.e., its market price per share times the
number of shares outstanding), divided by the total market capitalization of the
Schwab Small-Cap Index. The returns produced by the United States stock market
during the 25 years ending December 31, 1990 have been exceeded by those of very
few types of securities investments. Because the unmanaged performance of the
U.S. stock market has often proven superior to that of
45
<PAGE> 70
many individually selected stock portfolios, a growing percentage of assets
invested in the equity markets are being placed in "index" portfolios. From less
than $9 billion in 1980, indexed institutional holdings have grown to over $280
billion, a figure equal to approximately one-quarter of all institutional
assets. (Source: Callan Associates Survey, reported in Fall 1990 edition of The
Journal of Portfolio Management).
Historically a long-term investment in a group of common stocks
representative of the stock market as a whole as well as a group of common
stocks representative of small-cap stocks has significantly exceeded that of
U.S. Treasury Bills, CDs, corporate bonds and inflation.
ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGIES USING SCHWABFUNDS(R)
Shareholders of SchwabFunds may wish to invest in the SchwabFunds as
part of their personal asset allocation plan. An asset allocation program is
available through Schwab. This program may help shareholders select investments,
including investments in SchwabFunds, that match their individual investment
needs. The shareholders' personal investment plan is based on a number of
factors including personal financial situation, time horizon, investment
objectives and goals, and risk tolerance.
ACCESS TO SCHWAB'S MUTUAL FUND ONESOURCE SERVICE(TM)
With Schwab's Mutual Fund OneSource Service(TM) ("OneSource"), a
shareholder can invest in over 200 mutual funds from many fund companies,
subject to the following. If a shareholder makes five or more short-term
redemptions of OneSource mutual funds (other than the SchwabFunds) within any
12-month period, a fee will be charged on all future trades. A short-term
redemption in this context refers to the sale of mutual fund shares held for six
months or less. Some mutual funds available through OneSource may charge fees
permitted under Rule 12b-1 in excess of one quarter of one percent per year.
Schwab reserves the right to modify OneSource's terms and conditions at any
time. For more information, a shareholder should contact their Schwab office
during its regular business hours or 800-2 NO-LOAD, 24 hours a day.
From time to time, the Funds may include discussions in advertisements
of the income tax savings shareholders may experience as a result of their
policy of limiting portfolio trading in order to reduce capital gains. This
information may be supplemented by presentations of statistical data
illustrating the extent of such income tax savings and the impact of such
savings on the yield and/or total return of the Funds. In addition, such
advertisements may include comparisons of the Funds' performance against that of
46
<PAGE> 71
investment products that do not employ the Funds' policy of seeking to limit
capital gains. The Funds are intended to make indexed investing easily available
to Schwab customers with the highest level of convenience and economy thereby
facilitating their ability to participate in the long-term performance of the
United States stock market.

OTHER INFORMATION
From time to time, the International Index Fund and the Small-Cap Index
Fund may compare the historical performance of the Schwab International
Index(TM) and the Schwab Small-Cap Index(TM), respectively, to the historical
performance of various other indices, including the S&P 500, as reported by
independent sources.
Each Fund is managed to offset capital gains with capital losses in
order to minimize that Fund's capital gains tax liability. This special feature
can make a real difference in an investor's after-tax return, especially if the
investor is in a high tax bracket. In addition, each Fund has adopted a number
of policies that should cause its portfolio turnover rate to be below the
portfolio turnover rate of many other mutual funds. A lower portfolio turnover
rate acts to minimize associated transaction costs as well as the level of
realized capital gains. By avoiding, where possible, the distribution of capital
gains to shareholders, the Funds help to build the value of a shareholders
shares and defer payment of capital gains taxes until shares are redeemed. A
shareholder's current tax liability for capital gains should be reduced and the
shareholder's total return increased by these policies.
Each Fund may, from time to time, refer to recent studies that analyze
certain techniques and strategies which either Fund may use. In addition, each
Fund may, from time to time, promote the advantages of investing in a series
that is part of a large, diverse mutual fund complex.
From time to time, either Fund may include discussions in
advertisements of the income tax savings shareholders may experience as a result
of that Fund's policy of limiting portfolio trading in order to reduce capital
gains. This information may be supplemented by presentations of statistical data
illustrating the extent of such income tax savings and the impact of such
savings on the yield and/or total return of either Fund. In addition, such
advertisements may include comparisons of each Fund's performance against that
of investment products that do not employ each Fund's policy of seeking to limit
capital gains.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Trust is generally not required to hold shareholder meetings.
However, as provided in its Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Bylaws,
shareholder meetings will be held in connection with the following matters: (1)
election or removal of trustees if a meeting is requested in writing by a
shareholder or shareholders who beneficially own(s) 10% or more of the Trust's
shares; (2) adoption of any contract for which shareholder approval is required
by the 1940 Act; (3) any termination of the Trust to the extent and as provided
in the Declaration of Trust; (4) any amendment of the Declaration of Trust
(other than amendments changing the name of the Trust or any of its investment
portfolios, supplying any omission, curing any ambiguity or curing, correcting
or supplementing any defective or inconsistent provision thereof); (5)
determining whether a court action, proceeding or claim should or should not be
brought or maintained derivatively or as a class action on behalf of the Trust
or the shareholders, to the same extent as the stockholders of a Massachusetts
business corporation; and (6) such additional matters as may be required by
49
<PAGE> 74
law, the Declaration of Trust, the Bylaws or any registration of the Trust with
the SEC or any state or as the Board of Trustees may consider desirable. The
shareholders also would vote upon changes to a Fund's fundamental investment
objective, policies or restrictions.
Each Trustee serves until the next meeting of shareholders, if any,
called for the purpose of electing trustees and until the election and
qualification of his or her successor or until death, resignation, retirement or
removal by a majority vote of the shares entitled to vote (as described below)
or of a majority of the Trustees. In accordance with the 1940 Act (i) the Trust
will hold a shareholder meeting for the election of trustees when less than a
majority of the trustees have been elected by shareholders, and (ii) if, as a
result of a vacancy in the Board of Trustees, less than two-thirds of the
trustees have been elected by the shareholders, that vacancy will be filled by a
vote of the shareholders.
Upon the written request of 10 or more shareholders who have been such
for at least six months and who hold shares constituting at least 1% of the
Trust's outstanding shares stating that they wish to communicate with the other
shareholders for the purpose of obtaining signatures necessary to demand a
meeting to consider removal of one or more trustees, the Trust has undertaken to
disseminate appropriate materials at the expense of the requesting shareholders.
The Bylaws provide that the presence at a shareholder meeting in person
or by proxy of at least 30% of the shares entitled to vote on a matter shall
constitute a quorum, unless otherwise provided by the 1940 Act or other
applicable law. Thus, even if less than a majority of shareholders were
represented, a meeting of the Trust's shareholders could occur. Attending
shareholders would in such case be permitted to take action not requiring the
vote of more than a majority of a quorum. Some matters requiring a larger vote
under the Declaration of Trust, such as termination or reorganization of the
Trust, and certain amendments of the Declaration of Trust, could not be decided
at such a meeting, nor could matters which under the 1940 Act require the vote
of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities," as defined in the 1940
Act. The Declaration of Trust specifically authorizes the Board of Trustees to
terminate the Trust (or any of its investment portfolios) by notice to the
shareholders without shareholder approval.
Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust
could, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the Trust's
obligations. The Declaration of Trust, however, disclaims shareholder liability
for the Trust's acts or obligations and requires that notice of such disclaimer
be given in each agreement, obligation or instrument entered into or executed by
the Trust or the trustees. In addition, the Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of the property of an investment portfolio in which a
shareholder owns or owned shares for all losses and expenses of such shareholder
or former shareholder if he or she is held personally liable for the obligations
of the Trust solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder. Moreover,
the Trust will be covered by insurance which the trustees consider adequate to
cover foreseeable tort claims. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring
financial loss on account of shareholder liability is considered remote, because
it is limited to circumstances in which a disclaimer is
50
<PAGE> 75
inoperative and the Trust itself is unable to meet its obligations.
For further information, please refer to the registration statement and
exhibits for the Trust on file with the SEC in Washington, D.C. and available
upon payment of a copying fee. The statements in the Prospectus and this
Statement of Additional Information concerning the contents of contracts or
other documents, copies of which are filed as exhibits to the registration
statement, are qualified by reference to such contracts or documents.
PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SECURITIES
As of September 25, Charles Schwab and Co., Inc., 101 Montgomer St.,
San Francisco, CA 94104 directly owned 100% of the outstanding shares of each of
the Asset Director Funds.
In addition, as of September 1, 1995, the officers and trustees of the
Trust, as a group, owned less than 1% of the outstanding voting securities of
the Small-Cap Index and International Index Funds.
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Each Fund's minimum initial investment requirement is $1,000 ($500 for
Custodial Accounts, Individual Retirement Accounts and certain other retirement
plans). Subsequent investments of $100 or more may be made. These minimum
investment requirements may be changed at any time and are not applicable to
certain types of investors. The Trust may waive the minimums for purchases by
trustees, directors, officers or employees of the Trust, Schwab, the Investment
Manager, or the Sub-Adviser.
The Trust has made an election with the SEC to pay in cash all
redemptions requested by any shareholder of record limited in amount during any
90-day period to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of its net assets at the beginning
of such period. This election is irrevocable without the SEC's prior approval.
Redemption requests in excess of the stated limits may be paid, in whole or in
part, in investment securities or in cash, as the Trust's Board of Trustees may
deem advisable; however, payment will be made wholly in cash unless the Board of
Trustees believes that economic or market conditions exist that would make such
a practice detrimental to the best interests of the Fund. If redemption proceeds
are paid in investment securities, such securities will be valued as set forth
in the Prospectus of the Fund affected under "Share Price Calculation" and a
redeeming shareholder would normally incur brokerage expenses if he or she
converted the securities to cash.

SCHWAB INTERNATIONAL INDEX FUND(TM)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended October 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
The Schwab International Index Fund (the "Fund") is a series of Schwab Capital
Trust (the "Trust"), an open-end, management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust on May 7, 1993 and registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.
In addition to the Fund, the Trust also offers the Schwab Small-Cap Index
Fund(TM). The assets of each series are segregated and accounted for separately.
The investment objective of the Fund is to attempt to track the price and
dividend performance (total return) of the Schwab International Index(TM), an
index created to represent the performance of common stocks and other equity
securities issued by large, publicly traded companies from countries around the
world with major developed securities markets (excluding the United States and
South Africa).
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Unlisted securities for which 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 in
good faith by the Fund's sub-advisor pursuant to Board of Trustees guidelines.
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, in the
accompanying financial statements, are accounted for on a trade date basis (date
the order to buy or sell is executed). Dividend income and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; interest income is recorded
on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are
determined on an identified cost basis.
Repurchase agreements -- Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or Government agency securities. All collateral is held by the Fund's
custodian and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value at least equals
the repurchase price under the agreement.
Foreign currency translation -- The accounting records of the Fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and all other assets and
liabilities of the Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into
U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on October 31. 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 Fund 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.
Forward 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 Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the Forward is closed,
the 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 Fund
engages in Forwards in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities to minimize the uncertainty of changes in future exchange rates (see
Note 9).
Deferred organization costs -- Costs incurred in connection with the
organization of the Fund, its initial registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and with various states are amortized on a straight-line
basis over a five year period from the Fund's commencement of operations.
Expenses -- Expenses arising in connection with the Fund are charged directly to
the Fund. Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each
series in proportion to their relative net assets.
Federal income taxes -- It is the Fund's policy to meet the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all net investment income and realized net capital
gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is
required. The Fund is considered a separate entity for tax purposes.
At October 31, 1994, (for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes),
net unrealized gain aggregated $9,907,000, of which $13,741,000 related to
appreciated securities and $3,834,000 related to depreciated securities.
3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment advisory and administration agreement -- The Trust has an investment
advisory and administration agreement with Charles Schwab Investment Management,
Inc. (the "Investment Manager"). For advisory services and facilities furnished,
the Fund pays an annual fee, payable monthly, of .70% of the first $300 million
of average daily net assets and .60% of such assets over $300 million. Under
this agreement, the Fund incurred investment advisory and administration fees of
$862,000 during the year ended October 31, 1994, before the Investment Manager
reduced its fee (see Note 5).
Sub-advisory agreement -- The Investment Manager has a sub-advisory agreement
with Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. ("Dimensional") to perform day-to-day
portfolio management for the Fund. Dimensional does not receive compensation
directly from the Fund. However, the Investment Manager pays Dimensional an
annual fee, payable monthly, of .15% of the first $300 million of average daily
net assets and .05% of such assets over $300 million.
Transfer agency and shareholder service agreements -- The Trust has transfer
agency and shareholder service agreements with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
("Schwab"). For services provided under these agreements, Schwab receives an
annual fee, payable monthly, of .05% of average daily net assets for transfer
agency services and .20% of such assets for shareholder services. For the year
ended October 31, 1994, the Fund incurred transfer agency and shareholder
service fees of $308,000, before Schwab reduced its fees (see Note 5).
Officers and trustees -- During the period, certain officers and trustees of the
Trust were also officers or directors of the Investment Manager, Schwab or
Dimensional. During the year ended October 31, 1994, the Trust made no direct
payments to its officers or trustees who were "interested persons" within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund incurred
fees of $50,000 related to the Trust's unaffiliated trustees.

4. BORROWING AGREEMENT
The Trust has an arrangement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the
Fund's custodian, whereby the Fund may borrow up to $10,000,000, on a temporary
basis, to fund redemptions. Amounts borrowed under this arrangement bear
interest at periodically negotiated rates and may be collateralized by the
assets of the Fund. During the year ended October 31, 1994, no borrowings were
made under this arrangement.
5. EXPENSES REDUCED BY THE INVESTMENT MANAGER AND SCHWAB
The Investment Manager and Schwab reduced a portion of their fees in
order to limit the Fund's ratio of operating expenses to average net
assets. During the year ended October 31, 1994, the total of such fees
reduced by the Investment Manager was $388,000 and the total of such
fees reduced by Schwab was $111,000.
6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term obligations,
aggregated $36,420,000 and $7,690,000, respectively, during the year ended
October 31, 1994.
7. EARLY WITHDRAWAL FEES PAID TO THE FUND
The Fund assesses a .75% early withdrawal fee on redemption proceeds
attributable to shares purchased and held less than six months. The early
withdrawal fee is retained by the Fund and is treated as a contribution to
capital. For the year ended October 31, 1994, total early withdrawal fees
retained by the Fund amounted to $129,000.
8. COMPOSITION OF NET ASSETS
At October 31, 1994, net assets consisted of:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Capital paid in $131,687,000
Accumulated undistributed net investment income 1,306,000
Accumulated net realized loss on investments sold
and foreign currency transactions (580,000)
Net unrealized gain on investments 9,907,000
Net unrealized gain on translating assets and liabilities
into the reporting currency 35,000
------------
Total $142,355,000
============
</TABLE>
The Fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2 Determination, Disclosure, and
Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital
Distributions by Investment Companies, which will generally present
undistributed income and realized gains on a tax basis. As a result of adoption,
certain reclassifications to increase undistributed net investment income and
decrease capital paid in by $26,000 have occurred. These reclassifications have
no impact on the net asset value of the Fund.
At October 31, 1994, the Fund's Statement of Net Assets included liabilities of
$896,000 for securities purchased, $280,000 for Fund shares redeemed, $52,000
for investment advisory and administration fee payable and $25,000 for transfer
agency and shareholder service fees payable.

The Investment Manager and Schwab have reduced a portion of their fees and
absorbed certain expenses in order to limit the Fund's ratio of operating
expenses to average net assets. Had these fees and expenses not been reduced and
absorbed, the ratio of expenses to average net assets for the periods ended
October 31, 1994 and 1993, would have been 1.30% and 2.10%*, respectively, and
the ratio of net investment income to average net assets would have been .74%
and .65%*, respectively.

To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Schwab International Index Fund(TM)
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Schwab International Index
Fund (one of the series constituting Schwab Capital Trust, hereafter referred
to as the "Trust") at October 31, 1994, the results of its operations and the
changes in its net assets for each of the periods presented, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Trust's 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 generally accepted
auditing standards which 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 at October 31, 1994 by
correspondence with the custodian and broker, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.

SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX FUND(TM)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period December 3, 1993 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
The Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund (the "Fund") is a series of Schwab Capital Trust
(the "Trust"), an open-end, management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust on May 7, 1993 and registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund commenced operations on December 3,
1993.
In addition to the Fund, the Trust also offers the Schwab International Index
Fund(TM). The assets of each series are segregated and accounted for separately.
The investment objective of the Fund is to attempt to track the price and
dividend performance (total return) of the Schwab Small-Cap Index(TM), an index
created to represent the performance of the second 1,000 largest publicly traded
common stocks issued by United States companies.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Unlisted securities for which 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 in
good faith by the Fund's sub-advisor pursuant to Board of Trustees guidelines.
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, in the
accompanying financial statements, are accounted for on a trade date basis (date
the order to buy or sell is executed). Dividend income and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; interest income is recorded
on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are
determined on an identified cost basis.
Repurchase agreements -- Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or Government agency securities. All collateral is held by the Fund's
custodian and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value at least equals
the repurchase price under the agreement.
Deferred organization costs -- Costs incurred in connection with the
organization of the Fund, its initial registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and with various states are amortized on a straight-line
basis over a five year period from the Fund's commencement of operations.
Expenses -- Expenses arising in connection with the Fund are charged directly to
the Fund. Expenses common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each
series in proportion to their relative net assets.
Federal income taxes -- It is the Fund's policy to meet the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all net investment income and realized net capital
gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is
required. The Fund is considered a separate entity for tax purposes.

At October 31, 1994, (for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes),
net unrealized appreciation aggregated $597,392 of which $7,021,886 related to
appreciated securities and $6,424,494 related to depreciated securities.
3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment advisory and administration agreement -- The Trust has an investment
advisory and administration agreement with Charles Schwab Investment Management,
Inc. (the "Investment Manager"). For advisory services and facilities furnished,
the Fund pays an annual fee, payable monthly, of .50% of the first $300 million
of average daily net assets and .45% of such assets over $300 million. Under
this agreement, the Fund incurred investment advisory and administration fees of
$258,394 during the period from December 3, 1993 (commencement of operations) to
October 31, 1994, before the Investment Manager reduced its fee (see Note 5).
Sub-advisory agreement -- The Investment Manager has a sub-advisory agreement
with Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. ("Dimensional") to perform day-to-day
portfolio management for the Fund. Dimensional does not receive compensation
directly from the Fund. However, the Investment Manager pays Dimensional an
annual fee, payable monthly, of .10% of the first $300 million of average daily
net assets and .05% of such assets over $300 million.
Transfer agency and shareholder service agreements -- The Trust has transfer
agency and shareholder service agreements with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
("Schwab"). For services provided under these agreements, Schwab receives an
annual fee, payable monthly, of .05% of average daily net assets for transfer
agency services and .20% of such assets for shareholder services. For the period
from December 3, 1993 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1994, the Fund
incurred transfer agency and shareholder service fees of $129,197, before Schwab
reduced its fees (see Note 5).
Officers and trustees -- During the period, certain officers and trustees of the
Trust were also officers or directors of the Investment Manager, Schwab or
Dimensional. During the period ended October 31, 1994, the Trust made no direct
payments to its officers or trustees who were "interested persons" within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund incurred
fees of $18,495 related to the Trust's unaffiliated trustees.
4. BORROWING AGREEMENT
The Trust has an arrangement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the
Fund's custodian, whereby the Fund may borrow up to $10,000,000, on a temporary
basis, to fund redemptions. Amounts borrowed under this arrangement bear
interest at periodically negotiated rates and may be collateralized by the
assets of the Fund. During the period December 3, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 1994, no borrowings were made under this arrangement.

5. EXPENSES REDUCED AND ABSORBED BY THE INVESTMENT MANAGER AND SCHWAB
The Investment Manager and Schwab reduced a portion of their fees and absorbed
certain expenses in order to limit the Fund's ratio of operating expenses to
average net assets. For the period from December 3, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 1994, the total of such fees and expenses reduced and
absorbed by the Investment Manager was $153,640 and the total of such fees
reduced by Schwab was $113,836.
6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term obligations,
aggregated $73,792,447 and $8,478,561, respectively, for the period from
December 3, 1993 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1994.
7. EARLY WITHDRAWAL FEES PAID TO THE FUND
The Fund assesses a .50% early withdrawal fee on redemption proceeds
attributable to shares purchased and held less than six months. The early
withdrawal fee is retained by the Fund and is treated as a contribution to
capital. For the period from December 3, 1993 (commencement of operations) to
October 31, 1994, total early withdrawal fees retained by the Fund amounted to
$27,385.

The Investment Manager and Schwab have reduced a portion of their fees and
absorbed certain expenses in order to limit the Fund's ratio of operating
expenses to average net assets. Had these fees and expenses not been reduced and
absorbed, the ratio of expenses to average net assets for the period ended
October 31, 1994, would have been 1.19%*, and the ratio of net investment income
to average net assets would have been .16%*.

To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(TM)
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(TM)
(one of the series constituting Schwab Capital Trust, hereafter referred to as
the "Trust") at October 31, 1994, the results of its operations and the changes
in its net assets for the period presented, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which 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
audit, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 1994 by
correspondence with the custodian, provides a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.
