Dear Fellow Shareholder,

[Photo        The Schwabfunds Family(R) is celebrating tremendous growth as a
  of          mutual fund complex. By placing your trust in SchwabFunds,(R)
Charles       you've helped total assets under management grow by $8 billion in
R. Schwab]    1995 to reach over $31 billion. With over $31 billion in assets
              under management, SchwabFunds ranks in the top 6% of all mutual
              fund complexes.

We believe much of this success can be traced to the Schwab commitment to serve
the needs of the Fund shareholders, a commitment demonstrated by the entire
SchwabFunds staff and, in particular, by our experienced team of portfolio
managers.  

The 20 professionals who make up our growing portfolio management team are
devoted to monitoring the financial markets for you.  Through a careful and
disciplined selection of securities, the portfolio managers strive to construct
optimal portfolios that provide shareholders with competitive returns that meet
their investment goals. And shareholders continue to signal their trust in the
175 years of combined experience behind our SchwabFunds portfolio management by
keeping their money invested in SchwabFunds. In fact, a large number of the 1.5
million shareholders have been investing in the SchwabFunds Family since its
first year of operation.

We believe an important part of serving your needs is keeping you informed
about your investments. For example, last year we added the question and answer
section of this report, developed by our portfolio managers to address what
they feel were the most pressing questions we've heard from shareholders over
the period. It is one way we hope to keep communication open between you and
the people managing your investments.

During its six years, the SchwabFunds Family has grown to include a solid
selection of funds that meet the "core" needs of investors. SchwabFunds offers
a solution to investors who want the convenience and competitive costs of a
no-load mutual fund family. The 19 no-load funds available to retail investors,
including the new Schwab Asset Director(R) Funds, offer diversification of the
U.S. and international equity markets, both taxable and tax-free bonds and a
variety of money market investments.  

With this level of diversification, you may use SchwabFunds to create an
efficient, well-rounded portfolio. Or you may use them to serve as building
blocks to an overall investment program that includes more specialized
investments.

I invite you to learn more about the SchwabFunds Family. To receive a brochure
and prospectus for the SchwabFunds, please call our toll-free number, 1-800-2
NO-LOAD, or visit any one of our more than 200 Schwab offices. A Schwab
representative will be happy to provide you with a prospectus that includes
more complete information on the Funds, including charges and expenses. Please
read it carefully before investing. If you normally invest in SchwabFunds with
the help of an investment manager, he or she can give you more information on
the other SchwabFunds.

I'd like to extend my personal gratitude for your trust in the SchwabFunds
Family as it continues to grow. You should feel confident that the outstanding
efforts of all those who are part of the SchwabFunds organization will continue
going forward. And we expect these efforts to help us to meet even higher
standards of excellence in the years ahead.

                                        /s/ Charles R. Schwab

COMMENTS FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGER

We are pleased to report the performance of the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(R)
for fiscal year 1995, which began November 1, 1994 and ended October 31,
1995. During the year, the Fund continued to help you participate in the growth
potential of the small-cap segment of the U.S. stock market by tracking the
price and dividend performance of the Schwab Small-Cap Index.(TM)

GROWTH IN ASSETS AND SHAREHOLDERS

Investors signaled their confidence in the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund by
investing over $40 million in the Fund during the year. In fact, the Fund's net
assets nearly doubled, rising from $68 million to over $122 million, while the
number of shareholders increased by 35% to over 18,000. We believe this strong
growth underscores the Fund's effectiveness as a way to tap the long-term
growth potential of the small-cap sector of the U.S. stock market.

FUND ACHIEVED POSITIVE TOTAL RETURN

The Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund's net asset value (NAV) increased
substantially, reflecting the growth of the overall U.S. equity market,
including the small-cap sector. The Fund's NAV began the year at $10.05 and
ended at $11.70. Additionally, the Fund paid $0.06 per share in dividends
during the year.

The table below compares total return for various periods for the Schwab
Small-Cap Index Fund, the Schwab Small-Cap Index and the Fund's industry
benchmark, the Standard and Poor's Small-Cap 600 Index(R) (S&P 600) and the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index(R) (S&P 500).

Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends. Past performance is no
guarantee of future results. Principal value and investment returns will
fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or
less than their original cost. A portion of the Fund's fees were waived during
the year. Without the waivers, the Fund's total return for the year would have
been 16.71%. Indices are unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, do not reflect
advisory and other fees associated with investment in the Fund.
<PAGE>   4
The S&P 600 was created in October of 1994 to track the small-cap sector of the
U.S. stock market. We believe the S&P 600, rather than the S&P 500, is a more
appropriate industry benchmark for the Schwab Small-Cap Index(TM) and the Fund.
The S&P 500, which tracks the large-cap market sector is provided for purposes
of comparison to that sector.

While the total return of the Fund and the Schwab Small-Cap Index were both
over 17% during the reporting period, they lagged the return of the S&P 600.
The lag was primarily due to composition differences between the S&P 600 and
the Schwab Small-Cap Index. This is further discussed in "Questions to the
Portfolio Management Team" section later in this report.

STOCK MARKET OVERVIEW

Fueled by stabilized interest rates and improved corporate earnings, the U.S.
stock market experienced almost uninterrupted growth during the 12-month
period, with all market sectors registering strong gains. While the performance
of small company stocks generally lagged that of large company stocks, the
small-cap market sector still experienced solid results for the year. As
expected, the performance of the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(R) reflected these
market trends.

Although short-term market cycles favoring large or small company stocks are
inevitable, over the longer term small-cap stocks have proven to be strong
performers. In fact, over the 20-year period ended 12/31/94, the small-cap
sector outperformed the large-cap sector. The average annual return for this
20-year period was 19.1% for the small-cap sector and 14.5% for the large-cap
sector. 1 This performance is further explained in the "Questions to the
Portfolio Management Team" section of this report.

INDEXING: A SMART STRATEGY

Indexing offers you a smart, convenient way to participate in the long-term
growth potential of the small-cap sector. The Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund
attempts to track the price and dividend performance of the Schwab Small-Cap
Index, which is comprised of the stocks of the second 1,000 largest publicly
traded U.S. companies, ranked by market capitalization. 2 Under normal
circumstances, the Fund keeps substantially all of its assets invested in the
stocks that comprise the Index, maintaining only a small cash position to cover
shareholder redemptions and Fund expenses.

Index funds are designed to help you earn returns that keep pace with targeted
segments of the equity market. While actively managed funds regularly buy and
sell securities based on predictions of market movements, index funds follow a
passive investment strategy that seeks to track the market's performance. Few
professional money managers







 1   Source: BARRA, Inc. Specific sources for the data are the S&P 500 for
     large-cap stock and Ibbotson and BARRA Small Company Index for small-cap
     stock. Indices are unmanaged and do not incur management or transaction
     costs and cannot be invested in. Past performance does not guarantee
     future results. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and
     capital gain distributions.

are actually able to beat the performance of the stock market consistently. In
fact, over the last five years, only about one in four professionally managed
equity funds outperformed the U.S. stock market. 3 Trying to match market
performance with an indexing approach can be a sensible alternative.

HIGHER AFTER-TAX RETURNS

The Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(R) seeks to maximize your after-tax returns by
minimizing expenses and capital gain distributions.  Since the Fund follows a
buy-and-hold investment strategy, it features relatively low portfolio turnover
which translates into lower portfolio trading expenses and reduces the
likelihood of capital gain distributions. For the year ended October 31, 1995,
the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 24%, compared with 77%, the average for
U.S. small-cap funds. 4 When it does become necessary to sell securities, the
Fund's Investment Manager seeks to offset capital gains with losses to avoid
capital gain distributions. These strategies can help maximize your after-tax
returns by reducing or deferring the taxes you pay.

EXPENSE RATIO REDUCED

At Schwab, we have a commitment to keep fees and expenses low. The less you pay
in fees and expenses, the greater the portion of a fund's return you can
receive. In line with this commitment, the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund does not
impose sales loads or 12b-1 fees, both of which would increase expenses and
diminish total return. 5

To enhance your return potential, we reduced the operating expense ratio of the
Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund. Effective July 1, 1995 and through at least June
30, 1996, the Fund's operating expense ratio was lowered from 0.75% to
0.59%--significantly below 1.48%, the average for small-cap funds. 6 While the
reduction occurred too late in the reporting period for its full impact to be
felt, the Fund's new, lower expense ratio will help you earn higher returns
going forward.

BROAD DIVERSIFICATION

The Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund's diversified portfolio helps reduce investment
risk by investing in a wide variety of industries.  The Fund invests in
substantially all of the stocks that comprise the Schwab Small-Cap Index(TM).
The Index does not include the very smallest companies represented in the stock
market which helps avoid the increased volatility and higher trading costs
associated with these "micro-cap" stocks. 7

LOOKING FORWARD

Whatever direction the equity markets take in the year ahead, we believe the
Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund will continue to offer you a convenient, low-cost
way to diversify your portfolio with small company stocks. Going forward, the
Fund will also continue to strive to track the price and dividend performance
of the Schwab Small-Cap Index and to maintain its tax and cost efficiencies.

Thank you for placing your confidence in SchwabFunds.(R) We recognize that we
earn your trust day by day, and we look forward to continuing to serve your
investment needs in the future.

TRACKING SMALL COMPANY STOCKS

The Schwab Small-Cap Index(TM), comprised of the stocks of the second 1,000
largest U.S. corporations (as defined below), is designed to track the
performance of the small-capitalization sector of the U.S. stock
market--smaller growth companies that fall somewhere between large, "blue chip"
corporations and very small, "micro-cap" companies. Developed by Schwab in
1993, the Index's total market capitalization currently exceeds $359 billion.

To be included in the Index, a company must satisfy the following criteria:

- -        it must be an operating company, not an investment company;

- -        it must be incorporated in the United States;

- -        its shares must trade on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock
         Exchange or NASDAQ exchange;

- -        it must rank among the second largest 1,000 U.S. companies, based on
         market capitalization (shares outstanding multiplied by share price).

The Index is revised at least semi-annually, and companies that meet or no
longer meet these criteria are added or deleted, as appropriate. By investing
in the stocks that comprise the Index, the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(R) can
help you diversify your portfolio through exposure to some of America's most
dynamic growth companies.


QUESTIONS TO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM OF CHARLES SCHWAB INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT, INC.

Stephen B. Ward - Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer
Geri Hom - Portfolio Manager

Q.  TO WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE THE SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX FUND'S STRONG
PERFORMANCE DURING THE 12-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?

A.  During the 12-month reporting period, the U.S. stock market experienced
strong gains, with all major domestic equity indices achieving new highs.
Although the large capitalization sector of the market outperformed the small
capitalization sector, the returns achieved by investors in small-cap stocks
were nonetheless very respectable in comparison to the historical returns of
either large-cap or small-cap stocks.

Even though the Federal Reserve's series of increases in the federal funds rate
(from 3% in January 1994 to 6% in February 1995) was successful at slowing the
rate of economic growth during the first and second quarters of 1995, the
domestic equities market continued its strong rally. The most significant
factor contributing to the solid performance of the U.S. stock market appeared
to be the strong growth in corporate earnings.  Based on value measures such as
the ratio of price-to-book value and divi-
<PAGE>   8
dend yield, most domestic equity indices experienced record or near-record
highs during the reporting period. However, because of the strong growth in
corporate earnings, the price/earnings ratio of the S&P 500, which stood at
approximately 17 as of October 31, 1995, has experienced a sustained decline
from its 1992 high of approximately 26. This level is still above its 30-year
average of approximately 14.

Q.  HOW DID THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX(TM) COMPARE TO THE
S&P 600 DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? HOW DO THESE INDICES DIFFER?

A.  During the period, the total return of the Schwab Small-Cap Index was
17.35%, underperforming the S&P 600, which had a total return of 21.09% for the
period. As shown at right, the two indices tracked very closely through the
second quarter of 1995. Then, coincident with the strong performance of the
technology sector in the third quarter, the S&P 600 began to outpace the Schwab
Small-Cap Index, as well as other broad-based, well-known small-cap indices
such as the Russell 2000 Index. This is partially due to the fact that the
technology sector makes up a larger portion of the S&P 600 than the Schwab
Small-Cap Index. On a Fund inception-to-date basis, however, the average annual
total return of the Schwab Small-Cap Index and the S&P 600 remain close, 9.58%
and 9.92% respectively, within four tenths of 1%.

Since the composition of the two indices is different, we fully expect that
there will continue to be periods of some discrepancies in the performance of
the two indices. While the Schwab Small-Cap Index represents the stocks of the
second 1,000 largest U.S.  corporations (excluding investment companies), the
S&P 600 is composed of 600 domestic stocks selected by the Standard & Poor's
Corporation. The composition differences result in differing index
characteristics, such as industry concentration and style characteristics.

Q.  WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SCHWAB
SMALL-CAP INDEX AND THE SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX FUND(R)?

A.  The Schwab Small-Cap Index is a theoretical return of a group of stocks
representing the second 1,000 largest U.S. corporations (excluding investment
companies), ranked by market capitalization. Unlike the Fund, the Index does
not incur management and other Fund costs which reduce returns to the
shareholders. In addition, the Fund, unlike the Index, holds a small portion of
its balances in cash to meet shareholder redemptions and to pay expenses. The
cash portion earns interest at money market rates, which may be more or less
than the returns of the Index during a given period. Also, the weighting of any
particular security in the Fund can be greater or less than in the Index.

Another factor accounting for the difference in performance is the Fund's goal
of minimizing capital gain distributions.  In order to avoid excessive
realization of capital gains, the Fund may continue to hold certain stocks that
are no longer in the Index.  Depending on the performance of these non-Index
stocks, this practice may have positive or negative contributions to the Fund's
tracking error.

Taken together, these factors cause the difference in the returns of the Fund
compared to the Index, a difference referred to as the Fund's "tracking error."
The tracking error for the Fund during the reporting period was 0.24%, and its
average annual tracking
<PAGE>   9
error since 12/3/93, the Fund's inception, has been 0.61%. Given the Fund's
current operating expense ratio of 0.59%, and the components of tracking error
(as discussed above), we view this tracking error as favorable.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal value and returns
will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or
less than their original cost.

The performance graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Schwab
Small-Cap Index Fund since inception with hypothetical investments in the
Schwab Small-Cap Index, the S&P 600 and the S&P 500. Indices are unmanaged and
assume reinvestment of all dividends. Investors cannot invest directly in an
index, therefore indices, unlike the Fund, do not reflect the payment of
advisory fees and other expenses associated with an investment in the Fund.
Since the S&P 600 did not exist before October, 1994, it was reconstructed from
December 3, 1993 through September, 1994 by S&P. Fund total returns assume the
reinvestment of all dividends.

Q.  WHICH INDUSTRY SECTORS WERE THE BEST PERFORMERS IN THE U.S. EQUITY MARKETS
DURING THE 12-MONTH PERIOD?

A.  The technology sector was clearly the strongest performing sector in the
small-cap equity market during the period. This sector, achieved an overall
industry total return of 41% 8. The technology sector comprised approximately
17% of Fund net assets as of 10/31/95. Other sectors in the small-cap market
with strong performance during the period were finance, and capital goods which
had overall industry total returns of 33%8 and 30%8, respectively. Finance
represented approximately 18% of Fund net assets and capital goods 5% of Fund
net assets as of 10/31/95.

     or the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund.

Q.  WHY ARE SMALL-CAP INDEX FUNDS AN ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT OPTION, AND WHAT
ROLE SHOULD A SMALL-CAP INDEX FUND PLAY IN AN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO?

A.  As with other types of securities, investing in small-cap stocks using an
index fund as the investment vehicle offers the advantages of broad company
diversification, typically a lower operating expense ratio than actively
managed funds, 9 and in the case of the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(R), a
tax-smart management strategy that seeks to minimize portfolio turnover and
capital gain distributions.

Small company stocks also manifest certain characteristics that make them
attractive elements of a well-diversified investment portfolio. Historically,
small company stocks have proven to have some of the highest return potential
and volatility characteristics of all major classes of investment assets. For
example, for the 20-year period ended December 31, 1994, small company stocks
provided an average annual total return of 19.1%. 10  This compares with large
company returns of 14.5%, 10 and international equity returns of 15.5%. 10
However, small company stocks also exhibited the greatest volatility during the
same period as measured by the annual standard deviation of returns of
21.4%. 10 This compares with standard deviations of return of 15.0% 10 and
17.8% 10  for large company stocks and international stocks, respectively
during the same period.

Small company stocks can be added to a diversified, long-term investment
portfolio in an effort to enhance the portfolio's long-term total return
potential. Typically, because of the volatility characteristics of small
company stocks, investors with higher risk tolerances and longer term
investment horizons may be able to consider a larger allocation to small
company stocks. Investors with lower risk tolerances and shorter term
investment horizons may want to consider a smaller or no allocation to small
company stocks.  Since small company stock returns are not perfectly correlated
with returns of other major asset classes (such as large company stocks,
international stocks or bonds), combining small company stocks in a portfolio
with other asset classes can provide total portfolio returns with lower return
volatility than each of the individual components.

An investment portfolio which uses only small company stocks will not realize
the benefits of asset class diversification described above. To take maximum
advantage of these investment principles, an investor should consider combining
small-cap stocks with other major equity asset classes (such as large company
stocks and international stocks) to form the equity component of a
well-diversified investment portfolio.

     managed small-cap funds was 1.51% compared to 0.60% for 12 small-cap index
     funds, as of 10/31/95.

     large-cap stock; Ibbotson and BARRA Small Company Index for small-cap
     stock and EAFEIndex for international stock. Indices are unmanaged and do
     not incur management or transaction costs and cannot be invested in. Past
     performance does not guarantee future results. Total return assumes
     reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions.

SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX FUND(R)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended October 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
 
In addition to the Fund, the Trust also offers -- the Schwab International Index
Fund(TM), the Schwab Asset Director(R)-High Growth Fund, the Schwab Asset
Director(R)-Conservative Growth Fund and the Schwab Asset Director(R)-Balanced
Growth Fund. 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 investment manager 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, 1995, (for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes),
net unrealized appreciation aggregated $13,626,000, of which $22,090,000 related
to appreciated securities and $8,464,000 related to depreciated securities.

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
$447,000 during the year ended October 31, 1995, before the Investment Manager
reduced its fee (see Note 5).

Investment Manager did pay 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.
 
Effective May 1, 1995, the sub-advisory agreement for the Fund was terminated
and the Investment Manager assumed day-to-day portfolio management
responsibility for the Fund.
 
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 the average daily net assets for
transfer agency services and .20% of such assets for shareholder services. For
the year ended October 31, 1995, the Fund incurred transfer agency and
shareholder service fees of $223,000, 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 and/or Schwab.
During the year ended October 31, 1995, 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 $21,000

made under this arrangement.
 
5. EXPENSES REDUCED BY THE INVESTMENT MANAGER AND SCHWAB

To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(R)
 
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
(one of the series constituting Schwab Capital Trust, hereafter referred to as
the "Trust") at October 31, 1995, and 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 audits 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, 1995 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.

The SchwabFunds Family includes a variety of funds to help meet your investment
needs. You can diversify your portfolio with one investment in any of three
Asset Director(R) Funds, or choose several different equity markets with our
three equity index funds.  You can also select from different maturities with
our bond fund choices and take advantage of an array of money market funds.

                          SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR FUNDS

The three Asset Director Funds offer a mix of stocks, bonds and
cash-equivalents with varying degrees of risk and return potential.

- -        High Growth Fund seeks to provide high capital growth with less
         volatility than an all-stock portfolio.This Fund has the largest stock
         component and offers the highest risk and return potential.

- -        Balanced Growth Fund seeks to provide maximum total return, including
         capital growth and income.This Fund invests in a more balanced mix of
         stocks and bonds and offers moderate risk and return potential.

- -        Conservative Growth Fund seeks to provide income with growth
         potential. This Fund has the smallest stock component, which is
         designed to help offset inflation, and generally keeps the majority of
         its assets invested in bonds. It offers the lowest risk and return
         potential.

                               SCHWAB INDEX FUNDS

- -        Schwab 1000 Fund(R) is designed to match the total return of the
         Schwab 1000 Index,(R) which is comprised of the largest 1,000 publicly

         total market capitalization of the U.S.  Stock Market. 1

- -        Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(R) is designed to track the total return
         of the Schwab Small-Cap Index,(TM) which tracks the performance of

         comprised of the second 1,000 largest publicly traded companies in the
         United States. 1

- -        Schwab International Index Fund(TM) is designed to track the total
         return of the Schwab International Index,(R) which is comprised of 350
         of the largest companies, based on market capitalization, in foreign
         countries with developed securities markets. 2

                               SCHWAB BOND FUNDS

         offer high current yields with the credit safety of high-quality U.S.
         Government securities. The level of income you are seeking and your

         selection of either our Short/Intermediate Fund or our Long-Term
         Fund. 3

- -        Schwab Tax-Free Bond Funds help investors take advantage of one of the
         last remain-ing tax breaks: tax-free municipal bonds. We offer a
         Short/Intermediate Fund and a Long-Term Fund, both of which pay
         monthly income free from federal personal income tax. 4, 5

         different opportunities to earn double tax-free income-free from both
