The SCHWAB ANALYTICS FUND (THE "FUND") seeks to achieve long-term capital
growth. The Fund strives to achieve its objective by utilizing quantitative

been associated with aggregate total returns greater than that of the Standard &
Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks ("S&P 500(R)" or "S&P 500 Index"). The Fund
will invest primarily in the common stocks of large and medium capitalization
publicly traded U.S. companies. The Fund is a diversified investment portfolio
of Schwab Capital Trust (the "Trust"), a no-load, open-end management investment
company managed by Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (the "Investment
Manager" or "CSIM").

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 Fund.
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES include management fees paid to the Investment
Manager, transfer agency fees and other expenses. These expenses cover, for
example, services such as investment research and management of the Fund,
maintaining shareholder records, and issuing shareholder statements. The Fund
pays its own annual operating expenses from its income, which is factored into
the dividends paid to shareholders and into the share price. As a shareholder,
you are not charged any of these fees directly.

(1) This amount reflects a reduction guaranteed by the Investment Manager
through at least July 1, 1997. If there were no such reduction, the maximum
management fee would be 0.74% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
(2) "Other Expenses" are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year
for the Fund. See "Organization and Management of Our Fund -- Operating Fees and
Expenses" for information regarding the expenses for the Fund.
(3) This amount reflects the guarantee by Schwab and the Investment Manager
that, through at least July 1, 1997, the total fund operating expenses of the
Fund will not exceed 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. After that,
the guarantee may be terminated, modified or continued. If there were no such
guarantee, the estimated total operating expenses of the Fund would be 1.14% of
the Fund's average daily net assets.
(4) You may be charged a fee if applicable minimum balances are not maintained
in your Schwab brokerage or Schwab One(R) account. Schwab Individual Retirement
Accounts with balances or $10,000 or more by September 15, 1996 will not be
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. See "Investing in Our
Fund" for information regarding minimum balance and investment requirements.
EXAMPLES. You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment in the
Fund assuming: (1) 5% annual return and (2) redemption at the end of the period.

example assumes a 5% annual return on investment, the 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 Fund. (See
"Organization and Management of Our Fund - Operating Fees and Expenses.")
KEY FEATURES OF OUR FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital growth.
STRATEGY: The Fund will invest primarily in the common stocks of publicly traded
U. S. companies with market capitalization generally greater than $500 million.
From this universe of over 1,300 common stocks, quantitative techniques,
proprietary software models and realtime databases will be used to continually
identify and rank stocks that exhibit a favorable combination of attributes, or
"factors." Stocks that exhibit these factors have historically been associated
with aggregate total returns greater than that of the S&P 500(R). Once stocks
are ranked, statistical methodologies will be used to construct a portfolio of
the most attractive stocks in terms of potential long-term capital growth. The
Fund typically will invest in the stocks of at least fifty issuers. The Fund
intends to maintain industry diversification similar to that of the S&P 500
Index. This broad industry diversification serves to lessen portfolio risk. The
Fund seeks to outperform the S&P 500 over the long term. The models used to
identify and rank stocks
2
<PAGE> 6
are continually refined and reviewed to incorporate the most current academic
research and institutional money management techniques.
Common stock prices can be volatile in the short term. Market conditions or
other company, political and economic news often can cause large changes in a
stock's price. You should be comfortable with the volatility of an all-stock
investment and the risks of the stock market. When you sell your shares, they
may be worth more or less than what you paid for them.
The Fund may also invest in certain futures contracts and options, which are
types of derivative transactions. Their potential return and risk can vary
widely from type to type.
For more details on the Fund's investments and the risks associated with them,
see "Matching the Fund to Your Investment Needs--Risk Considerations,"
"Investment Objectives and Policies" and "Investment Techniques Used by Our
Fund." See "Investment Securities" in the SAI for details about the derivatives
that we use and the limits on them. You should pay special attention to these
descriptions of derivatives, for these investments carry more risk potential
than the Fund's other investments.
MANAGEMENT. The Investment Manager, Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc.,
currently manages the mutual funds in the SchwabFunds Family(R), a family of 23
mutual funds with approximately $33 billion in assets as of January 31, 1996.
The Sub-Adviser of the Fund will be Symphony Asset Management, Inc.
("Symphony"). For more details, see "Organization and Management of Our Fund."
LOW-COST INVESTING. You pay no sales fees or charges when you buy or sell shares
of the Fund. The Investment Manager and Schwab guarantee that the Fund's total
operating expenses will not exceed 0.75% through at least July 1, 1997. After
that, the guarantee may be terminated, modified or continued. For more details,
see "Investing in Our Fund" and "Operating Fees and Expenses."
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES. Schwab's professional representatives are available
toll-free 24 hours a day at 800-2 NO-LOAD to serve your account, or you can
visit or call your local Schwab office during regular business hours. Schwab
also enables you to execute your trading requests through electronic products
and services such as StreetSmart(TM), e.Schwab(TM), The Equalizer(R) and
TeleBroker(R). See "Investing in Our Fund."
CONVENIENT REPORTING. You receive regular Schwab statements that combine all
your investment activity, including mutual funds, on one report.
FREE AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN. Schwab's free Automatic Investment Plan allows
you to make regular investments in the Fund in amounts and at intervals that you
select. For more details, see "Schwab's Automatic Investment Plan."
RETIREMENT PLANS. Schwab offers tax-advantaged retirement plans for which the
Fund may be a particularly appropriate investment. For more information, see
"Investing in Our Fund - Tax-Advantaged Retirement Plans."
MATCHING THE FUND TO
YOUR INVESTMENT NEEDS
We designed the Fund to provide you with exposure to the growth potential of the
stock market. In the past, U. S. common stocks have outperformed most other
securities over time. The Fund may be appropriate for you if you have a
long-term investment horizon and want the growth potential of stock investments.
The Fund is designed for those who are looking for a systematic and disciplined
approach that seeks to outperform the S&P 500 over the long term. Typical uses
for the Fund might include investors saving for retirement or college funding.
The Fund is also appropriate for use in IRAs and other retirement plans. A
broadly-based stock fund, like the Fund, is also often used as a component of an
asset allocation plan. While the Fund is not a complete investment plan, you may
use it as part of your equity investments around which you tailor your overall
plan.
We designed the Fund for long-term investors. You should not use the Fund to
speculate on short-term market movements. Doing so can disrupt our investment
strategy and operations. It also raises costs for other Fund investors. As a
result, we may refuse any purchase or exchange order that we deem to be
disruptive to the Fund or its investments.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
The Fund's investment objective is to seek to achieve long-term capital growth.
The Fund strives to achieve its objective by utilizing quantitative techniques,
proprietary software models and realtime databases to select stocks that exhibit
a combination of attributes that historically have been associated with
aggregate total returns greater than that of the S&P 500(R). The Fund will
invest primarily in the common stocks of large and medium capitalization
publicly traded U.S. companies.
From a universe of over 1,300 common stocks, a quantitative, systematic approach
will be used to continually identify and rank stocks that exhibit a favorable
combination of attributes or "factors." Some of the factors that the
quantitative models currently include are: company size (a function of market
capitalization and asset size), dividend payout or yield, book value to stock
price ratios, earnings to stock price ratios, historic earnings growth and stock
price momentum, analysts' earnings estimates and revisions and the unusual sale
of shares by corporate directors and executives. Information from several
extensive databases is monitored and updated on a real-time basis, and the
proprietary models are constantly refined and reviewed to incorporate the most
advanced academic research and institutional money management techniques. The
factors utilized may change over time. Once stocks are ranked, statistical
methodologies will be used to construct a portfolio of the most attractive
stocks in terms of potential long-term capital growth. The Fund typically will
invest in the stocks of at least fifty issuers. The Fund intends to maintain
industry diversification similar to that of the S&P 500 Index. This broad
industry diversification serves to lessen portfolio risk.
S&P 500(R). S&P 500(R) is the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks, a
widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stock prices. Total returns for the
S&P 500(R) assume reinvestment of all dividends paid by stocks included in the
index. They do not, however, include any allowance for the brokerage commissions
or other fees you would pay if you actually invested in these stocks.
Under normal conditions, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets
in U.S. common stocks. Although the Fund invests primarily in common stocks, it
may also buy and sell other equity securities and other types of instruments. It
also buys and sells short-term debt securities for cash management purposes. In
addition, the Fund uses various techniques, such as purchasing options and
futures contracts, to maintain cash reserves for potential redemptions while
simulating full investment. In addition, while the Fund will not purchase
when-issued and delayed delivery securities, the Fund may hold these securities
to the extent that such holdings are incident to the Fund's ownership of common
stocks.
The Fund's investment objective is fundamental and cannot be changed without
shareholder approval. The Fund's investment policies and techniques discussed
below are non-fundamental, unless otherwise noted. See "Investment Restrictions"
in the SAI for details. While there is no assurance that the Fund will achieve
its investment objective, it will endeavor to do so by following the investment
policies described below and on the following pages.
INVESTMENTS AND TECHNIQUES
USED BY OUR FUND
In seeking its objective, the Fund may buy and sell the investments and employ
the techniques described below. Please see SAI for more details. The Fund's
investment policies and restrictions apply at the time the Fund makes an
investment. Except with respect to futures, options and illiquid securities,
later changes, such as changed market values, do not require the Fund to sell
the investment even if the Fund could not then make the same investment.
EQUITY SECURITIES. Equity securities are ownership interests in the net worth of
a corporation. They include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible
securities and warrants. In the past, they have outperformed most other
securities over time. Their prices can be volatile in the short term though.
Market conditions or other company, political and economic news often can cause
large changes in a stock's price for the short term or long term. Smaller
company securities are especially sensitive to these factors.
RISK CONSIDERATIONS. We invest primarily in common stocks of medium and large
capitalization U.S. companies. Your investment in our Fund will expose you to
stock risk. Prices of many stocks or of a single stock may decline over short or
even long periods. However, diversity of stock holdings does tend to reduce
stock risk. Because we own so many different stocks, our Fund is less sensitive
to the decline of any one of them than if it invested in fewer stocks. The wide
range of industries also tends to lessen the impact of one industry's decline.
Even so, these factors cannot protect you from possible losses.
SHORT-TERM DEBT SECURITIES. While the Fund tries to remain invested in equities
as fully as possible, it must manage cash flows resulting from the purchase and
sale of Fund shares. Thus, the Fund also may invest in U.S. Dollar denominated
short-term bonds and money market instruments. The Fund may buy debt securities
of or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or
4
<PAGE> 8
related bodies. It also may use certificates of deposit, time deposits and
bankers' acceptances. The Fund also may buy commercial paper if the commercial
paper has one of an NRSRO's top two ratings or has comparable quality if it is
unrated. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements using any of these debt
securities. It also may buy and sell shares of other mutual funds to manage its
cash flows.
THE FUND MAY USE FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. When investing cash in or
redeeming cash from the equity market, we may engage in certain stock futures
contracts and options, which are types of derivative transactions. Their
potential return and risk can vary widely from type to type. Specifically, the
Fund may enter into futures contracts and options on futures contracts provided
that the aggregate deposits required on these contracts do not exceed 5% of the
Fund's total assets. In addition, certain provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), may limit the Fund's use of futures
contracts and options. See "Investment Securities" in the Statement of
Additional Information for details about the derivatives that we use and the
limits on them. You should pay special attention to these descriptions of
derivatives, for these investments carry more risk potential than the Fund's
other investments.
The Fund may use futures contracts and options for several reasons: to
reallocate the Fund's assets among stocks 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 securities.
Because trading costs for futures contracts and options often are less than the
costs of direct investments, the Fund may use these instruments to reduce its
total trading costs. Also, futures contracts require only a small initial margin
deposit. That way, the Fund often is able to keep a cash reserve for future
redemptions but in effect remain fully invested. The Fund may reduce holdings of
futures contracts upon net redemptions to avoid leverage.
Futures contracts and options pose certain risks. The secondary market for a
futures contract also may not be liquid. As a result, the Fund may not be able
to close a futures position before it settles. The Fund also buys and sells
futures contracts and options on national exchanges that have an active and
liquid secondary market.
The risk of loss in trading futures contracts in some strategies can be
substantial. Low required margin deposits and the extremely high degree of
leverage of some contracts contribute to this risk. Thus, a relatively small
price change in a security or index linked to a futures contract may result in
immediate and substantial loss (or gain). When investing in futures contracts,
the Fund will segregate cash, cash-equivalents or liquid, high-quality debt
instruments in the amount of the underlying obligation.
Since the Fund will not use futures and options contracts for the purposes of
leveraging the portfolio, the Investment Manager does not believe that the Fund
is subject to the degree of risk frequently associated with futures and options
transactions.
ILLIQUID SECURITIES. As a fundamental policy, the Fund may 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 Fund has valued the
instrument.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. As an alternative to investing in short-term securities,
the Fund may engage in repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, the
Fund buys a security at one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a
higher price. In the event of a bankruptcy or other default of a repurchase
agreement counterparty, the Fund may incur 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 Fund may borrow money only for temporary purposes to meet
redemption requests that it cannot otherwise meet without immediately selling
portfolio securities. The Fund may borrow up to one-third of its total assets
and pledge up to one-third of its total assets to secure such borrowings. The
Fund may not borrow to leverage. The Fund's borrowing and pledging policies are
fundamental.
SECURITIES LENDING: As a means of increasing income, the Fund may lend
securities it owns worth up to one-third of its total assets. Loans must be
fully collateralized by the borrower at all times. If the borrower defaults or
becomes insolvent, the Fund may incur expenses or losses. The Fund may not
recover the loaned securities immediately and may even lose them entirely.
INVESTMENT COMPANIES. The Fund may buy shares of other investment companies,
including those managed by CSIM, the Investment Manager. These purchases will be
subject to the limitations imposed by the 1940 Act, and the Fund will only make
these purchases after obtaining any required regulatory approvals. Investment by
the Fund in other investment companies may cause you to bear duplicative fees
for certain services.
5
<PAGE> 9
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER. The Fund anticipates that its annual turnover rate will not
exceed 125%. Higher portfolio turnover will generally result in higher brokerage
costs and possible tax consequences.
INVESTING IN OUR FUND
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

an account application. Mail it, together with your check, to the address
indicated on the application. You may also open your account in person as
described in the table on the following page.
Existing Schwab investors must have funds in their Schwab account in order to

for which the Fund may be a particularly appropriate investment. Schwab's
retirement plans allow participants to defer taxes while helping them build
their retirement savings. The Schwab IRA is a retirement plan with a wide choice
of investments offering individuals with earned income the opportunity to
compound earnings on a tax-deferred basis. The Schwab Keogh is a tax-advantaged
plan for self-employed individuals and their employees that permits the employer
to make annual tax-deductible contributions of up to $30,000. Schwab also offers
Corporate Retirement Plans to help a company attract and retain valuable
employees. Call your local Schwab office or 800-2 NO-LOAD, 24 hours a day, for
more information.
HOW TO SELL OR EXCHANGE YOUR SHARES
You can sell your Fund shares at any time, in person, by telephone,

shares of any other SchwabFunds class or series available to investors in your

tax purposes. Note that you must meet the minimum initial or subsequent
investment requirements applicable to the shares you wish to receive in an
exchange. The Fund reserves the right on 60 days' written notice to modify,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR INVESTMENT
DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS. When you first buy shares in our Fund, you may choose one
of the three following distribution options:
1. AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT: We will reinvest all distributions in additional
shares of the Fund. The Fund chooses this option automatically unless you
specify otherwise. If you are purchasing Fund shares through Schwab's AIP, you
must choose this distribution option for this Fund.
2. CASH DIVIDENDS/REINVESTED CAPITAL GAINS: We will pay you income dividends in
cash and invest capital gains for you in additional Fund shares.
3. ALL CASH: We will pay you both [income dividends] and any capital gains in
cash.
The Fund reinvests distributions at the net asset value determined on the
declaration date. We credit your cash distributions to your Schwab account on
the date distributions are payable. We leave them there or mail them to you,
depending on your standing account instructions.
To change the distribution option you have selected, call your local Schwab
office or 800-2 NO-LOAD.
The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income
each year, as determined by the Board of Trustees. The Fund will distribute net
investment income and capital gains, if any, annually in December. You should be
aware that your per share equity in undistributed net investment and capital
gains income may be diluted by the continuing purchases and redemptions of the
Fund's shares. We will automatically
8
<PAGE> 12
reinvest all your distributions in additional Fund shares unless you elect
otherwise.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following is only a very brief summary of how some of the federal income tax
laws affect you and the Fund. Thus, you must consult with your own tax adviser
about your particular tax situation.
The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Code. To
qualify, we will distribute substantially all of our investment company taxable
income and our capital gain net income (if any) each year. In addition, we will
meet certain other Code requirements. As a regulated investment company, we will
pay no federal income taxes insofar as we distribute our earnings to our
shareholders. Income we receive from certain foreign sources, however, may be
subject to foreign income taxes and withholding.
Dividends that the Fund pays to you from net investment income generally are
taxable to you as ordinary income. So are distributions of the Fund's net
short-term capital gains in excess of any net long-term capital losses.
Distributions that the Fund designates as long-term capital gains (net of
capital losses) generally are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no
matter how long you own your Fund shares. These tax rules apply whether the Fund
pays dividends in cash or in reinvested shares.
If you are not subject to tax on your income, you may have different tax
treatment. In general, you will not pay tax on the Fund's distributions to you.
You should be aware that an exchange of Fund shares for shares of other
SchwabFunds(R) will be treated as a taxable event for federal income tax
purposes.
We will provide you with a record of all distributions, purchases and sales on
your regular Schwab brokerage account statement. Each year we will notify you of
the federal income tax treatment of all distributions made that year to your
account.
HOW WE DETERMINE THE PRICE OF YOUR SHARES
The price of a single share of the Fund is the Fund's net asset value. We
determine net asset value each Business Day at the close of trading on the
Exchange, generally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. We determine the price by first
valuing the total assets of the Fund, then subtracting any liabilities; and
dividing the balance by the number of shares outstanding.
The Fund values its portfolio securities based on market quotes if they are
readily available. If they are not readily available, the Investment Manager
assigns fair values to the Fund's assets in good faith under Board of Trustees
guidelines. The Fund values illiquid and restricted securities in this way. The
Board of Trustees regularly reviews these values. The Fund uses prices furnished
by pricing services if it believes that they reflect market values.
Purchase or redemption orders and exchange requests will be executed at the NAV
next determined after receipt by Schwab's Mutual Fund Transfer Agency Department
or its authorized agent.
HOW OUR FUND REPORTS PERFORMANCE
From time to time the Fund may advertise the total return and yield of the Fund.
These figures reflect past results and are not intended to predict future
performance. We often will compare our performance to the S&P 500(R) and other
indices.
Since 1986, the S&P 500 has produced an average annual total return of 14.79%.
The models used by the Fund will seek to produce a greater average annual total
return than that of the S&P 500 over the long term.
Total return measures the percentage change in the value of an investment in
[the shares of a fund] over time. It reflects all share price movements,
distributions and expenses. It assumes the reinvestment of all distributions.
Average annual total return is a measure of the yearly changes in the value of
the investment. It is the constant compound rate of return, which if applied to
the investment each year, would result in the actual total return over that
time. Other total return figures we show may differ. We may base them on
non-standard periods. We may also show aggregate or cumulative returns.
Yield refers to the income generated by an investment in a fund over a given
period. It is expressed as an annualized percentage rate. The Fund calculates
yields according to an SEC standard for all stock and bond funds. Because this
differs from other accounting methods, the Fund may quote a yield not equal the
income that class actually pays to you.

ANNUAL AND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT MAILINGS
Twice a year, the Fund provides you a report showing its performance and
outlining its investments. To reduce mailing costs, we combine these mailings by
household. If a household has multiple accounts and the same record address for
all the accounts, we send mailings for all accounts at that address in a single
package. If you do not want to combine mailings for your account, please write
to SchwabFunds(R) at the address on the front of this Prospectus. To request a
free copy of the Fund's Annual or Semi-Annual Report, call your local Schwab
office or call 800-2 NO-LOAD.
ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT
OF OUR FUND
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
GENERAL OVERSIGHT OF OUR FUND. The Board of Trustees and officers meet regularly
to review the Fund's investments, performance, expenses and other business
affairs.
THE INVESTMENT MANAGER. The Investment Manager, Charles Schwab Investment
Management, Inc. or CSIM, manages the Fund's business affairs. Its actions are
subject to the authority of the Board of Trustees and officers of Schwab Capital
Trust. The Investment Manager also is responsible for overall management of the
Fund's investments. The Investment Manager, founded in 1989, is a wholly owned
subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation. It also acts as investment manager
and administrator to the mutual funds in SchwabFunds Family(R), a family of 23
mutual funds. As of January 31, 1996, the SchwabFunds(R) had aggregate net
assets of approximately $33 billion.
CSIM's portfolio manager for the Fund is Geri Hom. She joined Schwab in March
1995 as Portfolio Manager - Equities and currently manages the four Schwab index
funds and the equity portions of the three Schwab Asset Director(R) Funds with
combined assets of over $1.7 billion. For four years before joining Schwab, she
was a Principal for Wells Fargo Nikko Investment Advisors.
Stephen B. Ward, CSIM's Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, also
participates in the management of the Fund.
The Investment Manager has retained Symphony Asset Management, Inc.
("Symphony"), 555 California Street, Suite 2975, San Francisco, California
94104, to serve as Sub-Adviser to the Fund. Symphony, a registered investment
advisor, was established in 1994 as a wholly owned subsidiary of BARRA, Inc.
BARRA, founded in 1975, provides innovative analytical models, software and
services. Symphony presently serves as Sub-Adviser to five other investment
companies and manages directly and indirectly over $650 million in institutional
and private account assets.
CSIM will manage the daily cash positions of the Fund and will monitor the risk
characteristics of the portfolio. Symphony, subject to the supervision of CSIM,
provides investment assistance and the day-to-day management of the Fund's
non-cash investments, as well as investment research and statistical
information.
Symphony's portfolio manager for the Fund is Praveen Gottipalli. Since May 1994,
he has been Symphony's Director of Investment. For more than five years prior
thereto, he was Director of the Active Strategies Group of BARRA, Inc.
TRANSFER AGENT AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES. Schwab serves as the Shareholder
Services Agent and Transfer Agent for the Fund. Schwab was established in 1971
and is America's largest discount broker. Schwab provides low-cost securities
brokerage and related financial services to approximately 3.3 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 January 31, 1996, the beneficial owner of approximately 20.1% 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
The Investment Manager provides investment management services under the terms
of its Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement with the Trust. For
these services, it is entitled to a graduated annual fee payable monthly from
the Fund. The rate is 0.74% of the first $1 billion of the Fund's average daily
net assets; 0.69% of the next $1 billion; and 0.64% of net assets over $2
billion.
The Investment Manager guarantees that, through at least July 1, 1997, the
management fees for the Fund will not exceed 0.35% of its average daily net
assets.
For its services as Transfer Agent and Shareholder Services Agent, Schwab is
entitled to receive annual fees from the Fund of 0.05% and 0.20%, respectively,
of its
10
<PAGE> 14
average daily net assets. Schwab may absorb certain expenses incurred by the
Fund for these services in order to limit its ratio of operating expenses.
The Investment Manager and Schwab also guarantee that, through at least July 1,
1997, total Fund operating expenses will not exceed 0.75% of the Fund's average
daily net assets For purposes of this guarantee, "operating expenses" do not
include 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 Fund's total return to shareholders.
The Investment Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee, payable monthly, of
XXX% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Sub-Adviser does not receive
compensation directly from the Fund.
Schwab serves as the distributor for the Fund but receives no compensation for
this service.
OTHER EXPENSES. The Trust pays the expenses of the Fund's operations. These
expenses include the fees and expenses for independent auditors, legal counsel
and custodians; the cost of maintaining books and records of account; taxes;
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 Fund seeks to keep transaction costs and other
expenses low.
The Trust generally allocates these expenses among the individual investment
portfolios or series ("Series") of the Trust, including the Fund. 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 Fund's securities transactions,
the Sub-Adviser uses its judgment to obtain the best price and execution. It
considers the full range and quality of brokerage services available in making
these determinations. For securities transactions in which Schwab is not a
principal, the Sub-Adviser may use Schwab or other qualified affiliated brokers
or dealers to execute the Fund's transactions. To do so, it must reasonably
believe that commissions (or prices) paid to and transaction quality received
from Schwab or other qualified affiliated brokers or dealers will be at least
comparable to those available from qualified non-affiliated brokers or dealers.
OTHER INFORMATION ON THE OPERATION OF OUR FUND
The Trust is a business trust formed under the laws of Massachusetts on May 7,
1993. It may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest in one
or more Series or classes. Currently it offers shares of seven Series. 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 distributions, assets
and liquidation of such Series except to the extent that such voting rights or
rights as to distributions, assets and liquidation vary among classes of a
Series.
Due to the relatively high cost of maintaining accounts with smaller holdings,
the Fund reserves the right to redeem your shares if, as a result of
redemptions, the aggregate value of your account drops below the Fund's $500
minimum balance requirement ($250 in the case of IRAs, other retirement plans
and custodial accounts). You will be given 30 days' advance written notice and a
chance to increase your Fund balance to the minimum requirement before the Fund
redeems your shares. Fund shares will automatically be redeemed should the
Schwab account in which they are carried be closed.
SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS. The Trust is not required to hold annual shareholders'
meetings and does not intend to do so. The Trust may, however, hold special
meetings in connection with certain matters. These include a change in a Fund's
fundamental policies, election or removal of Trustees, or approval of or
amendment to any investment advisory agreement. In addition, shareholders may
remove a Trustee 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 the Fund's management or
fundamental policies, we would ask you to vote as a shareholder. If we hold a
meeting 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 return. Shareholders have 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.
In addition, holders of shares will vote exclusively as a class on any matter
relating solely to their arrangement as a class and on any matter in which the
interest of that class differ from the interest of any other class in that Fund.
SHARE CERTIFICATES. To assist in minimizing administrative costs, share
certificates will not be issued.

Records regarding share ownership are maintained by the Transfer Agent.

market capitalization (share price times the number of shares outstanding).
SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R)-

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. Securities of
foreign companies have less volume, are less liquid and are more volatile than
securities of 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 endeavor 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 is 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
3
<PAGE> 21
arising out of the inability to fulfill a contract to sell such securities could
result in potential liability to the International Index Fund and the 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 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 that trade a small number of securities. Prices on these exchanges tend
to be volatile, and securities in these countries have historically 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.
DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS
Each of the Asset Director Funds may invest up to 5% of its total
assets in American Depositary Receipts and European Depositary Receipts (ADRs
and EDRs) which are receipts representing ownership of shares 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
4
<PAGE> 22
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, 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 may also 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
5
<PAGE> 23
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.
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 transactions
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 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 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 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
transaction's settlement date. 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 position and/or transaction hedging, the International
Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds may purchase or sell foreign currencies
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
ability of the International Index Fund and the
7
<PAGE> 25
Asset Director Funds to engage in hedging transactions may be limited by tax
considerations. Transaction and position hedging do not eliminate fluctuations
in the underlying prices of the securities which the Funds own or expect to
purchase or sell. They simply establish a rate of exchange that 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 that 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 ability of the
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds 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 International Index Fund and the Asset
Director Funds to purchase specified currency from the option holder at a
specified time before the expiration
8
<PAGE> 26
date. A put option written by the International Index Fund and the Asset
Director Funds would obligate the 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 that
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
9
<PAGE> 27
the International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds would have to exercise
their options in order to realize any 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 covered call
option writers, are unable to effect a closing purchase transaction in a
secondary market, they will not be able to sell the underlying currency (or
security denominated in that currency) until the option expires or they deliver
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. This could result in an exchange instituting special
procedures that 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 their
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
The Funds may purchase and sell various kinds of futures contracts and
options on futures contracts. 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. 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. The Funds are
not permitted to engage in speculative futures trading.
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 their 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 effect anticipated purchases. Similarly, the International
Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds can sell futures contracts on a
specified currency to protect against a decline in the value of such currency
and their portfolio securities that are denominated in such currency. The
International Index Fund and the Asset Director Funds can purchase futures
contracts on a foreign currency to fix the
10
<PAGE> 28
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 currencies are
traded guarantees that, if still open, the sale or purchase will be performed on
the settlement date.
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
that 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 that 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.
11
<PAGE> 29
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 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 Investment 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 be
substantially 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 will 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 expect the prices or currency exchange rates then available
in the applicable market to be less favorable than prices that are currently
available.
When buying or selling futures contracts, a Fund must deposit an amount
of cash, cash equivalents, or liquid, high-quality debt instruments with its
broker equal to a fraction of the contract amount. This amount is known as
"initial margin" and is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith
deposit on the contract, which will be returned to the Fund upon termination of
the futures contract, assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied.
Subsequent payments to and from the broker, known as "variation margin," will be
made at least daily as the price of the futures contract fluctuates and the
Fund's position in the contract becomes more or less valuable, a process known
as "marking-to-market."
Regulations of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC")
applicable to the Funds generally require
12
<PAGE> 30
that all of their futures transactions constitute "bona fide" hedging
transactions. As a result, a Fund will normally sell futures contracts to
protect against a decrease in the price of securities it owns but intends to
sell or purchase futures contracts to protect against an increase in the price
of securities it intends to purchase. In addition, the Funds may purchase and
sell futures contracts and options as a substitute for a comparable market
position in the underlying securities. Futures transactions need not constitute
"bona fide" hedging under CFTC regulations if the aggregate initial margin and
premiums required to establish such positions do not exceed 5% of each Fund's
net assets.
Risks Involved in Futures and Options Transactions. Futures and options
transactions involve risks which, in some strategies, can be substantial, due to
the low margin deposits required and the extremely high degree of leverage
involved in futures and options trading. However, to the extent the Funds'
futures and options practices are limited to hedging purposes, the Investment
Manager does not believe that the Funds are subject to the degree of risk
frequently associated with futures and options transactions. To the extent the
Funds engage in the use of futures and options on futures other than for hedging
purposes, the Funds may be subject to additional risk.
Three principal areas of risk are present when futures and options
contracts are used even in a hedging context. First, there may not always be a
liquid secondary market for a futures or option contract at the time when a Fund
seeks to "close out" its position. If a Fund were unable to "close out" a
futures or option position and prices moved adversely, the Fund would have to
continue to make daily cash payments to maintain its required margin, and if the
Fund had insufficient cash to meet this requirement, it may have to sell
portfolio securities at a disadvantageous time. In addition, the Fund might be
required to deliver the securities underlying futures or options contracts it
holds. Each Fund will seek to reduce the risk that it will be unable to "close
out" contracts by only entering into futures or options contracts that are
traded on national exchanges and for which there appears to be a liquid
secondary market.
It is also possible that changes in the prices of futures or options
contracts might correlate imperfectly, or not at all, with changes in the market
values of the securities being hedged. This situation could result from price
distortions in the futures or options markets due to, among other things, active
trading by speculators and use of offsetting "closing" transactions by other
investors seeking to avoid meeting additional margin deposit requirements. In
the event of significant market distortions, it is possible that a Fund could
lose money on futures or options contracts and experience appreciation in the
value of its portfolio securities, or vice versa.
Finally, adverse market movements could cause a Fund to lose up to its
full investment in an options contract and/or to experience substantial
13
<PAGE> 31
losses on an investment in a futures contract. However, barring such significant
market distortions, a similar result could be expected were the Fund to invest
directly in the securities being hedged. There is also the risk of loss by a
Fund of margin deposits in the event of bankruptcy of a broker with whom the
Fund has an open position in a futures contract or option.
The extent to which each Fund may purchase and sell futures, options,
equity index participations and index participation contracts may be limited by
the fact that each Fund intends to meet Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), requirements for qualification as a regulated investment
company. See "Federal Income Tax."
SWAPS
Each of the Asset Director Funds may enter into swaps on various
securities (such as U.S. government securities), securities indices, interest
rates, prepayment rates, foreign currencies or other financial instruments or
indices 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 Fund's 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
14
<PAGE> 32
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 that are investment grade, convertible preferred stocks and warrants. The
S&P 500 Fund will not purchase convertible securities directly. It may, however,
hold convertible securities to the extent that such holdings are incident to the
Fund's ownership of common stocks.
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.
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
price 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 and the
S&P 500 Fund may invest in common stocks of domestic companies principally
engaged
15
<PAGE> 33
in precious metal-related activities which include companies principally engaged
in the extraction, processing, distribution or marketing of precious metals 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 foreign
companies principally engaged in the precious metals industry. For further
disclosure on foreign securities, see "Foreign Investments" in this Statement of
Additional Information.
The Asset Director Funds and the S&P 500 Fund 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 and the S&P 500 Fund 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 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 U.S. government are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Treasury. While obligations of certain U.S. 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 U.S.
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 U.S. Treasury only when 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 interests in the pool
or pools
16
<PAGE> 34
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
indicates. 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 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 mortgage 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 U.S. government. 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.
17
<PAGE> 35
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, 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 U.S. government.
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 U.S. government.
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
18
<PAGE> 36
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 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 that 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
19
<PAGE> 37
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 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 of additional credit card charges made on an
account to the pool of assets supporting the related Credit Card Receivable
Securities. 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
20
<PAGE> 38
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, 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 that are acquired by the International Index Fund and the
Asset Director Funds outside the U.S. and that are publicly traded in the U.S.,
on a foreign securities exchange or in a foreign securities market are not
considered by the Funds to be illiquid assets provided that: (i) the Funds
acquire and hold the securities with the intention of reselling the securities
in the foreign trading market, (ii) the Funds reasonably believe they can
readily dispose of the securities in the foreign trading market or for cash in
the U.S., or (iii) 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
21
<PAGE> 39
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 regarding
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 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
22
<PAGE> 40
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, securities 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 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
net 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' portfolios may be increased if qualified institutional
buyers become uninterested in purchasing these securities contracts. The Funds
will limit
23
<PAGE> 41
their investments in liquid restricted securities to 5% of their net assets.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities. The Funds may hold securities on a
"when-issued" or "delayed delivery" basis. When-issued or delayed delivery
securities are securities purchased for future delivery at a stated price and
yield. Generally, a Fund will not pay for 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.
24
<PAGE> 42
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 U.S. 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 Fund
may purchase securities under such circumstances only to the extent that the
Schwab International Index(R) and the Schwab Small-Cap Index(TM), respectively,
is also so concentrated and that the S&P 500 Fund and the Analytics Fund may
purchase securities under such circumstances only to the extent that the S&P
500(R) is also so concentrated).
3) Invest more than 10% of its net 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 and the S&P 500 Fund, 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 SEC.
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> 43
agreements) that are publicly distributed or customarily purchased by
institutional investors, and (ii) lend its portfolio securities.
9) Borrow money or issue senior securities except that each Fund may
borrow 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> 44
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 SEC, 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.
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 mutual funds in the
SchwabFunds Family(R), a family of 23 mutual funds with approximately $33
billion in assets as of January 31, 1996. 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 May 30, 1997 with respect
to each of the 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
31
<PAGE> 49
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
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 February 28, 1997, 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 years ended October 31, 1995 and 1994 and for the fiscal
period from September 9, 1993 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1993,
the International Index Fund paid investment advisory fees of $665,000,
$474,000, and $0, respectively (fees were reduced by $415,000, $388,000, and
$98,000, respectively).
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
February 28, 1997, 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 year ended October 31, 1995 and 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 $332,000 and $152,000,
respectively (fees were reduced by $115,000 and $107,000, respectively).
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 each Asset
Director Fund will not exceed 0.89% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
S&P 500 Fund. For its advisory and administrative services to the S&P
500 Fund, the Investment Manager is entitled to receive a graduated annual fee,
payable monthly, of 0.36% of the Fund's average daily net assets not in excess
of $1 billion, and 0.33% of the next $1 billion; and 0.31% of such net assets
over $2 billion.
32
<PAGE> 50
The Investment Manager and Schwab have guaranteed that, through at
least February 28, 1997, the total operating expenses allocable to the Investor
Shares and the e.Shares(TM) will not exceed 0.49% and 0.28%, respectively, of
the average daily net assets of that class of shares.
Analytics Fund. For its advisory and administrative services to the
Analytics Fund, the Investment Manager is entitled to receive a graduated annual
fee, payable monthly, of 0.74% of the 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.
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").
SUB-ADVISER
The Investment Manager has entered into an investment sub-advisory
agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") with respect to the Asset Director
Funds and the Analytics Fund 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 $600
million in institutional and private account assets.
For the Asset Director Funds, 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
33
<PAGE> 51
evaluated on representative money market instruments. Risks and correlations of
the asset categories are measured from long-term return histories.
For the Analytics Fund, Symphony will make investment decisions for the
Fund's non-cash investments. Symphony will use quantitative techniques and
proprietary real-time databases and software models to continually identify and
rank stocks that exhibit a favorable combination of attributes that historically
have been associated with aggregate total returns greater than that of the S&P
500(R). Once rankings are determined, statistical methodologies will be used to
construct a portfolio of the most attractive stocks in terms of potential
long-term capital growth.
For Symphony's services relating to the Asset Director Funds, the
Investment Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual investment sub-advisory fee,
payable monthly, of 0.08% of the first $100 million of the Funds' aggregate
average daily net assets, 0.06% of the next $150 million, 0.04% of the next $600
million and 0.02% of the Funds' aggregate average daily net assets over $850
million. For the Analytics Fund, the Investment Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an
annual investment sub-advisory fee, payable monthly, of ___% of the Fund's
average daily net assets.
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: for the fiscal years ended October 31, 1995
and 1994 and for the fiscal period from September 9, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 1993, $143,000, $185,000, and $21,000 respectively.
Small-Cap Index Fund: for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995 and
for the fiscal period from December 3, 1993 (commencement of operations) to
October 31, 1994, $36,000 and $51,000, respectively.
DISTRIBUTOR
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
34

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND TURNOVER
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
In effecting securities transactions for the Funds, the Investment
Manager and the Sub-Adviser seek to obtain best price and execution. Subject to
the supervision of the Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager and the
Sub-Adviser 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 and the Sub-Adviser 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.
35
<PAGE> 53
In an attempt to obtain best execution for the Funds, the Investment
Manager and the Sub-Adviser 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 and the Sub-Adviser 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 and the
Sub-Adviser when providing advisory services to other investment advisory
clients, including mutual funds.
In determining when and to what extent to use Schwab or any other
affiliated broker-dealer as its broker for executing orders for the Funds on
securities exchanges, the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser will consider
(if relevant) whether the compensation to be paid Schwab or any other affiliated
broker-dealer 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 or any other affiliated
broker-dealer 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 or any other affiliated
broker-dealer within the meaning of 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 or any other affiliated broker-dealer have met the
standards.
Brokerage services provided by Schwab 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
36
<PAGE> 54
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 years ended October 31, 1995 and
1994 and for the fiscal period from September 9, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 1993, the International Index Fund paid brokerage
commissions of $54,718, $86,127, $170,195, respectively. For the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1995 and for the fiscal period from December 3, 1993
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1994, the Small-Cap Index Fund paid
brokerage commissions of $142,785 and $165,997, 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 (except the
Analytics Fund) 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. The Analytics
Fund expects that its portfolio turnover rate will not exceed 125%. A high
portfolio turnover rate will generally result in higher brokerage costs and
possible tax consequences. The International Index Fund's portfolio turnover
rate for the fiscal years ended October 31, 1995 and 1994 was 0% and 6%,
respectively. The Small-Cap Index Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 1995 and for the fiscal period from December 3, 1993
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1994 was 24% and 16%, respectively.
From time to time, each Fund may compare its portfolio turnover rate
with that of other mutual funds as reported by independent sources.
37
<PAGE> 55
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, U.S. 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 U.S. 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
38
<PAGE> 56
income must be distributed during the 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 are 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 in which they were 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
39
<PAGE> 57
certified statement that he or she is not subject to "backup withholding." This
"backup withholding" is not an additional 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 PFICs, 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
40
<PAGE> 58
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
daily based on their market value. Each security held by the Funds that 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 year ended October 31, 1995 and for the
fiscal period from September 9, 1993 (commencement of operations) to October 31,
1995, the International Index Fund's average annual total return was 3.35% and
5.95%, respectively. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995 and for the
fiscal period from December 3, 1993 (commencement of operations) to October 31,
1995, the Small-Cap Index Fund's total return was 17.11% and 8.97%,
respectively.

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 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 their historical 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
- -
42
<PAGE> 60
- - 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
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, while the Index does not have these
expenses. In addition, various factors, such as holding a cash balance, may
cause the Funds' performance to be higher or lower than that of the Index.
THE SCHWAB INTERNATIONAL
INDEX(R)
The Schwab International Index(R) is a broad-based stock market index
43
<PAGE> 61
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(R) 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, 1995 have been exceeded by very few
types of securities investments. Because the unmanaged performance of the U.S.
stock market 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. 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, returns in 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, have significantly exceeded
the returns of U.S. Treasury Bills, CDs, corporate bonds and inflation.
THE S&P 500 INDEX
The Standard and Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, known as
44
<PAGE> 62
the S&P 500 Index, is representative of the performance of the U.S. stock
market. The Index consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and
industry group representation. It is a market-value weighted index (stock price
times number of shares outstanding), with each stock's weight in the Index
proportionate to its market value. The S&P does not contain the 500 largest
stocks, as measured by market capitalization. Although many of the stocks in the
Index are among the largest, there are also some relatively small companies in
the Index. Those companies, however, are generally established companies within
their industry group. S&P identifies important industry groups within the U.S.
economy and then allocates a representative sample of stocks with each group to
the S&P 500. There are four major industry sectors within the Index:
Industrials, Utilities, Financial and Transportation.
ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGIES
USING SCHWABFUNDS(R)
Shareholders of SchwabFunds may wish to invest in the SchwabFunds as
components of their personal asset allocation plan. They may also choose to
invest in the Schwab Asset Director Funds, which offer the benefits of asset
allocation in a single fund. 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
investment products that do not employ
45
<PAGE> 63
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
U.S. 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(R)
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 gain distributions. 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
48
<PAGE> 66
the shareholders, to the same extent as the stockholders of a Massachusetts
business corporation; and (6) such additional matters as may be required by 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 a majority of shares entitled to vote shall be
a quorum for the transaction of business at a shareholders' meeting, except that
where any provision of law, of the Declaration of Trust or of these Bylaws
permits or requires that (i) holders of any series shall vote as a series, then
a majority of the aggregate number of shares of that series entitled to vote
shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by
that series; or (ii) holders of any class shall vote as a class, then a majority
of the aggregate number of shares of that class entitled to vote shall be
necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by that class.
Any lesser number shall be sufficient for adjournments. Any adjourned session or
sessions may be held, within a reasonable time after the date set for the
original meeting, without the necessity of further notice. 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
49
<PAGE> 67
a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is
considered remote, because it is limited to circumstances in which a disclaimer
is 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 May ____, 1996, Charles Schwab and Co., Inc., 101 Montgomery St.,
San Francisco, CA 94104 directly owned 100% of the outstanding shares of the
Analytics Fund.
In addition, as of January 31, 1996, the officers and trustees of the
Trust, as a group, owned of record or beneficially 1.3%, 2.3% and 1.7% of the
outstanding voting securities of the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund, the Asset
Director--High Growth Fund and the Asset Director--Conservative Growth,
respectively. As of January 31, 1996, the officers and trustees of the Trust, as
a group, owned of record or beneficially less than 1% of the outstanding voting
securities of the remaining series of Schwab Capital Trust.
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Each Fund has set minimum initial investment requirements, as disclosed
in their respective Prospectuses. 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended October 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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(R), 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 International Index(R), 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.
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.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended October 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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 gain aggregated $12,478,000, of which $22,819,000 related to
appreciated securities and $10,341,000 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
$1,080,000 during the year ended October 31, 1995, before the Investment Manager
reduced its fee (see Note 5).
Sub-advisory agreement -- Prior to June 30, 1995, the Investment Manager had a
sub-advisory agreement with Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. ("Dimensional") under
which Dimensional performed day-to-day portfolio management for the Fund.
Dimensional did not receive compensation directly from the Fund. However, the
Investment Manager did pay 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. Effective June 30, 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 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 $386,000, 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 $43,000
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, 1995, 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. For the year
ended October 31, 1995, the total of such fees reduced by the Investment Manager
was $415,000 and the total of such fees reduced by Schwab was $162,000.
6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term obligations,
aggregated $43,932,000 and $9,597,000, respectively, for the year ended October
31, 1995.
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, 1995, total early withdrawal fees
retained by the Fund amounted to $49,000.

8. COMPOSITION OF NET ASSETS
At October 31, 1995, net assets consisted of:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Capital paid in $165,464,000
Accumulated undistributed net investment income 2,051,000
Accumulated net realized loss on investments sold and
foreign currency transactions (402,000)
Net unrealized gain on investments 12,478,000
Net unrealized gain on translating assets and liabilities
into the reporting currency 21,000
------------
Total $179,612,000
============
</TABLE>
The Fund follows 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, certain
reclassifications to increase undistributed net investment income and net
realized loss on investments sold and foreign currency transactions by $39,000
and $15,000 respectively, and to decrease capital paid in by $24,000 have
occurred. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the
Fund.
At October 31, 1995, the Fund's Statement of Net Assets included liabilities of
$149,000 for Fund shares redeemed and $61,000 for investment advisory and
administration fee 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, 1995, 1994 and 1993, would have been 1.22%, 1.30% and 2.10%*,
respectively, and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets would
have been 1.08%, .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, 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, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended October 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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
$447,000 during the year ended October 31, 1995, before the Investment Manager
reduced its fee (see Note 5).
Sub-advisory agreement -- Prior to May 1, 1995, the Investment Manager had a
sub-advisory agreement with Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. ("Dimensional"),
under which Dimensional performed day-to-day portfolio management for the Fund.
Dimensional did not receive compensation directly from the Fund. However, the
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
related to the Trust's unaffiliated trustees.

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, 1995, 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. For the year
ended October 31, 1995, the total of such fees reduced by the Investment Manager
was $115,000 and the total of such fees reduced by Schwab was $188,000.
6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term obligations,
aggregated $69,455,000 and $27,327,000, respectively, for the year ended October
31, 1995.
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 year ended October 31, 1995, total early withdrawal fees
retained by the Fund amounted to $41,000.

The Investment Manager and Schwab have reduced a portion of their fees and

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, 1995 and 1994, would have been 1.02% and 1.19%*, respectively, and
the ratio of net investment income to average net assets would have been .34%

Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), are advised by the

under common control with Registrant.

Item 27. Indemnification.
Article VIII of Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of Trust (Exhibit
(1) hereto, which is incorporated by reference) provides in effect that
Registrant will indemnify its officers and trustees against all liabilities and
expenses, including but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of
judgments, in compromise, or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees reasonably
incurred by any such officer or trustee in connection with the defense or
disposition of any action, suit, or other proceeding. However, in accordance
with Section 17(h) and 17(i) of the 1940 Act and its own terms, said Agreement
and Declaration of Trust does not protect any person against any liability to
Registrant or its shareholders to which he or she would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office. In any event,
Registrant will comply with 1940 Act Releases No. 7221 and 11330 respecting the
permissible boundaries of indemnification by an investment company of its
officers and trustees.
C-6
<PAGE> 140
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), may be permitted to trustees, officers
and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling
person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
