SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R) FUNDS
THE SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR - HIGH GROWTH FUND, THE SCHWAB ASSET
DIRECTOR - BALANCED GROWTH FUND, AND THE SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR -
CONSERVATIVE GROWTH FUND (THE "FUNDS") are a family of three asset allocation
funds that provide diversification among major investment categories. Each Fund
seeks to meet its investment objective by investing, either directly or through
investments in underlying affiliated mutual funds ("SchwabFunds(R)"), in a
different mix of stocks, bonds and cash-equivalents. Each Fund will employ an
index-based approach to capturing the returns inherent in the asset categories,
and each is designed to provide varying degrees of exposure to the growth
potential of the stock market. Each Fund is a diversified investment portfolio
of Schwab Capital Trust (the "Trust"), a no-load, open-end management investment
company.
ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS: THIS PROSPECTUS PROVIDES YOU WITH CONCISE INFORMATION

KEY FEATURES OF THE FUNDS
STRATEGY: Each Fund invests in a diversified mix of stocks, bonds and
cash-equivalents, either directly or through investments in other
SchwabFunds(R). Research shows that the greatest impact on investment returns is
due to the asset allocation decision (the mix of stocks, bonds and
cash-equivalents) rather than market timing or individual stock and bond
selections. A study of the performance of pension funds indicated that over 90%
of the performance was determined by asset mix.*
The primary difference between the Funds is the proportion invested in stocks or
stock mutual funds. Each Fund targets a different mix of investments as
described below and on the following page. Each Fund employs an index-based
approach to capturing the returns inherent in each asset class. This mix among
major asset classes will vary within defined ranges based on the Investment
Manager's determination of the relative attractiveness of securities in the
financial markets. For more detailed information, see "Investment Objectives and
Policies."
SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R)
- HIGH GROWTH FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: to provide you with high capital growth with less
volatility than an all-stock portfolio. This Fund provides the greatest exposure
to various stock categories, including domestic large and small company stocks
and international stocks.
[The following is a pie chart of the target mix for the SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR
- HIGH GROWTH FUND of Bonds 15%, Cash 5% and Stocks 80%]
*Financial Analysts Journal; Brinson, Singer, Beebower; May - June 1991
SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R)
- BALANCED GROWTH FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: to provide you with maximum total return, including both
capital growth and income. This Fund represents a more balanced approach to
stocks and bonds.
[The following is a pie chart of the target mix for the SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR
- BALANCED GROWTH FUND Cash 5%, Bonds 35% and Stocks 60%]
SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R)
- CONSERVATIVE GROWTH FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: to provide you with income and more growth potential than
an all-bond portfolio. This Fund's stock component is designed to help offset
inflation.
[The following is a pie chart of the target mix for the SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR
- CONSERVATIVE GROWTH FUND Cash 5%, Bonds 55% and Stocks 40%]
PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT. Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc., the
Investment Manager, currently manages the SchwabFunds Family(R) of 26 mutual
funds with over $45 billion in assets as of February 4, 1997. For more details

list of the SchwabFunds, see the glossary.

MARKET PERFORMANCE. For the 20 years ended 1996, the asset categories in which
the Funds invest have provided the following average annual returns:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Large company stocks
(S&P 500 Index(R))............... 14.49%
Small company stocks (Ibbotson and
BARRA small cap index)........... 16.60%
International stocks (MSCI EAFE)... 14.62%
Bonds (Ibbotson and Lehman
long-term government bond
index)........................... 9.52%
Cash-equivalents (commercial
paper A1P1)...................... 8.39%
</TABLE>
* Source: BARRA, Inc. Indices do not include fees such as those charged by the
Funds. Past performance of indices does not necessarily reflect future
performance results of the Funds.
LOW-COST INVESTING. You pay no sales fees or charges when you buy or sell shares
of the Funds. Additionally, the Funds were designed with operating expenses
below the industry average, which helps provide more competitive returns.
The Investment Manager and Schwab guarantee that each Fund's total fund
operating expenses, including the impact of expenses of the underlying
SchwabFunds(R) in which the Fund invests, will not exceed 0.89% through at least
February 28, 1998. After this date, the guarantees may be terminated, modified
or continued. The industry average for total operating expenses of asset
allocation funds is 1.33%.*
[The following is a Column Graph comparing total operating expenses of Schwab
Asset Director Funds at 80% to an Average Asset Allocation Fund at 1.33%]
* Source: Morningstar, Inc., December, 1996.
You may be charged a fee for your Schwab account; please refer to footnote 3 to
the Expense Table. For more details, see "Investing in Our Funds" and
"Organization and Management of the Funds - Operating Fees and Expenses."
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES. Schwab's professional representatives are available
toll-free 24 hours a day at 800-2 NO-LOAD to service your account. Schwab also
enables you to execute your trading requests through electronic products and
services such as StreetSmart(R), e.Schwab(TM), The Equalizer(R), TeleBroker(R)
and the World Wide Web (address: http://www.schwab.com). See "Investing in Our
Funds."
CONVENIENT REPORTING. You receive regular Schwab statements that combine all
your investment activity including mutual funds, in one report.
FREE AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN. Schwab's free Automatic Investment Plan allows
you to make regular investments in the Funds in amounts and at intervals that
you select. For more information, see "Investing in Our Funds - Schwab's
Automatic Investment Plan."
RETIREMENT PLANS. Schwab offers tax-advantaged retirement plans for which the
Funds may be a particularly appropriate investment. For more information, see
"Investing in Our Funds - Tax-Advantaged Retirement Plans."
SPECIAL RISK CONSIDERATIONS. The Funds may invest in foreign securities and
small company stocks, which may pose special risks. Foreign securities may
present unique investment opportunities; however, international investing
involves risks not associated with domestic investing. Foreign securities
markets are not always as efficient as those in the United States and are often
less liquid and more
3
<PAGE> 7
volatile. Small company stocks have historically been characterized by greater
total returns, greater volatility of returns and lower dividend yields than
large company stocks. As of December 31, 1996, the market capitalizations of the
small companies in which the Funds may invest ranged from $306 million to $996
million. This market capitalization range may fluctuate in the future.
In addition, each Fund may seek to achieve its respective investment objective
by investing all or a portion of its assets in underlying SchwabFunds(R). As a
result, you may pay higher expenses by investing in a Fund than you would if you
invested in these underlying SchwabFunds directly. When the Funds invest in
affiliated mutual funds, Fund investors would, absent special arrangements, bear
not only the Funds' expenses, but also indirectly bear the expenses of the
underlying SchwabFunds. Pursuant to the Investment Manager's and Schwab's
guarantee, however, these expenses may be limited in their impact on investors
in the Funds through at least February 28, 1998. The Funds investments in
SchwabFunds are subject to the risks ordinarily associated with investing in
these funds.
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are the fees and charges you pay for buying or
selling shares of a fund. You pay no sales fees or charges when you buy or sell
shares of our Funds.
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES include investment management fees paid to the
Investment Manager, transfer agency fees and other expenses. These expenses
cover, for example, services such as investment research, management of the
Funds, maintenance of shareholder records and the issuance of shareholder
statements. When the Funds invest in other SchwabFunds, you, as a Fund investor,
bear not only the Funds' expenses, but also indirectly bear the expenses of the
underlying SchwabFunds. Pursuant to the Investment Manager's and Schwab's
guarantee, however, these expenses may be limited in their impact on your
investment in the Funds. (See the table below.) You would not incur the Funds'
expenses as detailed below if you were to perform your own review and analysis
and invest in the affiliated underlying SchwabFunds directly.
Each Fund pays its own operating expenses from its income. The net income amount
is factored into the dividends paid to shareholders and into the Fund's share
price. As a shareholder, you are not charged any of these expenses directly.

at least February 28, 1998. If there were no reduc-

tion, the maximum management fee would be 0.74% of each Fund's average daily
net assets. (See "Organization and Management of the Funds - Operating Fees
and Expenses.")
2 These amounts reflect the guarantees by the Investment Manager and Schwab
that, through at least February 28, 1998, each Fund's total fund operating
expenses, including the impact of the operating expenses of underlying
SchwabFunds(R) in which a Fund invests, will not exceed 0.89% of each Fund's
average daily net assets. Without these guarantees, estimated other expenses
and total fund operating expenses for High Growth Fund, the Balanced Growth
Fund and the Conservative Growth Fund, which do not reflect the expenses
charged by underlying SchwabFunds in which each Fund may invest, would be
0.76% and 1.50%; 0.83% and 1.56%; and 1.32% and 2.05%, respectively, of that
Fund's average daily net assets.
3 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 ("IRAs") with balances of $10,000 or more by September 15, 1997 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 Funds" for information regarding minimum balance and
investment requirements.
EXAMPLE. You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment in the
Funds, assuming (1) 5% annual return and (2) redemption at the end of each
period.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE ONLY AND DOES NOT REPRESENT PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES. ACTUAL
EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THE EXPENSES SHOWN IN THE EXAMPLE. This
example reflects the guarantees by the Investment Manager and Schwab that,
through at least February 28, 1998, total fund operating expenses, including the
impact of expenses paid by the underlying SchwabFunds in which the Funds invest,
will not exceed 0.89% of each Fund's average daily net assets. Please remember
that, while this example assumes a 5% annual return on investment, each Fund's
actual returns may be more or less than the 5% used in this example.
The purpose of the table above is to help you understand the various costs and
expenses you will bear directly or indirectly when you invest in the Funds. See

MATCHING THE FUNDS TO YOUR
INVESTMENT NEEDS
This family of three asset allocation funds provides diversification among major
investment categories. Each Fund seeks to meet its investment objective by
investing in a different mix of stocks, bonds and cash-equivalents, either
directly or indirectly through investments in other SchwabFunds(R). All three
Funds are designed to provide exposure to the growth potential of the stock
market with varying degrees of volatility due to the different asset
allocations. For more details, see "Investment Objectives and Policies."
An investor's strategy might include investing in one or a combination of these
Funds to match his or her investment time horizon and risk tolerance.
THE SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R) - HIGH GROWTH FUND may be appropriate for you if
you have a long-term investment horizon and want the growth potential from stock
investments. You should be comfortable with the risks of the stock market but do
not want the volatility of an all-stock investment.
THE SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R) - BALANCED GROWTH FUND may be appropriate for you
if you have an intermediate-term investment horizon and want a more balanced
approach to your investment. You should want the growth potential from stock
investments but are willing to achieve it more slowly and with less volatility
than that provided by the Schwab Asset Director - High Growth Fund.
THE SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R) - CONSERVATIVE GROWTH FUND may be appropriate for
you if you have a short-term investment horizon but still want some exposure to
the stock market. You should want returns that keep pace with inflation but want
to limit volatility to the extent possible.
RISK CONSIDERATIONS: The Funds seek to reduce overall risk by diversifying
investments among major asset categories and sub-categories. However, depending
on the Investment Manager's asset allocation decisions with regard to the mix of
stocks, bonds and cash-equivalents, and because the Investment Manager employs
an index-based approach to capturing the returns inherent in each asset class,
shareholders in the Funds may be exposed to the risks associated with each
particular asset type in varying amounts. Stock risk is the possibility that
stock prices will decline over short or even extended periods. Small-company and
international stocks will typically be included in the mix and pose special
risks. Bond risk is the potential for decline in the market value of bonds due
to interest rate changes or the inability of an issuer to meet its obligations.
Diversification among asset categories will not necessarily protect the Funds
from loss.
You should pay special attention to the description of derivatives and foreign
securities on pages 9 through 13, for these investments carry potentially more
risk than the Funds' other investments, whether or not investments in
derivatives and foreign securities are made directly or through the underlying
SchwabFunds. The Funds may engage in futures contracts, options, spot foreign
currency exchange contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and
swap agreements.
Please refer to the "Investments and Investment Techniques Used by Our Funds"
section in this Prospectus and "Investment Securities" in the SAI for a more
detailed discussion of the risks associated with particular types of
investments.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
AND POLICIES
THE SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R) FUNDS are a family of three asset allocation funds
that provide diversification among major investment categories. Each Fund seeks
to meet its investment objective by investing, directly or through investments
in underlying SchwabFunds(R), in a different mix of stocks, bonds and cash-
equivalents. Each Fund will employ an index-based approach to capturing the
returns inherent in the asset categories, and each is designed to provide
varying degrees of exposure to the growth potential of the stock market. Each
Fund may invest all of its assets in SchwabFunds or may invest all of its assets
directly in stocks, bonds, cash equivalents or other securities, or any
combination of the above.
A target mix and a defined range have been established for each asset category
in each of the Funds. The Investment Manager will allocate assets among stocks,
bonds and cash-equivalents either directly or through other SchwabFunds,
emphasizing investment in the most attractive asset category. The Investment
Manager also consults a Tactical Asset Allocation Model which measures the
relative value of each asset category and makes recommendations for allocations
within the defined ranges. The Funds may also make other investments, either
directly or through other SchwabFunds, that do not fall within the asset
categories. The investment objectives stated below are fundamental to each Fund
and may be changed only with shareholder approval. Because any investment
involves risk, the Funds cannot guarantee achieving these objectives.
SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R) - HIGH GROWTH FUND
The investment objective of the Schwab Asset Director - High Growth Fund is to
provide you with high capital growth with less volatility than an all stock
portfolio. This Fund provides the greatest exposure to various stock categories,
including domestic large and small company stocks and international stocks.
The Schwab Asset Director - High Growth Fund's target mix as well as the defined
ranges for the different asset categories are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
TARGET DEFINED

</TABLE>
SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R) - BALANCED GROWTH FUND
The investment objective of the Schwab Asset Director - Balanced Growth Fund is
to provide you with maximum total return, including both capital growth and
income. This Fund represents a more balanced approach to stocks and bonds.
The Schwab Asset Director - Balanced Growth Fund's target mix as well as the
defined ranges for the different asset categories are as follows:

SCHWAB ASSET DIRECTOR(R) - CONSERVATIVE GROWTH FUND
The investment objective of the Schwab Asset Director - Conservative Growth Fund
is to provide you with income and more growth

offset inflation.

Investment in an underlying SchwabFund(R) which, in turn, invests primarily in
an asset category or stock sub-category will be considered as an investment in
the relevant asset category or stock sub-category.
INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES USED BY OUR FUNDS
STOCKS, BONDS AND CASH-EQUIVALENTS
Our Funds will invest in stocks, bonds, and cash-equivalents directly or
indirectly through underlying SchwabFunds in varying proportions, according to
the Funds' target mixes and defined ranges. Under normal market conditions, the
Investment Manager intends to utilize an index-based approach to investing
within each asset class. The Investment Manager generally seeks to track the
performance of the S&P 500 Index(R) for the large company stock sub-category,
the Schwab Small-Cap Index(R) for the small company stock sub-category, and the
Schwab International Index(R) for the international stock sub-category, by
investing in all or a representative sample of the common stocks comprising the
relevant index. The Investment Manager may use one or more of the following
indices for the bond and cash asset classes: the Lehman General Government
Index, the Lehman 20+ Treasury Index or the Lehman 3-Month Treasury Index. The
sub-categories of the Funds will not track the relevant indices perfectly
because, unlike indices, funds pay expenses and trading costs.
The Investment Manager believes that, over the long term, the performance of the
Funds' categories or sub-categories will correlate with that of the relevant
index. The Investment Manager retains the right to adopt a different portfolio
management style without prior notice to shareholders, and may change, in its
discretion, the indices that it uses for tracking purposes. The Funds' indexing
approach for each sub-category provides shareholders with many of the potential
benefits to be realized from both an asset allocation strategy and an indexing
approach with one investment.
STOCK ALLOCATION: The Funds will invest, either directly or through investments
in underlying SchwabFunds, in diversified portfolios of common stocks within
some or all of the following stock sub-categories: large company, small company
and international stocks. Common stocks represent an ownership, or equity
interest, in a company. Although common stocks have a history of long-term
growth in value, their prices tend to fluctuate in the short-term.
LARGE COMPANY STOCKS: The Funds' large company stock allocation will be invested
either directly or indirectly in all or a representative sample of the stocks
which comprise the S&P 500 Index(R) (or other similar index).
SMALL COMPANY STOCKS: The Funds' small company stock allocation will be invested
either directly or indirectly in all or a representative sample of stocks
selected from the Schwab Small-Cap Index, which consists of the second 1,000
largest U.S. operating corporations, as
9
<PAGE> 13
measured by market capitalization. Small company stocks have historically been
characterized by greater total returns, greater volatility of returns and lower
dividend yields than large company stocks.
INTERNATIONAL STOCKS: The Funds' international stock allocation will be invested
either directly or indirectly in all or a representative sample of stocks
selected from the Schwab International Index(R), which consists of large
non-U.S. operating corporations, as measured by market capitalization. These
international stocks are issued by large, publicly traded companies from
countries around the world with major developed securities markets, excluding
the United States. Each Fund may also invest either directly or indirectly up to
5% of its net assets in the stocks and bonds of issuers in developing countries;
see "Other Assets" for details.
Investments in international stocks will generally be denominated in a foreign
currency, and the value of the Funds' investments will be affected by changes in
currency exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar in addition to normal market
fluctuations. The rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and other currencies
is determined by the forces of supply and demand in the foreign exchange market,
by changes in interest rates, as well as by political and economic factors.
Other risks and considerations of international investing include: differences
in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; generally higher
transaction costs on foreign portfolio transactions; small trading volumes and
generally lower liquidity of foreign stock markets, which may result in greater
price volatility; foreign withholding taxes payable on the Funds' portfolio
holdings, which may reduce dividend income payable to shareholders; the
possibility of expropriation, nationalization or confiscatory taxation; adverse
changes in investment or exchange control regulations; political instability,
which could affect U.S. investment in foreign countries; and potential
restrictions on the flow of international capital.
BOND ALLOCATION: Bond investments for the Funds will consist primarily of U.S.
Government obligations, investment grade corporate debt obligations and
asset-backed securities, as well as mutual funds that invest primarily in these
instruments. The U.S. Government securities in which the Funds may invest
include obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its agencies
and instrumentalities, and may consist of bills, notes, bonds, discount notes,
stripped government securities and other debt securities. Not all obligations
issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies are backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States. The Funds may also buy domestic and foreign
corporate debt obligations having floating or fixed rates of interest.
Asset-backed securities, including mortgage-related securities, may also be
included in the Funds' portfolios. Asset-backed securities are secured by
company receivables, home equity loans, truck and auto loans, leases and credit
card receivables. Mortgage-backed securities are securities collateralized by
pools of mortgage loans and are assembled by various governmental agencies and
organizations, such as GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. When interest rates decline, there
is an increased likelihood that the mortgages underlying a mortgage-backed
security will be pre-paid, resulting in the loss of any unamortized premium paid
for the securities and the probability of having to reinvest the proceeds at
lower rates. The bond category also includes repurchase agreements
collateralized by eligible investments.
10
<PAGE> 14
The corporate debt obligations and asset-backed obligations in which the Funds
invest will be rated in one of the four highest categories ("BBB-" or better) by
a nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO") and will be
considered investment grade bonds. In addition, the Funds may invest in
underlying SchwabFunds(R) that primarily invest in corporate debt obligations or
asset-backed obligations rated in one of the four highest categories by an
NRSRO.
The market value of the Funds' bond investments will change in response to
interest rate fluctuations and other factors. During periods of falling interest
rates, the values of outstanding debt securities generally rise; conversely,
during periods of rising interest rates, the values of these securities
generally decline. While securities with longer maturities tend to produce
higher yields, the prices of longer maturity securities are also subject to
greater market fluctuations as a result of changes in interest rates. Changes by
NRSROs in the rating of any debt security and in the ability of an issuer to
make payments of interest and principal also affect the value of these
investments. Except under condition of default, and except in some circumstances
when the Funds own bonds through mutual funds, changes in the value of portfolio
securities will not affect cash income derived from these securities but will
affect the Funds' net asset values.
CASH ALLOCATION: The Funds may invest in the following types of U.S. dollar
denominated short-term money market instruments, including mutual funds that
invest primarily in these instruments, but only when the Investment Manager has
determined they present moderate credit risk:
1. Bank certificates of deposit, time deposits, or bankers' acceptances of
domestic banks (including their foreign branches), U.S. branches of foreign
banks and foreign branches of foreign banks, having capital, surplus and
undivided profits in excess of $100 million.
2. Commercial paper rated in one of the two highest rating categories by an
NRSRO, or commercial paper or notes of issuers with an unsecured debt issue
outstanding currently rated in one of the two highest rating categories by any
NRSRO where the obligation is on the same or a higher level of priority and
collateralized to the same extent as the rated issue.
3. Obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or
instrumentalities.
4. Repurchase agreements involving obligations that are suitable for investment
under the categories set forth above.
OTHER ASSETS
The Funds may also make investments (or invest in mutual funds that make
investments) that do not fall within the asset classes described above. These
include warrants, convertible securities, preferred stocks, real-estate related
investments, precious metal related investments, American and European
Depository Receipts, and stocks and bonds of issuers in developing countries.
Each of these investments is limited to 5% of each Fund's net assets. In
addition, the Funds may invest in other securities in the future or other
securities not presently contemplated or currently available. These additional
investments must be consistent with the Funds' investment objective and must be
legally permissible investments for the Funds.
THE FUNDS AND UNDERLYING SCHWABFUNDS IN WHICH THE FUNDS MAY INVEST MAY USE
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS in order to remain
11
<PAGE> 15
effectively fully invested in proportions consistent with the Investment
Manager's current asset allocation strategy in an efficient and cost effective
manner. Specifically, each Fund may enter into futures contracts and options
thereon provided that the aggregate deposits required on these contracts do not
exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets. In addition, certain provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), may limit each Fund's
use of futures contracts and options.
Futures contracts and options may be used for several reasons: to reallocate the
Funds' assets among stocks, bonds and money market instruments while minimizing
transaction costs; to maintain cash reserves while simulating full investment;
to facilitate trading; to seek higher investment returns; or to simulate full
investment when a futures contract is priced more attractively or is otherwise
considered more advantageous than the underlying security or index.
Because the transaction costs of futures contracts and options may be lower than
the costs of investing in stocks or bonds directly, it is expected that the use
of futures contracts may reduce the Funds' total transaction costs. Also,
because futures contracts require only a small initial margin deposit, the Funds
would then be able to simultaneously maintain a cash reserve for potential
redemptions and simulate full investment. In the event of net redemptions from
the Funds, sufficient futures contracts would be sold to avoid any leveraging of
the Funds' assets.
Futures contracts and options pose certain risks when the Funds make direct
investments in these instruments. The primary risks associated with the use of
futures contracts and options include: imperfect correlation between the change
in market value of the securities held by the Funds and the prices of futures
contracts and options, and possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a
futures contract and the resulting inability to close a futures position prior
to its maturity date. The risk of imperfect correlation will be minimized by
investing only in those contracts the behavior of which is expected to resemble
that of the Funds' underlying securities. The risk that the Funds will be unable
to close out a futures position will be minimized by entering into these
transactions on a national exchange with an active and liquid secondary market.
The risk of loss in trading futures contracts in some strategies can be
substantial, due both to the low margin deposits required and the extremely high
degree of leverage involved in futures pricing. As a result, a relatively small
price movement in a futures contract may result in immediate and substantial
loss (or gain) to the investor. While futures contracts and options can be used
as leveraged instruments, the Funds may not use futures contracts or options to
leverage their portfolios. When investing in futures contracts, the Funds will
segregate cash, cash-equivalents or liquid, high-quality debt instruments in the
amount of the underlying obligation. The underlying SchwabFunds(R) may purchase
futures and option contracts for a variety of reasons under similar conditions
and with similar risk of loss.
ADJUSTING INVESTMENT EXPOSURE. In addition to futures and options, each Fund may
use a variety of techniques to increase or decrease its exposure to changing
security prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices or
other factors that affect security values. These techniques may involve entering
into spot foreign currency exchange contracts, forward foreign currency exchange
contracts
12
<PAGE> 16
and swap agreements. These techniques may be referred to as derivative
transactions. The Funds may also sell securities short if at the time of the
short sale the Fund owns or has the right to own securities equivalent in kind
and amount to the securities sold short at no additional cost. The Investment
Manager can use these practices to adjust the risk and return characteristics of
a Fund's portfolio. If the Investment Manager judges market conditions
incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not correlate well with the Funds'
investments, these techniques could result in a loss, regardless of whether the
intent was to reduce risk or increase return. These techniques may increase the
volatility of the Funds and may involve a small investment of cash relative to
the magnitude of the risk assumed. In addition, these techniques could result in
a loss if the counterparty to the transaction does not perform as agreed. Each
of these techniques will be limited to 5% of each Fund's net assets. Please
refer to the sections in the SAI entitled "Investment Securities" and
"Investment Restrictions" for a more detailed discussion of these techniques and
the risks associated with them.
ILLIQUID SECURITIES. Pursuant to a fundamental policy, as set forth in the SAI,
each 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 a Fund has valued the instrument. The absence of a trading market can make
it difficult to ascertain the market value of illiquid securities.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. Each Fund may purchase securities
on a "when-issued" or "delayed delivery" basis. When-issued or delayed delivery
securities are securities purchased for future delivery at a stated price and
yield. Generally, a Fund will not pay for these 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 these
securities may change as the prices of securities in the stock market increase
or decrease, or as interest rates change. Default by the other party to the
agreement may result in a loss to a Fund.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Each of our Funds may engage in repurchase agreements. 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, a 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 Funds may not borrow money except for temporary purposes
to meet redemption requests that could not otherwise be met without immediately
selling portfolio securities. A Fund may borrow an amount up to one-third of the
value of a Fund's total assets and may pledge up to one-third of the Fund's net
assets to secure these borrowings. No Fund may borrow for leverage purposes.
Each Fund's borrowing policy, as set forth in the SAI, is fundamental to each
Fund. Borrowing money may cause greater fluctuations in a Fund's share price.
SECURITIES LENDING. Each Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of its portfolio securities
to broker-dealers as a means of increasing income.
13
<PAGE> 17
These loans must be fully collateralized at all times. As with any
collateralized loan, there are risks of delay in recovery or even losses of
rights in the assets loaned should the borrower fail financially.
MUTUAL FUNDS. As described above, the Funds will purchase shares of other mutual
funds managed by the Investment Manager, in order to achieve their objectives.
When a Fund invests in underlying SchwabFunds(R), you, as a Fund investor,
would, absent special arrangements, bear not only the Fund's expenses, but also
indirectly bear the expenses of the underlying SchwabFunds. Pursuant to the
Investment Manager's and Schwab's guarantee, however, these expenses may be
limited in their impact on investors in the Funds through at least February 28,
1998. For purposes of the Funds' fundamental concentration policy, mutual funds
will not be considered an industry.
You should consider the following risk factors when investing in the Funds: (i)
under certain circumstances, an underlying SchwabFund may determine to pay a
redemption request by a Fund wholly or in part by a distribution in kind of
securities from its portfolio, instead of cash. If this occurs, a Fund may hold
securities distributed by an underlying SchwabFund until the Investment Manager
determines that it is appropriate to dispose of these securities; (ii) to the
extent the Funds invest in other SchwabFunds, you will be indirectly exposed to
the risks associated with investing in those SchwabFunds; and (iii) the
officers, Trustees and Investment Manager also serve as officers, Trustees and
adviser of the underlying SchwabFunds, which may give rise to certain conflicts
of interest.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
YOUR INVESTMENT
DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS. When you first buy shares in our Funds, you may choose one
of the three following distribution options:
1. AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT: Both income dividends and any capital gain
distributions will be reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. This option
will be selected automatically unless you specify another option. If you are
purchasing a Funds' shares through Schwab's Automatic Investment Plan, you must
choose this distribution option for that Fund.
2. CASH DIVIDENDS/REINVESTED CAPITAL GAINS: Income dividends will be paid in
cash, and any capital gain distributions will be reinvested in additional
shares.
3. ALL CASH: Income dividends and any capital gain distributions will both be
paid in cash.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions subject to reinvestment will be
invested at the NAV next determined after their record date. Cash distributions
will be credited to your Schwab account and will be held there or mailed to you
depending on the account standing instructions applicable to your account.
To change the distribution option you have selected, call 800-2 NO-LOAD.
The Funds intend to distribute substantially all of their net investment income
each year, as determined by the Board of Trustees. The Funds will pay dividends
from net investment income as follows: the Schwab Asset Director(R) - High
Growth Fund and the Schwab Asset Director(R) - Balanced Growth Fund, annually in
December; the Schwab Asset Director(R) - Conservative Growth Fund, quarterly in
March, June, September and December.
Net capital gains, if any, will be distributed annually in December by all three
Funds. All your distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional
Fund shares unless you elect otherwise.
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following is only a brief summary of general information regarding the
federal income tax laws affecting you and the Funds. Thus, you should consult
with your own tax adviser about your particular tax situation.
Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Code.
To qualify, each Fund will distribute to its shareholders on a current basis
substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain
(if any) each year. In addition, each will meet certain other Code requirements.
As a regulated investment company, each Fund will pay no federal income taxes to
the extent that it distributes its earnings to shareholders.
Dividends that the Funds pay to you from net investment income are generally
taxable to you as ordinary income. So are distributions of the Funds' net
short-term capital gains in excess of any net long-term capital losses.
Distributions that the Funds designate as long-term capital gains (net of
capital losses),
18
<PAGE> 22
generally are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you
own your shares of the Funds. These tax rules apply whether distributions are
received in cash or reinvested.
If you are not taxed on your income, you may be subject to different tax
treatment.
Income received by the Funds from securities of foreign issuers may be subject
to foreign income taxes withheld at the source. Regulated investment companies
that have more than 50% of their total assets invested in foreign stock or
securities at the end of their fiscal year are allowed to elect, for U.S. income
tax purposes, to treat foreign income taxes paid by it as paid by its
shareholders. It is not expected that any of the Funds will meet this investment
requirement and thus be able to "pass through" foreign taxes. Also, to the
extent that the Funds invest in shares of underlying SchwabFunds(R) that elect
to "pass through" foreign taxes, the Funds will not be able to "pass through"
the taxes paid by these underlying SchwabFunds.
You will be provided with a record of all dividends, distributions, purchases,
and sales on your regular Schwab brokerage account statement. At least once a
year, you will be notified of the federal income tax consequences of all
distributions made that year to your account.
HOW WE DETERMINE THE PRICE OF YOUR SHARES
The price of a share of each Fund is its net asset value, which is determined
each Business Day at the close of trading on the Exchange. The price is
determined by adding the total assets of each Fund, subtracting any liabilities
attributable to that Fund, and then dividing
the resulting amount by the number of shares outstanding. In accordance with the
1940 Act, shares of the underlying SchwabFunds are valued at their respective
net asset values as determined by those funds. The underlying money market funds
value their portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 promulgated under
the 1940 Act. The other underlying SchwabFunds value their portfolio securities
based on market quotes if they are readily available. For each Fund's other
investments, each 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 each Fund's other investments in good faith under
guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees reviews these
values regularly.
Purchase or redemption orders and exchange requests will be executed at the NAV
next determined after receipt by the Transfer Agent or its authorized agent.
HOW THE FUNDS REPORT PERFORMANCE
From time to time the Funds may advertise their total return or yield.
Performance figures are based upon historical results and are not intended to
indicate future performance. The Funds may also compare their historical
performance figures to the performance of indices similar to their asset
categories and sub-categories, such as those indices named in the chart under
"Market Performance."
A Fund's total return measures its overall change in value over a period,
including share price movements, and assumes all dividends and capital gains
have been reinvested. Average annual total return reflects the hypothetical
annually compounded return calculated as
19
<PAGE> 23
mandated by the SEC. Other reported total return figures may differ in that they
may report non-standard periods or represent aggregate or cumulative return over
a stated length of time.
A Fund's yield refers to the income generated by an investment in the Fund over
a given period of time, expressed as an annualized percentage rate. Yields are
calculated according to a standard that is required for all stock and bond
funds. Because this differs from other accounting methods, the quoted yield may
not equal the income actually paid to shareholders.
ANNUAL AND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT MAILINGS. Twice a year, each Fund will provide a
report to all shareholders describing the performance of the Funds and outlining
the investments. In order to reduce mailing costs, these shareholder mailings
are consolidated by household. If a household has multiple accounts and the same
address of record for all the accounts, mailings for all accounts at that
address will be sent in a single package. If you do not want this consolidation
of mailings to apply to your account, please write to SchwabFunds(R) at the
address on the front of this Prospectus. To request a free copy of a Fund's
Annual Report (or Semi-Annual Report), call 800-2 NO-LOAD.
ORGANIZATION AND
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
GENERAL OVERSIGHT OF THE FUNDS. The Board of Trustees and officers meet
regularly to review the Funds' investments, performance, expenses and other
business affairs.
THE INVESTMENT MANAGER. The Investment Manager, Charles Schwab Investment
Management, Inc., or CSIM, manages the Funds' business affairs. Its actions are
subject to the authority of the Board of Trustees and officers of the Trust. The
Investment Manager is also responsible for overall management of the Funds'
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 The SchwabFunds Family(R), a family of
26 mutual funds. As of February 4, 1997, the SchwabFunds(R) had aggregate net
assets in excess of $45 billion.
Geri Hom is Vice President of the Investment Manager and Senior Portfolio
Manager. She joined Schwab in March 1995 as Portfolio Manager-Equities and
currently manages the four Schwab index funds and co-manages the three Schwab
Asset Director Funds with approximately $3.4 billion in assets. For four years
prior to joining Schwab, she was a Principal for Wells Fargo Nikko Investment
Advisors. For the seven years prior to that, she was Vice President and Manager
of the Domestic Equity Portfolio Management Group for Wells Fargo Nikko. She
holds a B.A. in business education from San Francisco State University.
Andrea Regan is Vice President of the Investment Manager and Senior Portfolio

OPERATING FEES AND EXPENSES
The Investment Manager provides investment management services under the terms
of its Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement with the Trust, the
Investment Manager and is entitled to receive a graduated annual fee, payable
monthly from each Fund. The rate is 0.74% of each Fund's average daily net
assets on the first $1 billion; 0.69% of net assets on the next $1 billion; and
0.64% of net assets over $2 billion.
The Investment Manager guarantees that, through at least February 28, 1998, the
management fee for each Fund will not exceed 0.49% of its average daily net
assets.
For its services as Transfer Agent, Schwab is entitled to receive an annual fee
of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. In addition, for
shareholder services provided, Schwab receives an annual fee of 0.20% of the
average daily net assets of each Fund.
The Investment Manager and Schwab also guarantee that, through at least February
28, 1998, total fund operating expenses, including a pro rata share of the
operating expenses of the underlying SchwabFunds(R) in which the Funds may
invest, will not exceed 0.89% of each Fund's average daily net assets (after
waivers and reimbursements). For purposes of this guarantee, "operating
expenses" do not include interest expenses, taxes, foreign taxes paid or
withheld and capital items such as costs of purchase or sale of portfolio
securities by the Funds, including brokerage fees or commissions. The effect of
this voluntary expense limitation is to maintain or increase the Funds' total
return to shareholders.
Schwab serves as the distributor for the Funds but receives no compensation for
this service.
OTHER EXPENSES. The Trust pays the expenses of the Funds' operations. These
expenses include the fees and expenses for independent accountants, legal
counsel and the custodian of their assets; the cost of maintaining books and
records of account; taxes; registration fees; the fees and expenses of
qualifying the Trust
21
<PAGE> 25
and its shares for distribution under federal and state securities laws; and
industry association membership dues.
The Trust allocates these expenses among the individual investment portfolios or
series of the Trust, including the Funds. This allocation is generally 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.
Subject to the Investment Manager's and Schwab's guarantee (as discussed above),
the Trust also indirectly pays a pro rata share of the costs and expenses of
each underlying SchwabFund(R) in which a Fund invests.
PORTFOLIO BROKERAGE. When placing orders for the Funds' securities transactions,
the Investment Manager 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 Investment Manager may use Schwab or other qualified affiliated
brokers or dealers to execute the Funds' transactions. To do so, it must
reasonably believe that commissions (or prices) charged 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 FUNDS
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 categories. Currently it offers shares of ten series. The
Board of Trustees may authorize the issuance of shares of additional series or
categories, if it deems it desirable. Shares within each series have equal,
noncumulative voting rights, and have equal rights as to distributions, assets
and liquidation.
Due to the relatively high cost of maintaining accounts with smaller holdings,
each Fund reserves the right to redeem your shares if, as a result of
redemptions, the aggregate value of your account drops below each 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 be redeemed automatically 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 as required or deemed desirable by the Board of Trustees for purposes
such as changing a Fund's fundamental policies, electing Trustees, or approving
an 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 a Fund were to make changes to its management or
fundamental policies, the Fund would ask you to vote as a shareholder. If a Fund
holds 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
22
<PAGE> 26
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.
Each Fund will vote shares of underlying SchwabFunds(R) it owns in proportion to
the votes of all other shareholders of the relevant underlying SchwabFunds.
SHARE CERTIFICATES. To assist in minimizing administrative costs, share
certificates will not be issued. Records regarding share ownership are
maintained by the Transfer Agent.

GLOSSARY OF IMPORTANT TERMS
ANNUALIZED: calculated to represent a year; a statement produced by calculating
financial results covering less than a year to show what would happen if the
results were hypothetically extended to cover an entire year.
BOND: a debt obligation that requires the issuer to pay a fixed sum of money
each year (the interest payments) until maturity. Upon maturity, the bond comes

security is held for more than 12 months and then sold at a profit, that profit
is a realized long-term capital gain. If it is sold at a profit after being held

more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any one issuer and may not hold
more than 10% of the voting shares of any one issuer with respect to 75% of the
value of its total assets. Certain minor exceptions apply to this policy, which
are described in the SAI. This test is applied to each of the Funds as a whole
and to each of the Fund's stock sub-categories.

SCHWAB ANALYTICS FUND(TM)
The SCHWAB ANALYTICS FUND (THE "FUND") seeks to achieve long-term capital
growth. The Fund strives to achieve its objective by utilizing quantitative
techniques, proprietary software models and real-time databases to
systematically select stocks that exhibit a combination of attributes that
historically have 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") over the long term. 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").
ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS: THIS PROSPECTUS PROVIDES YOU WITH CONCISE INFORMATION
THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU DECIDE IF THE FUND PROVIDES THE INVESTMENT
OPPORTUNITIES YOU SEEK. READ IT CAREFULLY, AND RETAIN IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
You can find more detailed information in the Statement of Additional
Information ("SAI") dated February 28, 1997 (as amended from time to time). The
SAI has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is

PROSPECTUS FEBRUARY 28, 1997
<PAGE> 34
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 real-time 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) over the long
term. 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 50 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 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 "Investment Objective and Policies" and "Investments and 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 SchwabFunds Family(R), a family of 26 mutual funds with
over $45 billion in assets as of February 4, 1997. Symphony Asset Management,
Inc. ("Symphony") is Sub-Adviser for the Fund. 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 voluntarily guarantee that the
Fund's total operating expenses will not exceed 0.75% through at least February
28, 1998. After that, the guarantee may be terminated, modified or continued.
For more details, see "Investing in Our Fund" and "Organization and Management
of Our Fund" -- "Operating Fees and Expenses."
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES. Schwab's professional representatives are available
toll-free 24 hours a day at 800-2 NO-LOAD to service your account. TDD users may
contact Schwab at 800-345-2550, 24 hours a day. Schwab also enables you to
execute your trading requests through electronic products and services such as
StreetSmart(R), e.Schwab(TM), The Equalizer(R), TeleBroker(R) and the World Wide
Web (address: http://www.schwab.com). See "Investing in Our Fund."
CONVENIENT REPORTING. You receive regular Schwab statements that combine all
your investment activity, including mutual funds, in one report.
FREE AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN. Schwab's free Automatic Investment Plan allows
you to make regular investments in the Fund in amounts
2
<PAGE> 35
and at intervals that you select. For more details, see "Investing in Our
Fund" -- "Schwab's Automatic Investment Plan."
RETIREMENT PLANS. Schwab offers tax-advantaged retirement plans for which the
Fund may be an appropriate investment. For more information, see "Investing in
Our Fund - Tax-Advantaged Retirement Plans."
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, management of the Fund,
maintenance of shareholder records and the issuance of 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 Fund's 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 February 28, 1998. If there were no reduction, the maximum
management fee would be 0.74% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
(2) "Other Expenses" are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year
for the Fund after fee reductions and expense reimbursements. If there were
no reductions, the estimated other expenses of the Fund would have been
0.78% of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period ending October
31, 1996. See "Organization and Management of Our Fund - Operating Fees and
Expenses" for information regarding the Fund's expenses.
(3) This amount reflects the voluntary guarantee by the Investment Manager and
Schwab that, through at least February 28, 1998, the Fund's total fund
operating expenses will not exceed 0.75% of its average daily net assets.
After that, the guarantee may be terminated, modified or continued. If there
were no guarantee, the Fund's total operating expenses would have been 1.51%
(annualized) of its 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 ("IRAs") with balances of $10,000 or more by September
15, 1997 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.
EXAMPLE. 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.

assumes a 5% annual return on investment, the actual returns may be more or less
than the 5% used in this example.

expenses you will bear directly or indirectly when you invest in the Fund. See

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(R) 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. Although the Fund is not a complete
investment plan, you may use it as a 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 real-time 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) over the long term.
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 U.S. 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, stock price to book
value ratios, stock price to earnings 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 50 issuers. The Fund intends to maintain
industry diversification similar to that of the S&P 500(R) Index. This broad
industry diversification serves to lessen portfolio risk.
S&P 500. S&P 500 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 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 were to invest 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, although the Fund will not purchase
when-issued and delayed delivery securities, the Fund may hold these securities
to the extent they 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. Although 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 the 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
5
<PAGE> 38
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, although their 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 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 the Fund will expose you to
market risk, i.e., the risk of being invested in stocks when the market goes
down, resulting in the decline of stock prices over short or even long periods.
Your investment in the Fund also exposes you to the risk of under-performance,
the potential that the Fund's stock portfolio will under-perform the market as
represented, for example, by a benchmark index such as the S&P 500(R) Index. The
Fund's portfolio optimization techniques attempt to minimize this risk by
targeting stocks with above-average appreciation potential and by weighting the
industries in the portfolio approximately the same as they are weighted in the
S&P 500 Index. The wide range of industries represented in the Fund's stock
portfolio also tends to lessen the impact of one industry's decline. In
addition, the Fund will seek to constrain the beta of its stock portfolio within
a targeted range around 1.0. Beta is a measure of a stock's or portfolio's
average sensitivity to market moves. Setting the portfolio beta near to 1.0
means that in the event of an upward movement in the overall market, the value
of the Fund's portfolio would on average also increase in a manner generally
consistent with the S&P 500 Index. 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 may also 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 its related bodies. It
also may use certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers' acceptances.
The Fund may also 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, the Fund 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 SAI for details about
the derivatives that the Fund uses 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.
Although the Fund currently intends to limit its use of derivatives to S&P 500
futures for short-term cash management purposes, the Fund may also use futures
contracts and options to reallocate the Fund's assets among stocks
6
<PAGE> 39
while minimizing transaction costs; maintain cash reserves while simulating full
investment; facilitate trading; 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 its 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. 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. The absence of a trading
market can make it difficult to ascertain the market value of illiquid
securities.
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 these borrowings. The
Fund may not borrow to leverage. The Fund's borrowing and pledging policies, as
set forth in the SAI, are fundamental. Borrowing money may cause greater
fluctuations in the Fund's share price.
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 the Investment Manager (CSIM) manages. These purchases will be
subject to the limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"1940 Act"), and
7
<PAGE> 40
regulatory approval obtained by the Fund. Investment by the Fund in other
investment companies may cause you to bear duplicative fees for certain
services.

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 800-2 NO-LOAD.
The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income
and net capital gain, if any each year annually in December, as determined by
the Board of Trustees. We will automatically reinvest all your distributions in
additional Fund shares unless you elect otherwise.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following is only a brief summary for general information purposes of how
some of the federal income tax laws affect you and the Fund. Thus, you should
consult with your own tax adviser about your particular tax situation.
11
<PAGE> 44
The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Code. To
qualify, the Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income
and net capital gain (if any) each year. In addition, we will meet certain other
Code requirements. As a regulated investment company, the Fund will pay no
federal income taxes insofar as its earnings are distributed to its
shareholders.
Dividends that the Fund pays to you from net investment income are generally
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. For corporate shareholders in the
Fund, dividend distributions designated by the Fund 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
Fund were a regular corporation. These tax rules apply whether the distributions
are received in cash or reinvested.
If you are not taxed on your income, you may be subject to different tax
treatment.
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 ("NAV").
We determine NAV 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 pursuant to guidelines adopted in good faith by the Board of
Trustees. The Board of Trustees regularly reviews these values.
Purchase or redemption orders and exchange requests will be executed at the NAV
next determined after receipt by the Transfer Agent or its authorized agent.
HOW OUR FUND REPORTS PERFORMANCE
From time to time the Fund may advertise the total return 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.
For the 20 years ended 1996, the S&P 500 has produced an average annual total
return of 14.49% (Source: Morningstar, Inc.). Through its models, 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.
ANNUAL AND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT MAILINGS. Twice a year, the Fund provides you a
report
12
<PAGE> 45
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 800-2 NO-LOAD.
ORGANIZATION AND
MANAGEMENT OF OUR FUND
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

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 230 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. As a
result of his beneficial ownership interests in and other relationships with The
Charles Schwab Corporation and its affiliates, 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 February 28, 1998, 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 average daily net assets. Schwab may waive certain expenses incurred by
the Fund for these services in order to limit its ratio of operating expenses to
average net assets.
The Investment Manager and Schwab also guarantee that, through at least February
28, 1998, total fund operating expenses will not exceed 0.75% of the Fund's
average daily net assets (after waivers and reimbursements). For purposes of
this guarantee, "operating expenses" do not include interest expenses, taxes,
foreign taxes paid or 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
0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets not in excess of $300 million;
0.15% of the next $500 million; and 0.10% of such assets over $800 million. 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 accountants, legal
counsel and the custodian of its assets; 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. Schwab may absorb or reimburse
certain expenses incurred by the Fund in order to limit its ratio of operating
expenses to average net assets.
The Trust allocates these expenses among the individual investment portfolios or
series of the Trust, including the Fund. This allocation is generally based on
the relative net assets of each series at the time the expenses are incurred.
However, expenses directly attributa-
14
<PAGE> 47
ble 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 ten 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 each series except to the extent that these 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 be redeemed automatically 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 changing a Fund's
fundamental policies, electing or removing Trustees, or approving or amending
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 differs 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.

relative to the original purchase price. A gain is realized when the security
that has increased in value is sold. An unrealized gain or loss occurs when the
value of a security increases or decreases but the security is not sold. If a
security is held for more than 12 months and then sold at a profit, that profit
is a realized long-term capital gain. If it is sold at a profit after being held

THE SCHWAB INTERNATIONAL INDEX FUND (the "Fund") attempts to track the price and
dividend performance (total return) of the Schwab International Index(R) (the
"Index"), an index created by Charles Schwab & Co. ("Schwab") to represent the
performance of common stocks and other equity securities including preferred
stocks, rights and warrants ("Stocks") issued by large, publicly traded
companies from countries around the world with major developed securities
markets, excluding the United States. The Fund will attempt to achieve its
objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Stocks that
comprise the Index, in approximately the same proportion as the constituent
companies (or "issuers") are represented in the Index. The Fund is a diversified
investment portfolio of Schwab Capital Trust (the "Trust"), a no-load, open-end
management investment company.

KEY FEATURES OF THE FUND
PERFORMANCE. The investment objective of the Fund is to attempt to track the
price and dividend performance (total return) of the Schwab International
Index(R) (the "Index"), an index created to represent the performance of common
stocks and other equity securities including preferred stocks, rights and
warrants ("Stocks") issued by large, publicly traded companies from countries
around the world with major developed securities markets, excluding the United
States. (See "The Schwab International Index.") The Fund will attempt to achieve
its objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Stocks that
comprise the Index, in approximately the same proportions as the constituent
companies (or "issuers") are represented in the Index. (See "Investment
Objective, Policies and Risks.")
REDUCED RISK THROUGH DIVERSIFICATION. The Fund seeks to invest in substantially
all of the Stocks of the 350 companies that make up the Index. This level of
diversification reduces the risk (typically, a decline in the value of
individual securities) associated with investments in individual securities
because the Fund's investments will be spread over a range of industries and
issuers from various countries as opposed to being concentrated in a few
individual securities. Internationally diversified investors have historically
reduced their overall risk and at the same time earned significantly higher
returns. International Stocks may have greater price volatility and illiquidity
than U.S. Stocks. In addition, certain investment strategies such as foreign
currency exchange transactions and trading in options and futures may involve
increased risks to the Fund. (See "Investment Objective, Policies and Risks.")
MARKET RISK. While the Fund's diversification strategy helps protect
shareholders from individual stock and industry risk, it does not protect
shareholders from volatility caused by movement in the market as a whole.
Because the Fund is designed to represent international market performance, the
Fund's performance will fall and rise accordingly. It is important to note that
the market can fluctuate significantly.
An indexing strategy requires commitment to riding out the market's short-term
swings in order to recognize its long-term growth potential. For this reason,
the Fund is best viewed as a long-term investment. (See "Investment Objective,
Policies and Risks.")
LOW MINIMUM INVESTMENT. Investors can begin their investment program in the Fund
with as little as $1,000. Subsequent investments can be made with only $100.
(See "How to Buy Shares.")
LOW-COST INVESTING. The Fund brings a low-cost approach to investing with:
- - no sales charges;
- - an index fund management strategy designed to minimize overall operating
expenses; and
- - the voluntary guarantee of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (the
"Investment Manager") and Schwab that through at least February 29, 2000, the
Fund's total fund operating expenses will not exceed 0.58% of the Fund's
average daily net assets. (See "Management of the Fund.")
TARGETED STRATEGIES TO MINIMIZE CURRENT CAPITAL GAINS TAX LIABILITY. Taxes can
erode the returns a shareholder earns from a mutual fund investment and are an
important, and often overlooked, factor when evaluating a mutual fund's
performance. For many mutual funds, shareholder tax liability is of minimal
concern in the investment management pro-
2
<PAGE> 56
cess. In contrast, the Investment Manager of the Fund actively employs specific
investment policies designed to minimize capital gain distributions. Any trading
within the portfolio has the potential to generate capital gains. In order to
minimize realized capital gain distributions while pursuing the Fund's
investment objective, the Investment Manager focuses on individual tax lots in
deciding when and how to manage the realization of net capital gains. In
addition, the Investment Manager constantly monitors, analyzes and evaluates the
portfolio as well as market conditions to carefully manage necessary trading
activity and to determine when there are opportunities to harvest capital
losses, which can then be used to offset realized capital gains.
Through the use of these and other strategies, the Investment Manager seeks to
minimize capital gain distributions to an extent not found in most mutual funds.
By deferring the tax on capital gains, where possible, until shares are sold by
an investor, unrealized gains can accumulate in the Fund, helping to build the
value of a shareholder's investment. In addition, shareholders are given greater
control over the timing of the recognition of such gains and the impact on their
tax situation. There can be no assurance that the Investment Manager will
succeed in avoiding realized net capital gains. (See "Investment Objective,
Policies and Risks.")
PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT. The Investment Manager currently provides investment
management services to the mutual funds in the SchwabFunds Family(R), a family
of 26 mutual funds with approximately $45 billion in assets as of February 4,
1997. (See "Management of the Fund.")
SHAREHOLDER SERVICE. Schwab serves as the Fund's principal
underwriter/distributor, transfer agent and shareholder service provider.
Schwab's professional representatives are available 24 hours a day to receive
your purchase, redemption and exchange orders. Call Schwab at 800-2 NO-LOAD. TDD
users may contact Schwab at 800-345-2550, 24 hours a day. As a discount broker,
Schwab gives you investment choices and lets you make your own decisions. Schwab
has many services that help you make the most informed investment decisions.
Schwab also enables you to execute your trading requests electronically by using
StreetSmart(R), The Equalizer(R) and TeleBroker(R). (See "How to Buy Shares" and
"How to Sell or Exchange Shares.")
FREE AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN. Schwab's free Automatic Investment Plan allows
you to make regular investments in amounts and at intervals that you select. You
avoid the inconvenience, delay and expense associated with checks or bank wires.
(See "Automatic Investment Plan" or call 800-2 NO-LOAD, 24 hours a day.)
CONVENIENT REPORTING. Customers receive regular Schwab statements that combine
all their investment activity, including mutual funds, on one report. (See
"Other Important Information.")
NATIONWIDE NETWORK OF SCHWAB OFFICES. Schwab has over 230 offices throughout the
U.S. where customers can place purchase and redemption orders. (See "Management
of the Fund.")

TOTAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (AFTER FEE REDUCTION
AND EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT)(3,4)................... 0.58%
</TABLE>
(1) Applies only to the redemption (including by exchange) of shares purchased
and held less than six months. The fee is paid to the Fund and is designed
to protect long-term investors from the cost of frequent investments and
redemptions by short-term investors. (See "How to Sell or Exchange Shares.")
The Fund reserves the right to waive this fee for certain clients of Schwab
Institutional and The Charles Schwab Trust Company (the "Trust Company") and
for certain tax-advantaged retirement plans. Call your Schwab representative
for more information.
(2) This amount has been restated to reflect a voluntary waiver of a portion of
the management fee by the Investment Manager. If there were no such waiver,
the maximum management fee would be 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net
assets.
(3) This amount has been restated to reflect a voluntary guarantee by the
Investment Manager and Schwab that through at least February 29, 2000, total
operating expenses for the Fund will not exceed 0.58% of the Fund's average
daily net assets. During the fiscal period ended October 31, 1996, total
operating expenses were guaranteed by the Investment Manager and Schwab not
to exceed 0.69% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Without these
guarantees, other expenses and total fund operating expenses would have been
0.47% and 1.17%, respectively, 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 account or Schwab One(R) account. (See "How to Buy
Shares - Schwab Account Minimums and Associated Fees.") Schwab Individual
Retirement Accounts with balances of $10,000 or more by September 15, 1997
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
"Tax-Advantaged Retirement Plans.")
EXAMPLE. You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment, assuming
(1) a 5% annual return and (2) redemption at the end of each period:

THE PURPOSE OF THE PRECEDING TABLE IS TO ASSIST INVESTORS IN UNDERSTANDING THE
VARIOUS COSTS AND EXPENSES THAT AN INVESTOR IN THE FUND WILL BEAR DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY. This example reflects the voluntary guarantee by the Investment
Manager and Schwab that the total fund operating expenses will not exceed the
amount specified in note 3. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE
SHOWN. The example assumes a 5% annual rate of return pursuant to requirements
of the SEC. This hypothetical rate of return is not intended to be

MATCHING THE FUND TO YOUR INVESTMENT NEEDS
The Fund may be appropriate for a variety of investment programs. While the Fund
is not a substitute for an investment portfolio tailored to an individual's
investment needs and ability to tolerate risk, it can be used to supplement and
diversify a domestic equity portfolio.
As a complement to a domestic equity portfolio, the Fund offers a convenient way
to invest a portion of your assets internationally, while at the same time
achieving a level of diversification of countries and companies that would be
difficult and costly to achieve with individual securities. Internationally
diversified investors have historically reduced their risk and at the same time
earned significantly higher returns.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE,
POLICIES AND RISKS
THE FUND IS DESIGNED TO TRACK THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SCHWAB INTERNATIONAL
INDEX(R). The Fund is a diversified investment portfolio of the Trust, an
open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is
to attempt to track the price and dividend performance (total return) of the
Schwab International Index, an index created to represent the performance of
Stocks issued by large, publicly traded companies from countries around the
world with major developed securities markets, excluding the United States. As a
matter of fundamental policy, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its total
assets in common stocks and other equity securities including preferred stocks,
rights and warrants of companies located in at least three countries other than
the U.S. The Fund's investment objective is fundamental and cannot be changed
without shareholder approval. The Fund's investment policies and restrictions,
unless otherwise noted, are non-fundamental and may be changed by the Board of
Trustees. (See "Investment Restrictions" in the SAI.) While there is no
assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective, it will endeavor
to do so by following the investment policies set forth below.
THE FUND FOLLOWS AN "INDEXING" OR "PASSIVE" STRATEGY. The Fund follows an
"indexing" or "passive" strategy under which Stocks are purchased or sold only
in order to match the composition of the Index. Accordingly, the Investment
Manager generally does not select securities for the Fund's investment portfolio
based upon traditional economic, financial and market analyses and/or
forecasting.
THE FUND IS MANAGED TO MINIMIZE COSTS AND INCREASE SHAREHOLDERS' TOTAL RETURN.
The Fund is managed to offset capital gains with capital losses in order to
minimize your capital gains tax liability. This special feature of the Fund can
make a real difference in your after tax return, especially if you are in a high
tax bracket.
The Fund has adopted a number of policies that should cause its portfolio
turnover rate to be below that experienced in many other mutual fund portfolios.
The Fund's portfolio turnover rates for the fiscal years ended October 31, 1996
and 1995 were 6% and 0%, respectively. Lower portfolio turnover acts to minimize
associated transaction costs as well as the level of realized capital gains.
Shareholders' current tax liability for capital gains should be reduced and
their total return increased by these policies.
To reduce transaction costs and minimize shareholders' current capital gains tax

the Fund's investment portfolio will not be automatically traded (i.e.,
"rebalanced") to reflect changes in the Index. The Fund's trading strategy is
designed to further minimize transaction costs (e.g., the Fund will generally
only buy round-lots of stocks and may trade large blocks of securities). These
policies may cause a particular Stock or a group of Stocks from a particular
country to be over- or under-represented in the Fund relative to its Index
weighting or result in its continued ownership by the Fund after its deletion
from the Index, thereby reducing the correlation between Fund and Index
composition. However, given the diversified nature of the Fund, the Investment
Manager does not expect that these potential deviations will significantly
impact the correlation between Fund and Index performance. Moreover, the
Investment Manager will engage in these practices only to the extent that they
do not have a material effect on the Fund's ability to track the performance of
the Index.
THE FUND WILL ATTEMPT TO BE SUBSTANTIALLY INVESTED IN INDEX STOCKS. Under normal
market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in
Stocks that comprise the Index ("Index Stocks"). The Fund, however, is not
required to buy or sell securities solely because the percentage of its assets
invested in Index Stocks changes when the market value of its holdings increases
or decreases. In addition, the Fund may omit or remove an Index Stock from its
portfolio if the Investment Manager believes the Stock to be insufficiently
liquid or believes the merit of the investment has been substantially impaired
by extraordinary events or financial conditions. To compensate for any Index
Stocks omitted or removed from its investment portfolio, the Fund may purchase
Stocks not in the Index (which would then be considered Index Stocks for
purposes of the Fund's policy regarding the percentage of its assets to be
invested in Index Stocks) if the Investment Manager believes that their market
performance is likely to replicate that of the Index Stocks they replace.
It is anticipated that the Fund will be able to invest in a majority of Index
Stocks. The Fund will generally select Index Stocks by reference to their
weighting in the Index. Thus, the Fund intends that the percentage of its assets
invested in each Index Stock will approximate the weighting of that Stock in the
Index.
FUND PERFORMANCE SHOULD TRACK THAT OF THE INDEX. While Fund performance will not
precisely match Index performance, the Fund will attempt to maximize the
correlation between its performance and that of the Index. Factors such as the
size of the Fund's portfolio, transaction costs, management fees and expenses,
brokerage commissions and fees, the extent and timing of cash flows into and out
of the Fund, the Fund's policy of minimizing transaction costs and current
capital gains tax liability, and changes in the international securities markets
and the Index itself are expected by the Investment Manager to account for any
differences between the Fund's performance and that of the Index.
Over the long term, the Investment Manager seeks a correlation between the
performance of the Fund and that of the "Index" of 0.9 or better. A figure of
1.0 would indicate perfect correlation. The Investment Manager monitors the
correlation between Fund and Index performance on a regular basis. In the
unlikely event that a correlation of 0.9 or better is not achieved, the Board of
Trustees will consider alternative arrangements.

INTERNATIONAL STOCKS MAY HAVE LESS LIQUIDITY AND GREATER PRICE VOLATILITY THAN
U.S. STOCKS. Because the Fund will be invested primarily in international equity
securities, its price volatility may be even greater than if it were invested in
U.S. equity securities. When the Fund invests in such securities, they usually
will be denominated in a foreign currency, and the Fund may temporarily hold
foreign currencies. Thus, the value of the Fund's shares will be affected by
changes in currency exchange rates. The value of the Fund's investments
denominated in foreign currencies will depend on the relative strength of those
currencies and the U.S. dollar, and the Fund may be affected favorably or
unfavorably by exchange control regulations or changes in the exchange rate
between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. 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 factors. Changes
in the foreign currency exchange rates may also affect the value of dividends
and interest earned, gains and losses realized on the sale of securities, and
net investment income and gains, if any, to be distributed to shareholders by
the Fund. Accordingly, the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective
will depend, to some extent, on favorable exchange rates.
Other risks and considerations of international investing include: differences
in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; generally higher
transaction costs on foreign portfolio transactions; small trading volumes and
generally lower liquidity of foreign stock markets, which may result in greater
price volatility; foreign withholding taxes payable on the Fund's security
holdings, which may reduce dividend income payable to shareholders; the
possibility of expropriation, nationalization or confiscatory taxation; adverse
changes in investment or exchange control regulations; political instability
which could affect U.S. investment in foreign countries; and potential
restrictions on the flow of international capital.
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.
Because of the risks associated with international equity investments, the Fund
is intended to be a long-term investment vehicle and is not designed to provide
investors with a means of speculating on short-term stock market movements.
Investors should not consider the Fund a complete investment program, but should
also hold securities with different risk characteristics including other mutual
funds or portfolios of individual securities, U.S. common stocks, bonds and
money market instruments.
THE FUND MAY PURCHASE SECURITIES ASIDE FROM STOCKS. The value of all non-Index
Stock investments may normally represent no more than 20% of the Fund's total
assets. In order to accommodate cash flows resulting from the purchase and sale
of Fund shares, the Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, certificates of deposit,
bankers' acceptances, and commercial paper (which has been rated in one of the
two highest categories by a non-affiliated, nationally recognized statistical
rating organization); enter into repurchase agreements collateralized by these
instruments; and purchase shares of other investment companies that invest
primarily in any of the securities described
8
<PAGE> 62
above. In the aggregate, no more than 10% of the Fund's total assets may be
invested in other investment companies, and an investment in any one investment
company will be limited to 5% of total Fund assets. The Investment Manager will
charge no management fees attributable to any Fund assets invested in other
investment companies. (See "Investment Restrictions" in the SAI.)
THE FUND MAY UTILIZE FUTURES AND OPTIONS STRATEGIES. The Fund may also purchase
futures contracts, which are agreements to buy or sell a specific commodity or
financial instrument at a certain price on a certain date in the future. The
Funds may also purchase futures contracts on stocks, stock indices and options
contracts (including options on futures contracts) to accommodate cash flows or
in anticipation of taking a market position when, in the opinion of the
Investment Manager, available cash balances do not permit economically efficient
stock purchases. Moreover, the Fund may sell futures and options to "close out"
futures and options it may have purchased or to protect against a decrease in
the price of securities it owns but intends to sell. Futures contracts and
options may be used to: maintain cash reserves while simulating full investment;
facilitate trading; seek higher investment returns or simulate full investment
when a futures contract is priced more attractively or is otherwise considered
more advantageous than the underlying security or index. The Fund may enter into
futures contracts and options provided that the aggregate deposits required on
these contracts do not exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets. The value of all
futures contracts on stocks and stock indices and options contracts is not to
exceed 10% 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.
Futures contracts and options pose certain risks. The primary risks associated
with the use of futures contracts and options include: imperfect correlation
between the change in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the
prices of futures contracts and options, and possible lack of a liquid secondary
market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a futures
position prior to its maturity date. The risk of imperfect correlation will be
minimized by investing only in those contracts whose behavior is expected to
resemble that of the Fund's underlying securities. The risk that the Fund will
be unable to close out a futures position will be minimized by entering into
such transactions on a national exchange with an active and liquid secondary
market.
The risk of loss in trading futures contracts and options in some strategies can
be substantial, due both to the low margin deposits required and the extremely
high degree of leverage that can be involved in futures and options pricing. As
a result, a relatively small price movement in a futures contract or an option
may result in immediate and substantial loss (or gain) to the investor. While
futures contracts and options can be used as leveraged instruments, the Fund may
not use futures contracts or options to leverage its portfolio. When investing
in futures contracts and options, the Fund will segregate cash, cash-equivalents
or liquid, high-quality debt instruments in the amount of the underlying
obligation.
CURRENCY HEDGING. The Fund may engage in foreign currency exchange transactions
to protect against uncertainty in the level of future exchange rates. The Fund
expects to engage in foreign currency exchange transactions in con-
9
<PAGE> 63
nection 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 Fund enters into foreign currency
transactions with respect to specific receivables or payables of the Fund
arising in connection with the purchase or sale of its portfolio securities. By
transaction hedging, the Fund will attempt to protect itself 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 it engages in position hedging, the Fund enters into foreign currency
exchange transactions to protect against a decline in the values of the foreign
currencies in which its portfolio securities are denominated (or against an
increase in the value of currency for securities which the Fund expects to
purchase).
When it engages in portfolio and/or transaction hedging, the Fund may purchase
or sell a foreign currency 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 Fund 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 Fund the
right to assume a short position in the futures contract until expiration of the
option. A put option on currency gives the Fund 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 Fund the right to assume a long position in the futures
contract until the expiration of the option. A call option on currency gives the
Fund 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 Fund's
ability to engage in hedging transactions may be limited by tax considerations.
Transaction and position hedging do not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of
the underlying securities that the Fund owns or expects to purchase or sell.
They simply establish a rate of exchange which one can achieve at some future
point in time. Additionally, although these techniques tend to minimize the risk
of loss due to a 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.
For further information on currency forward and futures contracts and foreign
currency options, see "Investment Securities" in the SAI.
THE FUND MAY BORROW MONEY. The Fund may borrow money for temporary purposes, but
not for the purpose of purchasing investments, in an amount up to one-third of
the value of its total assets. The Fund's borrowing policy is fundamental.
THE FUND MAY LEND ITS SECURITIES TO GENERATE INCOME. To increase its income, the
Fund may lend securities from its portfolio to brokers, dealers and other
financial institutions that borrow securities. No more than one-third of the
Fund's total assets may be represented by loaned securities. The Fund's loans of
portfolio securities will be collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S.
Government securities equal
10
<PAGE> 64
at all times to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities plus
accrued interest. (For more information regarding securities lending, see "Other
Investment Policies - Loans of Portfolio Securities" in the SAI.)
THE SCHWAB INTERNATIONAL INDEX(R)
THE INDEX HAS SET INCLUSION CRITERIA. To be included in the Index, a company
must satisfy all of the following criteria:
1. it must be an "operating company" (i.e., not an investment company) whose
principal trading market is in a country with major developed securities
markets outside the United States;
2. a liquid market for its shares must exist;
3. its market value must place it among the top 350 such companies as measured
by market capitalization, provided that the total of all companies from any
country may not exceed 35% of the Index on a rebalancing date.
A particular Stock's weighting in the 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 value of the Index. As of January 31,
1997 the aggregate market capitalization of Index Stocks was approximately $4.4
trillion.
SCHWAB DEVELOPED AND MAINTAINS THE INDEX. The Index, which as of January 31,
1997 represented approximately 23% of the total market value of all publicly
traded non-United States companies, was developed in 1993 and is maintained by
Schwab to represent the total return 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.
Currently the countries included in the Index are Australia, Belgium, Canada,
Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The Index serves as a
standard of comparison for the Fund's performance. Schwab receives no
compensation from the Fund for maintaining the Index.
SCHWAB CALCULATES AND REPORTS THE INDEX'S PERFORMANCE DAILY. The Index's
performance (i.e., the market value of all Index Stocks in U.S. dollars) is
calculated and made available each Business Day (any day the New York Stock
Exchange is open for business) by Schwab. The total return of the Index is
computed monthly (using beginning of month capitalization weightings and
assuming reinvestment of dividends) and may be reported from time to time to
Fund shareholders.
SCHWAB PERIODICALLY UPDATES THE COMPOSITION OF THE INDEX. Schwab reviews and, as
necessary, revises the list of companies whose securities are included in the
Index at least annually. Companies known by Schwab to meet or no longer meet the
inclusion criteria will be added or deleted as appropriate. Schwab will also
modify the Index as necessary to account for corporate actions (e.g., new
issues, repurchases, stock dividends/splits, tender offers, mergers, swaps,
spin-offs or bankruptcy filings made because of a company's inability to
continue operating as a going concern). Schwab may change Index inclusion
criteria if it determines that doing so would cause the Index to be more
representative of the large, publicly traded international company equity
market. In the future, the Trust's Board of Trustees, subject to shareholder
approval, may select another index should it decide that taking such action
11
<PAGE> 65
would be in the best interests of Fund shareholders.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
Responsibility for overall management of the Fund rests with the Trustees and
officers of the Trust. Professional investment management for the Fund is
provided by the Investment Manager, Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc.,
101 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94104. In addition to maintaining the
Index and providing day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund, the Investment
Manager provides general investment advice regarding the Fund's investment
strategies and performs expense management, accounting and recordkeeping, and
other administrative services necessary to the operation of the Fund. The
Investment Manager, formed in 1989, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Charles
Schwab Corporation and is the investment adviser and administrator of the mutual
funds in the SchwabFunds Family(R), a family of 26 mutual funds. As of February
4, 1997, SchwabFunds had aggregate net assets of approximately $45 billion.
Pursuant to separate agreements, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. ("Schwab" or the
"Transfer Agent"), 101 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94104, serves as
shareholder services and transfer agent for the Fund. Schwab provides
information and services to shareholders, which include reporting share
ownership, sales and dividend activity and associated tax information,
responding to daily inquiries, effecting the transfer of the Fund's shares and
facilitating effective cash management of shareholder account balances. It also
furnishes office space and equipment, telephone facilities, personnel and
informational literature distribution as is necessary and appropriate in
providing the described shareholder and transfer agency information and
services. Schwab is also the Fund's distributor, but receives no compensation
for its services as such.
Schwab was established in 1971 and is one of America's largest discount brokers.
The firm provides low-cost securities brokerage and related financial services
to over 3.3 million active customer accounts and has over 230 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. As a result of his beneficial ownership
interests in and other relationships with The Charles Schwab Corporation and its
affiliates, Mr. Schwab may be deemed to be a controlling person of Schwab and
the Investment Manager.
Geri Hom is Vice President of the Investment Manager and Senior Portfolio
Manager for the Fund. She joined Schwab in March 1995 as Portfolio
Manager - Equities and currently manages the four Schwab index funds and co-
manages the three Schwab Asset Director(R) Funds with approximately $3.4 billion
in assets. For four years before joining Schwab, she was a Principal for Wells
Fargo Nikko Investment Advisors. For the seven prior years, she was Vice
President and Manager of the Domestic Equity Portfolio Management Group for
Wells Fargo Nikko. She holds a B.A. in business education from San Francisco
State University.
Stephen B. Ward, Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, has overall
responsi-
12
<PAGE> 66
bility for the management of the Fund's portfolio. Steve joined Charles Schwab
Investment Management, Inc. as Vice President and Portfolio Manager in April
1991 and was promoted to his current position in August 1993. Prior to joining
the Investment Manager, Steve was Vice President and Portfolio Manager at
Federated Investors. He holds an M.B.A. from the Wharton School and a B.A. in
economics from Virginia Tech. He has been a chartered financial analyst since
1985.
Please see the Fund's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1996 for a discussion by the Investment Manager of the Fund's
performance.
OPERATING FEES AND EXPENSES. Pursuant to its Investment Advisory and
Administration Agreement with the Trust, the Investment Manager is entitled to
receive from the Fund 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 guarantee that total
fund operating expenses will not exceed 0.58% of the Fund's average daily net
assets. The expense limit, which is voluntary and guaranteed through at least
February 29, 2000, will serve to maintain or lower the Fund's expenses and thus
maintain or increase the Fund's total return to shareholders. For the fiscal
year ended October 31, 1996, the Fund paid investment management fees and total
fund operating expenses of 0.40% and 0.69%, respectively, of the Fund's average
daily net assets.
For the transfer agency and shareholder services provided under its Transfer
Agency and Shareholder Service Agreements with the Trust, Schwab receives an
annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.05% and 0.20%, respectively, of the Fund's
average daily net assets. The Investment Manager and Schwab may reduce their
fees from time to time.
The Trust pays the expenses of its operations, including the fees and expenses
of independent accountants, legal counsel and custodian; the costs of
calculating net asset values, brokerage commissions or transaction costs; taxes;
registration fees; and the fees and expenses of qualifying the Trust and its
shares for distribution. Expenses are generally allocated among the Trust's
investment portfolios or classes on the basis of relative net assets at the time
they are incurred. However, expenses directly attributable to a particular Fund
or class are charged to that Fund or class.
PORTFOLIO BROKERAGE. When placing orders for the Fund's securities transactions,
the Investment Manager will use its judgment to obtain best price and execution.
The full range and quality of brokerage services available are considered in
making these determinations. For securities transactions in which Schwab is not
a principal, the Investment Manager may use Schwab or another qualified
affiliated broker or dealer to execute the Fund's transactions when it
reasonably believes that commissions (or prices) charged and transaction quality
will be at least comparable to those available from other qualified brokers or
dealers.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund will distribute substantially all of
its net investment income and net capital gains, if any, on an annual basis, as
determined by the Trust's Board of Trustees.
The value of your shares reflects any net investment income or net capital gains
that the
13
<PAGE> 67
Fund has earned but not yet distributed, so their value will be reduced when
distributions are paid. If you elect to receive these distributions in cash, the
value of your Fund holdings as a whole will decrease. If you choose to reinvest
your distributions, the reduced value of your shares will be offset by the value
of new shares purchased with reinvested distributions.
FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION. The Fund is treated as a separate entity for tax
purposes, has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Code, qualified as such, and intends to continue to so
qualify. In order to so qualify, the Fund will distribute substantially all of
its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders on an annual
basis and will meet certain other requirements. Such qualification will relieve
the Fund of liability for federal income tax to the extent its earnings are so
distributed.
Dividends paid by the Fund from net investment income and distributions from the
Fund's net short-term capital gains in excess of any net long-term capital
losses, whether received in cash or reinvested, generally will be taxable as
ordinary income. Distributions received from the Fund 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 has owned shares in the Fund. However, any loss on the sale or
exchange of shares held for six months or less shall, to the extent of any
long-term capital gain distributions received with respect to such shares, 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
Fund, including any foreign taxes paid by the Fund and passed through, as
described below.
Dividends and distributions paid by the Fund are not eligible for the
dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders if, as expected, none of
the Fund's income consists of dividends paid by United States corporations.
Income received by the Fund from sources within various foreign countries may be
subject to foreign income taxes withheld at the source. If more than 50% of the
value of the Fund's total assets at the close of its taxable year consists of
securities issued by foreign corporations, the Fund is permitted to elect to
"pass through" to the Fund's shareholders the amount of foreign income taxes
paid by the Fund. Pursuant to this election, U.S. shareholders must include in
gross income, even though not actually received, their respective pro rata share
of foreign taxes paid by the Fund, and may either deduct their pro rata share of
foreign taxes (but not for alternative minimum tax purposes) or credit the tax
against U.S. income taxes (subject to certain limitations described in Code
section 904), but not both. No deduction for foreign taxes may be claimed by a
shareholder who does not itemize deductions.
Records of dividends and other distributions, purchases and redemptions will be
reflected on shareholders' Schwab account statements. The Fund will notify
shareholders at least annually as to the nature of all distributions made during
the taxable year, including amounts qualifying as ordinary dividends and capital
gain distributions.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of the federal income tax considerations
affecting the Fund and its shareholders. The discussion of taxes set forth above
is included for general information purposes only. Prospective investors in the
Fund should consult their tax
14
<PAGE> 68
advisers with specific reference to their own tax situations.
SHARE PRICE CALCULATION
THE FUND SELLS ITS SHARES FREE OF SALES CHARGES. The price of a share of the
Fund is its net asset value (NAV), which is determined each Business Day at the
close of trading on the Exchange, generally at 4:00p.m. (Eastern time). The
price is determined by adding the total assets of the Fund, subtracting any
liabilities, and then dividing the resulting amount by the number of shares
outstanding, and then is expressed in U.S. dollars by translating the Fund's
assets using the mean price for the U.S. dollar, as quoted by generally
recognized, reliable sources.
The Fund values its portfolio securities daily based on their market quotes if
they are readily available. If they are not readily available, the Investment
Manager assigns fair values pursuant to guidelines adopted in good faith by the
Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees reviews these values regularly.
HOW THE FUND SHOWS PERFORMANCE
THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE MAY BE ADVERTISED IN TERMS OF TOTAL RETURN. From time to
time the Fund may advertise its total return. Performance figures are based upon
historical results and are not intended to indicate future performance.
The Fund's total return measures its overall change in value over a period,
including share price movements, and assumes all dividends and capital gains
have been reinvested. Average annual total return reflects the hypothetical
annually compounded return mandated by the SEC. Other reported total return
figures may differ in that they may report nonstandard periods or represent
aggregate or cumulative return over a stated length of time.
The Fund's performance may be compared to that of other mutual funds tracked by
mutual fund rating services, various indices that measure investment
performance, United States Treasury obligations, bank certificates of deposit,
the Consumer Price Index and other investments for which reliable performance
data is available. The Fund's performance may also be compared to averages,
performance rankings or other information prepared by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc. and Morningstar, Inc.
Additional performance information is included in the Fund's Annual Report to
Shareholders, which is available free of charge by calling 800-2 NO-LOAD.
TAX-ADVANTAGED
RETIREMENT PLANS
RETIREMENT PLANS OFFER EXCELLENT TAX ADVANTAGES, AND THE FUND MAY BE AN
ESPECIALLY SUITABLE INVESTMENT FOR THEM. Schwab offers tax-advantaged retirement
plans 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
ABOUT THE TRUST. The Trust was organized as a business trust under the laws of
Massachusetts on May 7, 1993 and may issue an unlimited number of shares of
beneficial interest or classes of shares in one or more investment portfolios or
series ("Series"). Currently, shares of ten Series are offered. The Board of
Trustees may authorize the issuance of shares of additional Series or classes if
it deems it desirable. Shares within each Series or class have equal,
noncumulative voting rights and equal rights as to distributions, assets and
liquidation of such Series, except to the extent such voting rights or rights as
to distributions, assets and liquidation vary among classes of a Series.
The Trust is not required to hold annual shareholders' meetings and does not
intend to do so. It will, however, hold special meetings as required or deemed
desirable by the Board of Trustees for such purposes as electing or removing
Trustees, changing fundamental policies, or approving or amending an investment
advisory agreement. In addition, a Trustee may be removed by shareholders at a
special meeting called upon written request by shareholders owning at least 10%
of the outstanding shares of the Trust. Shareholders will vote by Series and not
in the aggregate (for example, when voting to approve the investment advisory
agreement), except when voting in the aggregate is permitted under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, such as for the election of
Trustees.
SHAREHOLDER GUIDE
PLACE ORDERS AND OBTAIN SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION. You may place purchase and
redemption orders as well as exchange requests by calling 800-2 NO-LOAD, 24
hours a day, where trained representatives are available to answer questions
about the Fund and your account. The privilege to initiate transactions by
telephone, as discussed below, is automatically available through your Schwab
account. The Fund will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine. If these procedures are not followed, the
Fund may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent
instructions. These procedures may include requiring a form of personal
identification prior to acting upon instructions received by telephone,
providing written confirmation of such instructions and tape recording telephone
transactions.
Investors should be aware that telephone transactions may be difficult during
periods of drastic economic or market changes. Shareholders who experience
difficulties in purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares by telephone can
utilize the alternative methods discussed below to place their orders.
To assist in minimizing administrative costs, share certificates will not be
issued. Records regarding share ownership are maintained by the Transfer Agent.
You may purchase shares through an account maintained with Schwab or through any
other
16
<PAGE> 70
entity which has been designated by Schwab. The following information regarding
the purchase, exchange and redemption of Fund shares through a Schwab account
relates solely to transactions through Schwab accounts and should not be read to
apply to transactions through other designated entities. For more information,
see "Purchase and Redemption of Shares" in the SAI or contact such designated
entity.
HOW TO BUY SHARES
YOU MAY BUY SHARES OF THE FUND THROUGH A SCHWAB BROKERAGE, SCHWAB ONE(R), IRA,
TRUST OR KEOGH ACCOUNT. If you buy Fund shares through an account maintained
with Schwab, payment for shares must be made directly to Schwab. The Securities
Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC") will provide account protection in an
amount up to $500,000 for securities, including Fund shares, that you hold in a
Schwab account. Of course, this SIPC account protection does not protect
shareholders from share price fluctuations.
You may buy Fund shares through your Schwab account as described below. If you
already have a Schwab account, you need not open a new account.
If you do not presently maintain a Schwab account and wish to establish one,
simply complete a Schwab account application (available by calling 800-2
NO-LOAD) and mail it to Charles Schwab and Co., Inc. at 101 Montgomery Street,
San Francisco, CA 94104. Corporations and other organizations should call 800-2
NO-LOAD to determine which additional forms may be necessary to open a Schwab
account.
You may deposit funds into your Schwab account by check, wire or many other
forms of electronic funds transfer (securities may also be deposited). You may

the shareholder's combined account balances at Schwab total $10,000 or more.
Schwab currently imposes no fee for opening a Schwab One(R) account with a
minimum of $5,000 account equity. Schwab One accounts containing less than
$5,000 account equity are subject to a fee of $5 per month imposed by Schwab if
there have been fewer than two commissionable trades within the last twelve
months.
MINIMUM FUND INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS. Your initial investment in the Fund may be
as low as $1,000 ($500 for IRAs, certain other retirement plans and custodial
accounts). The minimum subsequent investment is $100. These requirements may be
reduced or waived on certain occasions. (See "Purchase and Redemption of Shares"
in the SAI.)
Schwab reserves the right to waive these minimums for clients of Schwab
Institutional and the Trust Company and for certain tax-advantaged retirement
plans.
WHEN AND AT WHAT PRICE SHARES MAY BE BOUGHT. You must have funds available in
your account in order to buy Fund shares through your Schwab account. If funds
(including those which are transmitted by wire) are received by Schwab before
the time the daily NAV is calculated (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time), they
will be available for investment on the day of receipt. If funds arrive after
that time, they will be available for investment the next Business Day.
METHODS OF BUYING SHARES. Schwab offers you several convenient ways to buy
shares of the Fund. You may choose the one that works best for you, and Schwab
will confirm execution of your purchase order.
BY PHONE
You may use existing funds in your Schwab account to make initial and subsequent
share purchases. To place your order, call 800-2 NO-LOAD, 24 hours a day. TDD
users may contact Schwab at 800-345-2550, 24 hours a day.
BY MAIL
You may direct that funds already in your Schwab account be used to make initial

deposited into your Schwab account and used, as necessary, to cover all or part
of your purchase order.
Written purchase orders (along with any checks) should be mailed to Schwab at
101 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94104 and should contain the following
information:
- - your Schwab account number (inapplicable if a Schwab Account Application is
also enclosed);
- - the name of the Fund and the dollar amount of shares you would like purchased;
and
- - (initial share purchases only) one of the distribution options listed below.

AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT
Once you have satisfied the initial investment requirement, you may authorize
Schwab to automatically purchase Fund shares at intervals and in amounts
pre-selected by you on your
18
<PAGE> 72
behalf. (See "Schwab Automatic Investment Plan.")
SELECTING A DISTRIBUTION OPTION. You may select from the three distribution
options listed below when you first become a shareholder in the Fund. If you
already are a Fund shareholder and wish to change your distribution option,
please call 800-2 NO-LOAD for assistance.
1. AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT: Both income dividends and any capital gain
distributions will be reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. This
option will be selected automatically unless you specify another option. If
you are purchasing Fund shares through Schwab's Automatic Investment Plan,
you must choose this distribution option for this Fund.
2. CASH DIVIDENDS/REINVESTED CAPITAL GAINS: Income dividends will be paid in
cash, and any capital gain distributions will be reinvested in additional
shares.
3. ALL CASH: Income dividends and any capital gain distributions will both be
paid in cash.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions subject to reinvestment will be
invested at the NAV next determined after their record date. Cash distributions
will be credited to your Schwab account and will be held there or mailed to you,
depending on the account standing instructions applicable to your account. For
information on how to wire funds from your Schwab account to your bank, see
"Other Important Information - Wire Transfers to Your Bank."
OTHER PURCHASE INFORMATION. The Fund reserves the right in its sole discretion
and without prior notice to shareholders to withdraw or suspend all or any part
of the offering made by this Prospectus, to reject purchase orders or to change
the minimum investment requirements. All orders to purchase shares of the Fund
are subject to acceptance by the Fund and are not binding until confirmed or
accepted in writing. Any purchase which would result in a single shareholder
owning shares with a value of more than 10% of a Fund's assets or $3 million,
whichever is greater, are subject to prior approval by the Fund. Schwab will
charge a $15 service fee against an investor's Schwab account if his or her
investment check is returned because of insufficient or uncollected funds or a
stop payment order.
HOW TO SELL OR EXCHANGE SHARES
SALE OF SHARES. Shares will be redeemed at the NAV next determined after receipt
and verification by Schwab's Transfer Agent or its authorized agent of proper
redemption instructions, as set forth on the following pages. Payment for
redeemed shares will be credited directly to your Schwab account no later than 7
days after Schwab's Transfer Agent or its authorized agent receives your
redemption instructions in proper form. Redemption proceeds will then be held
there or mailed to you depending on the account standing instructions you
selected. For information on how to wire funds from your Schwab account to your
bank, see "Other Important Information - Wire Transfers to Your Bank." If you
purchased shares by check, your redemption proceeds may be held in your Schwab
account until your check clears (which may take up to 15 days). Depending on the
type of Schwab account you have, your money may earn interest during any holding
period.
The Fund may suspend redemption rights or postpone payments when: trading on the
New
19
<PAGE> 73
York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is restricted; the Exchange is closed for
any reason other than its customary weekend or holiday closings; emergency
circumstances as determined by the SEC exist; or for such other circumstances as
the SEC may permit. The Fund may also elect to invoke a 7-day period for cash
settlement of individual redemption requests. (See "Purchase and Redemption of
Shares" in the SAI.)
EXCHANGE OF SHARES. The exchange privilege allows you to exchange your
SchwabFunds(R) shares for shares of any other SchwabFunds class or Series
available to investors in your state. Thus, you can conveniently modify your
investments if your goals or market conditions change. An exchange involves the
redemption of Fund shares and the purchase of shares of any SchwabFunds class or
series of your choice. An exchange of shares will be treated as a sale and
purchase of shares for federal income tax purposes. Note that you must meet the
initial or subsequent minimum investment requirements applicable to the shares
you wish to receive in exchange. The Fund reserves the right on 60 days' written
notice to modify, limit or terminate the exchange privilege.
EARLY WITHDRAWAL FEE PAID TO THE FUND. The Fund is meant to be a long-term
investment. Frequent trading in Fund shares by short-term investors increases
the Fund's costs. To offset the costs of short-term trading and to ensure that
long-term investors do not bear these costs, the Fund assesses a 0.75% (three-
fourths of one percent) early withdrawal fee upon redemption or exchange
proceeds attributable to shares purchased and held less than six months. To
benefit Fund shareholders directly, the early withdrawal fee is paid directly to
the Fund and does not apply to the redemption or exchange of shares acquired
through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains. Solely for purposes of
calculating the amount (if any) of the early withdrawal fee, shares will be
treated as redeemed on a "first-in first-out basis," except that shares acquired
through dividend reinvestment will be treated as redeemed first. This method of
calculating the fee should result in the lowest total early withdrawal fee. The
Fund reserves the right to waive this fee for certain clients of Schwab
Institutional and the Trust Company and for certain tax-advantaged retirement
plans.
METHODS OF SELLING OR EXCHANGING SHARES
BY PHONE
To sell shares or to exchange shares between any of the SchwabFunds(R) by
telephone, please call 800-2 NO-LOAD, 24 hours a day. TDD users may contact

- - the name of the Fund from which you wish to sell or exchange shares;

SCHWAB AUTOMATIC
INVESTMENT PLAN
THE FREE SCHWAB AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN IS A FAST, CONVENIENT WAY TO MAKE
REGULAR INVESTMENTS IN THE FUND.
Schwab's Automatic Investment Plan ("AIP") allows you to make periodic
investments in non-money market SchwabFunds(R) (and certain other funds
available through Schwab) automatically and conveniently. You can make automatic
investments in any amount, from $100 to $50,000, once you meet the Fund's
investment minimum. Automatic investments are made from your Schwab account, and
you may select from the following methods to make automatic investments: using
the uninvested cash in your Schwab account; using the proceeds of redemption of
shares of the Schwab Money Fund linked to your Schwab account; or using the
Schwab MoneyLink(R) Transfer Service. As long as you are purchasing the Fund's
shares through AIP, all dividends and distributions paid to you by the Fund must
be reinvested in additional shares of that Fund. For more detailed information
about this service, or to establish your AIP, call 800-2 NO-LOAD, 24 hours a
day.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
MINIMUM BALANCE AND ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS. Due to the relatively high cost of
maintaining accounts with smaller holdings, the Fund reserves the right to
redeem a shareholder's shares if, as a result of redemptions, the aggregate
value of a shareholder's account drops below the Fund's $500 minimum balance
requirement ($250 in the case of IRAs, other retirement plans and custodial
accounts). Shareholders will be notified in writing 30 days before the Fund
takes such action to allow them to increase their holdings to at least the
minimum level. Fund shares will be automatically redeemed should the Schwab
account in which they are carried be closed.
CONSOLIDATED MAILINGS. In an effort to reduce mailing costs, the Fund
consolidates shareholder mailings by household. This consolidation means that a
household having multiple accounts with the identical address of record will
receive a single package during each shareholder mailing. If you do not wish
this consolidation to apply to your account(s), please write Schwab at 101
Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94104 to that effect.
WIRE TRANSFERS TO YOUR BANK. If you so instruct your local Schwab office, funds
will be wired from your Schwab account to your bank account. Call 800-2 NO-LOAD
for more information. A service fee will be charged against your Schwab account
for each wire sent.

TO PLACE ORDERS AND FOR ACCOUNT INFORMATION: Call 800-2 NO-LOAD (800-266-5623),
24 hours a day.
THE SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX FUND (THE "FUND") attempts to track the price and
dividend performance (total return) of the Schwab Small-Cap Index(R) (the
"Index"), an index created by Charles Schwab & Co. ("Schwab") to represent the
performance of common stocks of the second 1,000 largest United States
corporations (excluding investment companies), ranked by market capitalization
(share price times the number of shares outstanding). The issuers of these
common stocks are referred to in this prospectus as "Small-Cap Issuers." The
Fund will attempt to achieve its objective by investing substantially all of its
assets in stocks that comprise the Index, in approximately the same proportion
as the Small-Cap Issuers are represented in the Index. The Fund is a diversified
investment portfolio of Schwab Capital Trust (the "Trust"), a no-load, open-end
management investment company.

Fund in the Trust's Statement of Additional Information ("SAI"), dated February
28, 1997 (as amended from time to time). This SAI has been filed with the

KEY FEATURES OF THE FUND
PERFORMANCE: The investment objective of the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(R) is
to attempt to track the price and dividend performance (total return) of the
Index, an index composed of the common stocks of the second 1,000 largest United
States corporations (excluding investment companies), ranked by market
capitalization (share price times the number of shares outstanding). The Fund
will attempt to achieve its objective by investing substantially all of its
assets in stocks that comprise the Index, in approximately the same proportions
as the Small-Cap Issuers are represented in the Index. (See "Investment
Objective, Policies and Risks.")
REDUCED RISK THROUGH DIVERSIFICATION. The Fund seeks to invest in the common
stocks of substantially all of the 1,000 companies that make up the Index. This
level of diversification reduces the risk (typically, a decline in the value of
individual securities) associated with investments in individual securities
because the Fund's investments will be spread over a range of industries and
issuers as opposed to being concentrated in a few individual securities. Stocks
of Small-Cap Issuers generally have greater illiquidity and price volatility
than stocks of larger capitalization issuers. (See "Investment Objective,
Policies and Risks.")
MARKET RISK. While the Fund's diversification strategy helps protect
shareholders from individual stock and industry risk, it does not protect
shareholders from volatility caused by movement in the market as a whole.
Because the Fund is designed to represent small-cap market performance, the
Fund's performance will fall and rise accordingly. It is important to note that
the market can fluctuate significantly.
An indexing strategy requires commitment to riding out the market's short-term
swings in order to recognize its long-term growth potential. For this reason,
the Fund is best viewed as a long-term investment. (See "Investment Objective,
Policies and Risks.")
LOW-COST INVESTING. The Fund brings a low-cost approach to investing with:
- - no sales charges;
- - an index fund management strategy designed to minimize overall operating
expenses; and
- - the voluntary guarantee of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (the
"Investment Manager") and Schwab that through at least February 29, 2000, the
Fund's total fund operating expenses will not exceed 0.49% of the Fund's
average daily net assets. (See "Management of the Fund.")
TARGETED STRATEGIES TO MINIMIZE CURRENT CAPITAL GAINS TAX LIABILITY. Taxes can
erode the returns a shareholder earns from a mutual fund investment and are an
important, and often overlooked, factor when evaluating a mutual fund's
performance. For many mutual funds, shareholder tax liability is of minimal
concern in the investment management process. In contrast, the Investment
Manager of the Fund actively employs specific investment policies designed to
minimize capital gain distributions. Any trading within the portfolio has the
potential to generate capital gains. In order to minimize realized capital gain
distributions while pursuing the Fund's investment objective, the Investment
Manager focuses on individual tax lots in deciding when and how to manage the
realization of net capital gains. In addition, the Investment Manager constantly
monitors, analyzes and evaluates the portfolio as well as market conditions to
carefully manage necessary trading activity and to determine when there are
opportunities to harvest capital losses, which can then be used to offset
realized capital gains.
Through the use of these and other strategies, the Investment Manager seeks to
minimize capital gain distributions to an extent not
2
<PAGE> 81
found in most mutual funds. By deferring the tax on capital gains, where
possible, until shares are sold by an investor, unrealized gains can accumulate
in the Fund, helping to build the value of a shareholder's investment. In
addition, shareholders are given greater control over the timing of the
recognition of such gains and the impact on their tax situation. There can be no
assurance that the Investment Manager will succeed in avoiding realized net
capital gains. (See "Investment Objective, Policies and Risks.")
LOW MINIMUM INVESTMENT. Investors can begin their investment program in the Fund
with as little as $1,000. Subsequent investments can be made with only $100.
(See "How to Buy Shares.")
PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT. The Investment Manager currently provides investment
management services to the mutual funds in the SchwabFunds Family(R), a family
of 26 mutual funds with approximately $45 billion in assets as of February 4,
1997. (See "Management of the Fund.")
SHAREHOLDER SERVICE. Schwab serves as the Fund's principal
underwriter/distributor, transfer agent, and shareholder service provider.
Schwab's professional representatives are available 24 hours a day to receive
your purchase, redemption and exchange orders. Call Schwab at 800-2 NO-LOAD. TDD
users may contact Schwab at 800-345-2550, 24 hours a day. As a discount broker,
Schwab gives you investment choices and lets you make your own decisions. Schwab
has many services that help you make the most informed investment decisions.
Schwab also enables you to execute your trading requests electronically by using
StreetSmart(R), The Equalizer(R) and TeleBroker(R). (See "How to Buy Shares" and
"How to Sell or Exchange Shares.")
FREE AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN. Schwab's free Automatic Investment Plan allows
you to make regular investments in amounts and at intervals that you select. You
avoid the inconvenience, delay and expense associated with checks or bank wires.
(See "Schwab Automatic Investment Plan" or call Schwab at
800-2 NO-LOAD, 24 hours a day.)
CONVENIENT REPORTING. Customers receive regular Schwab statements that combine
all their investment activity, including mutual funds, on one report. (See
"Other Important Information.")
NATIONWIDE NETWORK OF SCHWAB OFFICES. Schwab has over 230 offices throughout the
U.S. where customers can place purchase and redemption orders. (See "Management
of the Fund.")

</TABLE>
(1) Applies only to the redemption (including by exchange) of shares purchased
and held less than six months. The fee is paid to the Fund and is designed
to protect long-term investors from the cost of frequent investments and
redemptions by short-term investors. (See "How to Sell or Exchange Shares.")
The Fund reserves the right to waive this fee for certain clients of Schwab
Institutional and The Charles Schwab Trust Company and for certain
tax-advantaged
3
<PAGE> 82
retirement plans. Call your Schwab representative for more information.
(2) This amount has been restated to reflect a voluntary waiver of a portion of
the management fee by the Investment Manager. If there were no such waiver,
the maximum management fee would be 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net
assets.
(3) This amount has been restated to reflect a voluntary guarantee by the
Investment Manager and Schwab that through at least February 29, 2000, total
operating expenses for the Fund will not exceed 0.49% of the Fund's average
daily net assets. During the fiscal period ended October 31, 1996, total
operating expenses were guaranteed by the Investment Manager and Schwab not
to exceed 0.59%. Without these guarantees, other expenses and total fund
operating expenses would have been 0.44% and 0.94%, respectively, 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 account or Schwab One(R) account. (See "How to Buy
Shares - Schwab Account Minimums and Associated Fees.") Schwab Individual
Retirement Accounts with balances of $10,000 or more by September 15, 1997
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
"Tax-Advantaged Retirement Plans.")
EXAMPLE. You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment, assuming
(1) a 5% annual return and (2) redemption at the end of each period:

THE PURPOSE OF THE PRECEDING TABLE IS TO ASSIST INVESTORS IN UNDERSTANDING THE
VARIOUS COSTS AND EXPENSES THAT AN INVESTOR IN THE FUND WILL BEAR DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY. This example reflects the voluntary guarantee by the Investment
Manager and Schwab that the total fund operating expenses will not exceed the
amount specified in note 3. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE
SHOWN. The example assumes a 5% annual rate of return pursuant to requirements
of the SEC. THIS HYPOTHETICAL RATE OF RETURN IS NOT INTENDED TO BE

MATCHING THE FUND TO YOUR INVESTMENT NEEDS
The Fund may be appropriate for a variety of investment programs. While the Fund
is not a substitute for an investment portfolio tailored to an individual's
investment needs and ability to tolerate risk, it can be used to supplement and
diversify an investment portfolio that may be primarily comprised of larger
capitalization equity issues.
THE FUND MAY BE ESPECIALLY SUITABLE FOR LONG-TERM INVESTORS. Because the Fund
will ordinarily invest in a large number of common stocks, it may be especially
appropriate for investors with long-term investment objectives, including those
saving for retirement or college. While common stock prices tend to rise and
decline for short or extended periods, historically they have generally risen
over the long-term. As a result, stocks have over time historically provided
many investors with higher returns than most alternative securities investments.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE,
POLICIES AND RISKS
THE FUND IS DESIGNED TO TRACK THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INDEX. The Fund is a
diversified investment portfolio of the Trust, a no-load, open-end management
investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to attempt to track
the price and dividend performance (total return) of the Index, an index created
by Schwab to represent the performance of common stocks of Small-Cap Issuers. As
of December 31, 1996, the market capitalization of stocks in the Index ranged in
size from approximately $306 million to $996 million. As a matter of fundamental
policy, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in common stocks
or other equity securities including preferred stocks, rights and warrants. The
Fund's investment objective is fundamental and cannot be changed without
shareholder approval. The Fund's investment policies and restrictions, unless
otherwise noted, are non-fundamental and may be changed by the Board of
Trustees. (See "Investment Restrictions" in the SAI.) While there is no
assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective, it will endeavor
to do so by following the investment policies set forth below.
THE FUND FOLLOWS AN "INDEXING" OR "PASSIVE" STRATEGY. The Fund follows an
"indexing" or "passive" strategy under which stocks are purchased or sold only
in order to match the composition of the Index. Accordingly, the Investment
Manager generally does not select securities for the Fund's investment portfolio
based upon traditional economic, financial and market analyses and/or
forecasting.
THE FUND IS MANAGED TO MINIMIZE COSTS AND INCREASE SHAREHOLDERS' TOTAL
RETURN. The Fund is managed to offset capital gains with capital losses in order
to minimize your capital gains tax liability. This special feature of the Fund
can make a real difference in your after-tax return, especially if you are in a
high tax bracket.
The Fund has adopted a number of policies that should cause its portfolio
turnover rate to be below that experienced in many other mutual fund portfolios.
The Fund's portfolio turnover rates for the fiscal years ended October 31, 1996
and 1995 were 23% and 24% respectively. Lower portfolio turnover acts to
minimize associated transaction costs as well as the level of realized capital
gains.
6
<PAGE> 85
Shareholders' current tax liability for capital gains should be reduced and
their total return increased by these policies.
To reduce transaction costs and minimize shareholders' current capital gains tax
liability, the Fund's investment portfolio will not be automatically traded
(i.e.,"rebalanced") to reflect changes in the Index. The Fund's trading strategy
is designed to further minimize transaction costs (e.g., the Fund will generally
only buy round-lots of stocks and may trade large blocks of securities). These
policies may cause a particular stock to be over- or under-represented in the
Fund relative to its Index weighting or result in its continued ownership by the
Fund after its deletion from the Index, thereby reducing the correlation between
Fund and Index composition. However, given the diversified nature of the Fund,
the Investment Manager does not expect that these potential deviations will
significantly impact the correlation between Fund and Index performance.
Moreover, the Investment Manager will engage in these practices only to the
extent that they do not have a material effect on the Fund's ability to track
the performance of the Index.
THE FUND WILL ATTEMPT TO BE SUBSTANTIALLY INVESTED IN INDEX STOCKS. Under normal
market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in
stocks of Small-Cap Issuers that comprise the Index ("Index Stocks"). The Fund,
however, is not required to buy or sell securities solely because the percentage
of its assets invested in Index Stocks changes when the market value of its
holdings increases or decreases. In addition, the Fund may omit or remove an
Index Stock from its portfolio if the Investment Manager believes the stock to
be insufficiently liquid or believes the merit of the investment has been
substantially impaired by extraordinary events or financial conditions. To
compensate for any Index Stocks omitted or removed from its investment
portfolio, the Fund may purchase stocks not in the Index (which would then be
considered Index Stocks for purposes of the Fund's policy regarding the
percentage of its assets to be invested in Index Stocks) if the Investment
Manager believes that their market performance is likely to replicate that of
the Index Stocks they replace.
It is anticipated that the Fund will be able to invest in a majority of Index
Stocks. The Fund will generally select Index Stocks by reference to their
weighting in the Index. Thus, the Fund intends that the percentage of its assets
invested in each Index Stock will approximate the weighting of that stock in the
Index.
FUND PERFORMANCE SHOULD TRACK THAT OF THE INDEX. While Fund performance will not
precisely match Index performance, the Fund will attempt to maximize the
correlation between its performance and that of the Index. Factors such as the
size of the Fund's portfolio, transaction costs, management fees and expenses,
brokerage commissions and fees, the extent and timing of cash flows into and out
of the Fund, the Fund's policy of minimizing transaction costs and current
capital gains tax liability, and changes in the securities markets and the Index
itself are expected by the Investment Manager to account for any differences
between the Fund's performance and that of the Index.
Over the long term, the Investment Manager seeks a correlation between the
performance of the Fund and that of the Schwab Small-Cap Index(R) of 0.9 or
better. A figure of 1.0 would indicate perfect correlation. The Investment
Manager monitors the correlation between
7
<PAGE> 86
Fund and Index performance on a regular basis. In the unlikely event that a
correlation of 0.9 or better is not achieved, the Board of Trustees will
consider alternative arrangements.
STOCKS OF SMALL-CAP ISSUERS GENERALLY HAVE GREATER PRICE VOLATILITY AND LESS
LIQUIDITY THAN LARGER CAPITALIZATION STOCKS. Because the Fund will be invested
primarily in common stocks and other equity securities, its portfolio will be
subject to price volatility over both short- and long-term periods. Moreover,
because the Fund invests in equity securities of Small-Cap Issuers, its price
volatility may be greater than if the Fund invested in equity securities of
issuers with larger market capitalizations than those of Small-Cap Issuers.
Generally, equity securities of Small-Cap Issuers have historically been
characterized by greater volatility of returns, greater total returns, and lower
dividend yields than equity securities of large capitalization issuers. For any
particular period of time, these characteristics may not be consistent.
Historically, equity securities of Small-Cap Issuers have shown a pattern of
over-performing or under-performing equity securities of larger capitalization
issuers for extended periods of time (cycles) ranging in duration from four to
fourteen years. The greater price volatility of equity securities of Small-Cap
Issuers may result from the fact that there may be less market liquidity, less
publicly available information or fewer investors who monitor the activities of
these companies. In addition, the market prices of these securities may exhibit
more sensitivity to changes in industry or general economic conditions.
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.
Because of the risks associated with investments in equity securities of
Small-Cap Issuers, the Fund is intended to be a long-term investment vehicle and
is not designed to provide investors with a means of speculating on short-term
stock market movements. Investors should not consider the Fund a complete
investment program, but should also hold securities with different risk
characteristics including other mutual funds or portfolios of individual
securities, equity securities of larger capitalization issuers, bonds and money
market instruments.
THE FUND MAY PURCHASE SECURITIES ASIDE FROM COMMON STOCKS. The value of all
non-Index Stock investments may normally represent no more than 20% of the
Fund's total assets. In order to accommodate cash flows resulting from the
purchase and sale of Fund shares, the Fund may invest in securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities,
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and commercial paper (which has
been rated in one of the two highest categories by a non-affiliated, nationally
recognized statistical rating organization); enter into repurchase agreements
collateralized by these instruments; and purchase shares of other investment
companies that invest primarily in any of the securities described above. In the
aggregate, no more than 10% of the Fund's total assets may be invested in other
investment companies, and an investment in any one investment company will be
limited to 5% of total Fund assets. The Investment Manager will charge no
management fees attributable to any Fund assets invested in
8
<PAGE> 87
other investment companies. (See "Investment Restrictions" in the SAI.)
THE FUND MAY UTILIZE FUTURES AND OPTIONS STRATEGIES. The Fund may also purchase
futures contracts, which are agreements to buy or sell a specific commodity or
financial instrument at a certain price on a certain date in the future. The
Funds may also purchase futures contracts on stocks, stock indices and options
contracts (including options on futures contracts) to accommodate cash flows or
in anticipation of taking a market position when, in the opinion of the
Investment Manager, available cash balances do not permit economically efficient
stock purchases. Moreover, the Fund may sell futures and options to "close out"
futures and options it may have purchased or to protect against a decrease in
the price of securities it owns but intends to sell. Futures contracts and
options may be used to: maintain cash reserves while simulating full investment;
facilitate trading; seek higher investment returns or simulate full investment
when a futures contract is priced more attractively or is otherwise considered
more advantageous than the underlying security or index. The Fund may enter into
futures contracts and options provided that the aggregate deposits required on
these contracts do not exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets. The value of all
futures contracts on stocks and stock indices and options contracts is not to
exceed 10% 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.
Futures contracts and options pose certain risks. The primary risks associated
with the use of futures contracts and options include: imperfect correlation
between the change in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the
prices of futures contracts and options, and possible lack of a liquid secondary
market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a futures
position prior to its maturity date. The risk of imperfect correlation will be
minimized by investing only in those contracts whose behavior is expected to
resemble that of the Fund's underlying securities. The risk that the Fund will
be unable to close out a futures position will be minimized by entering into
such transactions on a national exchange with an active and liquid secondary
market.
The risk of loss in trading futures contracts and options in some strategies can
be substantial, due both to the low margin deposits required and the extremely
high degree of leverage that can be involved in futures and options pricing. As
a result, a relatively small price movement in a futures contract or an option
may result in immediate and substantial loss (or gain) to the investor. While
futures contracts and options can be used as leveraged instruments, the Fund may
not use futures contracts or options to leverage its portfolio. When investing
in futures contracts and options, the Fund will segregate cash, cash-equivalents
or liquid, high-quality debt instruments in the amount of the underlying
obligation. (See "Investment Securities" in the SAI.)
THE FUND MAY BORROW MONEY. The Fund may borrow money for temporary purposes, but
not for the purpose of purchasing investments, in an amount up to one-third of
the value of its total assets. The Fund's borrowing policy is fundamental.
THE FUND MAY LEND ITS SECURITIES TO GENERATE INCOME. To increase its income, the
Fund may lend securities from its portfolio to brokers,
9
<PAGE> 88
dealers and other financial institutions that borrow securities. No more than
one-third of the Fund's total assets may be represented by loaned securities.
The Fund's loans of portfolio securities will be collateralized by cash, letters
of credit or U.S. Government securities equal at all times to at least 100% of
the market value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest. (For more
information regarding securities lending, see "Other Investment Policies-Loans
of Portfolio Securities" in the SAI.)
THE SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX(R)
THE INDEX HAS SET INCLUSION CRITERIA. To be included in the 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 (the "Exchange"), the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ/NMS; and
3. its market value must place it among the second 1,000 such companies as
measured by market capitalization (i.e., from the company with a rank of
1,001 through the company with a rank of 2,000).
A particular stock's weighting in the Index is based on its relative total
market value (i.e., its market price per share times the number of shares
outstanding, for all classes of shares), divided by the total market value of
the Index. As of January 31, 1997, the aggregate market capitalization of Index
Stocks was approximately $580 billion.
SCHWAB DEVELOPED AND MAINTAINS THE INDEX. The Index was developed in 1993 and is
maintained by Schwab to represent the total return of common stocks of Small-Cap
Issuers. The Index serves as a standard of comparison for the Fund's
performance. Schwab receives no compensation from the Fund for maintaining the
Index.
SCHWAB CALCULATES AND REPORTS THE INDEX'S PERFORMANCE DAILY. The Index's
performance (i.e., the market value of all Index Stocks) is calculated and made
available each Business Day by Schwab. The total return of the Index is computed
monthly (using beginning of month capitalization weightings and assuming
reinvestment of dividends) and may be reported from time to time to Fund
shareholders.
SCHWAB PERIODICALLY UPDATES THE COMPOSITION OF THE INDEX. Schwab reviews and, as
necessary, revises the list of Small-Cap Issuers whose securities are included
in the Index at least annually. Companies known by Schwab to meet or no longer
meet the inclusion criteria will be added or deleted as appropriate. Schwab will
also modify the Index as necessary to account for corporate actions (e.g., new
issues, repurchases, stock dividends/splits, tender offers, mergers, swaps,
spin-offs or bankruptcy filings made because of a company's inability to
continue operating as a going concern). Schwab may change Index inclusion
criteria if it determines that doing so would cause the Index to be more
representative of the domestic equity market. In the future, the Trust's Board
of Trustees, subject to shareholder approval, may select another index should it
decide that taking such action would be in the best interests of Fund
shareholders.

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
Responsibility for overall management of the Fund rests with the Trustees and
officers of the Trust. Professional investment management for the Fund is
provided by the Investment Manager, Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc.,
101 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94104. In addition to maintaining the
Index and providing day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund, the Investment
Manager provides general investment advice regarding the Fund's investment
strategies and performs expense management, accounting and recordkeeping, and
other administrative services necessary to the operation of the Fund. The
Investment Manager, formed in 1989, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Charles
Schwab Corporation and is the investment adviser and administrator of the mutual
funds in the SchwabFunds Family(R), a family of 26 mutual funds. As of February
4, 1997, SchwabFunds had aggregate net assets of approximately $45 billion.
Pursuant to separate agreements, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. ("Schwab" or the
"Transfer Agent"), 101 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94104, serves as
shareholder services and transfer agent for the Fund. Schwab provides
information and services to shareholders, which include reporting share
ownership, sales and dividend activity and associated tax information,
responding to daily inquiries, effecting the transfer of Fund shares and
facilitating effective cash management of shareholder account balances. It also
furnishes office space and equipment, telephone facilities, personnel and
informational literature distribution necessary and appropriate in providing the
described shareholder and transfer agency information and services. Schwab is
also the Fund's distributor, but receives no compensation for its services as
such.
Schwab was established in 1971 and is one of America's largest discount brokers.
The firm provides low-cost securities brokerage and related financial services
to over 3.3 million active customer accounts and has over 230 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. As a result of his beneficial ownership
interests in and other relationships with The Charles Schwab Corporation and its
affiliates, Mr. Schwab may be deemed to be a controlling person of Schwab and
the Investment Manager.
Geri Hom is Vice President of the Investment Manager and Senior Portfolio
Manager for the Fund. She joined Schwab in March 1995 as Portfolio
Manager - Equities and currently manages the four Schwab index funds and
co-manages the three Schwab Asset Director(R) Funds with approximately $3.4
billion in assets. For four years before joining Schwab, she was a Principal for
Wells Fargo Nikko Investment Advisors. For the seven prior years, she was Vice
President and Manager of the Domestic Equity Portfolio Management Group for
Wells Fargo Nikko. She holds a B.A. in business education from San Francisco
State University.
Stephen B. Ward, Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, has overall
responsibility for the management of the Fund's port-
11
<PAGE> 90
folio. Steve joined Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. as Vice President
and Portfolio Manager in April 1991 and was promoted to his current position in
August 1993. Prior to joining the Investment Manager, Steve was Vice President
and Portfolio Manager at Federated Investors. He holds an M.B.A. from the
Wharton School and a B.A. in economics from Virginia Tech. He has been a
chartered financial analyst since 1985.
Please see the Fund's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1996 for a discussion by the Investment Manager of the Fund's
performance.
OPERATING FEES AND EXPENSES. Pursuant to its Investment Advisory and
Administration Agreement with the Trust, the Investment Manager is entitled to
receive from the Fund 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 guarantee that total
fund operating expenses will not exceed 0.49% of the Fund's average daily net
assets. The expense limit will serve to maintain or lower the Fund's expenses
and thus maintain or increase the Fund's total return to shareholders. For the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1996, the Fund paid investment management fees and
total fund operating expenses of 0.30% and 0.59%, respectively, of the Fund's
average daily net assets.
For the transfer agency and shareholder services provided under its Transfer
Agency and Shareholder Service Agreements with the Trust, Schwab receives an
annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.05% and 0.20%, respectively, of the Fund's
average daily net assets. The Investment Manager and Schwab may reduce their
fees from time to time.
The Trust pays the expenses of its operations, including the fees and expenses
of independent accountants, legal counsel and custodian; the costs of
calculating net asset values, brokerage commissions or transaction costs; taxes;
registration fees; and the fees and expenses of qualifying the Trust and its
shares for distribution. Expenses are generally allocated among the Trust's
investment portfolios or classes on the basis of relative net assets at the time
they are incurred. However, expenses directly attributable to a particular Fund
or class are charged to that Fund or class.
PORTFOLIO BROKERAGE. When placing orders for the Fund's securities transactions,
the Investment Manager will use its judgment to obtain best price and execution.
The full range and quality of brokerage services available are considered in
making these determinations. For securities transactions in which Schwab is not
a principal, the Investment Manager may use Schwab or another qualified
affiliated broker or dealer to execute the Fund's transactions when it
reasonably believes that commissions (or prices) charged and transaction quality
will be at least comparable to those available from other qualified brokers or
dealers.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund will distribute substantially all of
its net investment income and net capital gains, if any, on an annual basis, as
determined by the Trust's Board of Trustees.
The value of your shares reflects any net investment income or net capital gains
that the Fund has earned but not yet distributed, so their value will be reduced
when distributions are paid. If you elect to receive these distribu-
12
<PAGE> 91
tions in cash, the value of your Fund holdings as a whole will decrease. If you
choose to reinvest your distributions, the reduced value of your shares will be
offset by the value of new shares purchased with reinvested distributions.
FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION. The Fund is treated as a separate entity for tax
purposes, has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Code, qualified as such, and intends to continue to so
qualify. In order to so qualify, the Fund will distribute substantially all of
its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders on an annual
basis and will meet certain other requirements. Such qualification will relieve
the Fund of liability for federal income tax to the extent its earnings are so
distributed.
Dividends paid by the Fund from net investment income and distributions from the
Fund's net short-term capital gains in excess of any net long-term capital
losses, whether received in cash or reinvested, generally will be taxable as
ordinary income. For corporate investors in the Fund, dividend distributions
designated by the Fund 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 Fund were a regular corporation.
Distributions received from the Fund 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 has
owned shares in the Fund. However, any loss on the sale or exchange of shares
held for six months or less shall, to the extent of any long-term capital gain
distributions received with respect to such shares, 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 Fund.
Records of dividends and other distributions, purchases and redemptions will be
reflected on shareholders' Schwab account statements. The Fund will notify
shareholders at least annually as to the nature of all distributions made during
the taxable year, including amounts qualifying as dividends and capital gain
distributions.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of the federal income tax considerations
affecting the Fund and its shareholders. The discussion of taxes set forth above
is included for general information purposes only. Prospective investors in the
Fund should consult their tax advisers with specific reference to their own tax
situations.
SHARE PRICE CALCULATION
THE FUND SELLS ITS SHARES FREE OF SALES CHARGES.
The price of a share of the Fund is its net asset value, which is determined
each Business Day at the close of trading on the Exchange, generally at 4:00
p.m. (Eastern time). The price is determined by adding the total assets of the
Fund, subtracting any liabilities, and then dividing the resulting amount by the
number of shares outstanding.
The Fund values its portfolio securities daily based on their market quotes if
they are readily available. If they are not readily available, the Investment
Manager assigns fair values pursuant to guidelines adopted in good faith by the
Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees reviews these values regularly.

HOW THE FUND SHOWS PERFORMANCE
THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE MAY BE ADVERTISED IN TERMS OF TOTAL RETURN. From time to
time the Fund may advertise its total return. Performance figures are based upon
historical results and are not intended to indicate future performance.
The Fund's total return measures its overall change in value over a period,
including share price movements, and assumes all dividends and capital gains
have been reinvested. Average annual total return reflects the hypothetical
annually compounded return mandated by the SEC. Other reported total return
figures may differ in that they may report non-standard periods or represent
aggregate or cumulative return over a stated length of time.
The Fund's performance may be compared to that of other mutual funds tracked by
mutual fund rating services, various indices that measure investment
performance, United States Treasury obligations, bank certificates of deposit,
the Consumer Price Index and other investments for which reliable performance
data is available. The Fund's performance may also be compared to averages,
performance rankings or other information prepared by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc. and Morningstar, Inc.
Additional performance information is included in the Fund's Annual Report to
Shareholders, which is available free of charge by calling 800-2 NO-LOAD.
TAX-ADVANTAGED
RETIREMENT PLANS
RETIREMENT PLANS OFFER EXCELLENT TAX ADVANTAGES, AND THE FUND MAY BE AN
ESPECIALLY SUITABLE INVESTMENT FOR THEM. Schwab offers tax-advantaged retirement
plans 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.
SCHWAB IRA. A retirement plan with a wide choice of investments offering people
with earned income the opportunity to compound earnings on a tax-deferred basis.
Schwab IRAs with balances of $10,000 or more by September 15, 1997 will not be
charged Schwab's $29 annual IRA account fee for the life of the account.
SCHWAB KEOGH. 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 Keogh Plans are currently charged an annual fee of $45.
SCHWAB CORPORATE RETIREMENT PLANS. A well-designed retirement program can help a
company attract and retain valuable employees. Call 800-2 NO-LOAD, 24 hours a
day, for more information.
GENERAL INFORMATION
ABOUT THE TRUST. The Trust was organized as a business trust under the laws of
Massachusetts on May 7, 1993 and may issue an unlimited number of shares of
beneficial interest or classes of shares in one or more investment portfolios or
series ("Series"). Currently, shares of ten Series are offered. The Board of
Trustees may authorize the issuance of shares of additional Series or classes if
it deems it desirable. Shares within each Series or class have equal,
noncumulative voting rights and equal rights as to distributions, assets and
liquidation of such Series, except to the extent
14
<PAGE> 93
such voting rights or rights to distributions, assets and liquidation vary among
classes of a Series.
The Trust is not required to hold annual shareholders' meetings and does not
intend to do so. It will, however, hold special meetings as required or deemed
desirable by the Board of Trustees for such purposes as electing or removing
Trustees, changing fundamental policies, or approving or amending an investment
advisory agreement. In addition, a Trustee may be removed by shareholders at a
special meeting called upon written request by shareholders owning at least 10%
of the outstanding shares of the Trust. Shareholders will vote by Series and not
in the aggregate (for example, when voting to approve the investment advisory
agreement), except when voting in the aggregate is permitted under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, such as for the election of
Trustees.
SHAREHOLDER GUIDE
PLACE ORDERS AND OBTAIN SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION. You may place purchase and
redemption orders as well as exchange requests by calling 800-2 NO-LOAD, 24
hours a day, where trained representatives are available to answer questions
about the Fund and your account. The privilege to initiate transactions by
telephone, as discussed below, is automatically available through your Schwab
account. The Fund will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine. If these procedures are not followed, the
Fund may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent
instructions. These procedures may include requiring a form of personal
identification prior to acting upon instructions received by telephone,
providing written confirmation of such instructions and tape recording telephone
transactions.
Investors should be aware that telephone transactions may be difficult during
periods of drastic economic or market changes. Shareholders who experience
difficulties in purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares by telephone can
utilize the alternative methods discussed below to place their orders.
To assist in minimizing administrative costs, share certificates will not be
issued. Records regarding share ownership are maintained by the Transfer Agent.
You may purchase shares through an account maintained with Schwab or through any
other entity which has been designated by Schwab. The following information
regarding the purchase, exchange and redemption of Fund shares through a Schwab
account relates solely to transactions through Schwab accounts and should not be
read to apply to transactions through other designated entities. For more
information, see "Purchase and Redemption of Shares" in the SAI or contact such
designated entity.

within the last six months, or if the shareholder's combined account balances at
Schwab total $10,000 or more.
Schwab currently imposes no fee for opening a Schwab One(R)account with a
minimum of $5,000 account equity. Schwab One accounts containing less than
$5,000 account equity are subject to a fee of $5 per month imposed by Schwab if
there have been fewer than two commissionable trades within the last twelve
months.
MINIMUM FUND INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS. Your initial investment in the Fund may be
as low as $1,000 ($500 for IRAs, certain other retirement plans, and custodial
accounts). The minimum subsequent investment is $100. These requirements may be
reduced or waived on certain occasions. (See
16

AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT
Once you have satisfied the initial investment requirement, you may authorize
Schwab to automatically purchase Fund shares at intervals and in amounts
pre-selected by you on your behalf. (See "Schwab Automatic Investment Plan.")
SELECTING A DISTRIBUTION OPTION. You may select from the three distribution
options listed below when you first become a shareholder in the Fund. If you
already are a Fund shareholder and wish to change your distribution option,
please call 800-2 NO-LOAD for assistance.
1. AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT: Both income dividends and any capital gain
distributions will be reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. This
option will be selected automatically unless you specify another option. If
you are purchasing Fund shares through Schwab's Automatic Investment Plan,
you must choose this distribution option for this Fund.
17
<PAGE> 96
2. CASH DIVIDENDS/REINVESTED CAPITAL GAINS: Income dividends will be paid in
cash and any capital gain distributions will be reinvested in additional
shares.
3. ALL CASH: Income dividends and any capital gain distributions will both be
paid in cash.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions subject to reinvestment will be
invested at the net asset value next determined after their record date. Cash
distributions will be credited to your Schwab account and will be held there or
mailed to you depending on the account standing instructions applicable to your
account. For information on how to wire funds from your Schwab account to your
bank, see "Other Important Information - Wire Transfers to Your Bank."
OTHER PURCHASE INFORMATION. The Fund reserves the right in its sole discretion
and without prior notice to shareholders to withdraw or suspend all or any part
of the offering made by this Prospectus, to reject purchase orders or to change
the minimum investment requirements. All orders to purchase shares of the Fund
are subject to acceptance by the Fund and are not binding until confirmed or
accepted in writing. Any purchase which would result in a single shareholder
owning shares with a value of more than 10% of a Fund's assets or $3 million,
whichever is greater, are subject to prior approval by the Fund. Schwab will
charge a $15 service fee against an investor's Schwab account if his or her
investment check is returned because of insufficient or uncollected funds or a
stop payment order.
HOW TO SELL OR EXCHANGE SHARES
SALE OF SHARES. Shares will be redeemed at the net asset value next determined
after receipt and verification by Schwab's Transfer Agent or its authorized
agent, of proper redemption instructions, as set forth on the following pages.
Payment for redeemed shares will be credited directly to your Schwab account no
later than 7 days after Schwab's Transfer Agent or its authorized agent receives
your redemption instructions in proper form. Redemption proceeds will then be
held there or mailed to you depending on the account standing instructions you
selected. For information on how to wire funds from your Schwab account to your
bank, see "Other Important Information - Wire Transfers to Your Bank." If you
purchased shares by check, your redemption proceeds may be held in your Schwab
account until your check clears (which may take up to 15 days). Depending on the
type of Schwab account you have, your money may earn interest during any holding
period.
The Fund may suspend redemption rights or postpone payments when: trading on the
Exchange is restricted; the Exchange is closed for any reason other than its
customary weekend or holiday closings; emergency circumstances as determined by
the SEC exist; or for such other circumstances as the SEC may permit. The Fund
may also elect to invoke a 7-day period for cash settlement of individual
redemption requests. "See Purchase and Redemption of Shares" in the SAI.)
EXCHANGE OF SHARES. The exchange privilege allows you to exchange your
SchwabFunds(R) shares for shares of any other SchwabFunds class or Series
available to investors in your state. Thus, you can conveniently modify your
investments if your goals or market conditions change. An exchange involves the
redemption of Fund shares and the purchase of shares of any SchwabFunds class or
series of your choice. An exchange of shares will be treated
18
<PAGE> 97
as a sale and purchase of shares for federal income tax purposes. Note that you
must meet the initial or subsequent minimum investment requirements applicable
to the shares you wish to receive in exchange. The Fund reserves the right on 60
days' written notice to modify, limit or terminate the exchange privilege.
EARLY WITHDRAWAL FEE PAID TO THE FUND. The Fund is meant to be a long-term
investment. Frequent trading in Fund shares by short-term investors increases
the Fund's costs. To offset the costs of short-term trading and to ensure that
long-term investors do not bear these costs, the Fund assesses a 0.50% (one-half
of one percent) early withdrawal fee upon redemption or exchange proceeds
attributable to shares purchased and held less than six months. To benefit Fund
shareholders directly, the early withdrawal fee is paid directly to the Fund and
does not apply to the redemption or exchange of shares acquired through
reinvestment of dividends or capital gains. Solely for purposes of calculating
the amount (if any) of the early withdrawal fee, shares will be treated as
redeemed on a "first-in first-out basis," except that shares acquired through
dividend reinvestment will be treated as redeemed first. This method of
calculating the fee should result in the lowest total early withdrawal fee. The
Fund reserves the right to waive this fee for certain clients of Schwab
Institutional and the Trust Company and for certain tax-advantaged retirement
plans.

SCHWAB AUTOMATIC
INVESTMENT PLAN
THE FREE SCHWAB AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN IS A FAST, CONVENIENT WAY TO MAKE
REGULAR INVESTMENTS IN THE FUND. Schwab's Automatic Investment Plan ("AIP")
allows you to make periodic investments in non-money market
19
<PAGE> 98
SchwabFunds(R) (and certain other funds available through Schwab) automatically
and conveniently. You can make automatic investments in any amount, from $100 to
$50,000, once you meet the Fund's investment minimum. Automatic investments are
made from your Schwab account, and you may select from the following methods to
make automatic investments using the uninvested cash in your Schwab account:
using the proceeds of redemption of shares of the Schwab Money Fund linked to
your Schwab account; or using the Schwab MoneyLink(R) Transfer Service. As long
as you are purchasing the Fund's shares through AIP, all dividends and
distributions paid to you by the Fund must be reinvested in additional shares of
that Fund. For more detailed information about this service, or to establish
your AIP, call 800-2 NO-LOAD, 24 hours a day.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
MINIMUM BALANCE AND ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS. Due to the relatively high cost of
maintaining accounts with smaller holdings, the Fund reserves the right to
redeem a shareholder's shares if, as a result of redemptions, the aggregate
value of a shareholder's account drops below the Fund's $500 minimum balance
requirement ($250 in the case of IRAs, other retirement plans and custodial
accounts.) Shareholders will be notified in writing 30 days before the Fund
takes such action to allow them to increase their holdings to at least the
minimum level. Fund shares will be automatically redeemed should the Schwab
account in which they are carried be closed.
CONSOLIDATED MAILINGS. In an effort to reduce mailing costs, the Fund
consolidates shareholder mailings by household. This consolidation means that a
household having multiple accounts with the identical address of record will
receive a single package during each shareholder mailing. If you do not wish
this consolidation to apply to your account(s), please write Schwab at 101
Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94104 to that effect.
WIRE TRANSFERS TO YOUR BANK. If you so instruct your local Schwab office, funds
will be wired from your Schwab account to your bank account. Call 800-2 NO LOAD
for more information. A service fee will be charged against your Schwab account
for each wire sent.

SCHWAB S&P 500 FUND - E.SHARES(TM)
THE SCHWAB S&P 500 FUND (THE "FUND") seeks to track the price and dividend
performance (total return) of common stocks of United States companies, as
represented by the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks (the "S&P
500(R)" or "Index"). The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies
composing the S&P 500. 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"). This Prospectus describes both of the Fund's classes of shares - the
Investor Shares and the e.Shares.

PROSPECTUS FEBRUARY 28, 1997
<PAGE> 105
KEY FEATURES OF OUR FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: seeks to track the price and dividend performance (total
return) of common stocks of United States companies as represented by the S&P
500(R). The S&P 500 is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of the prices of 500
large company common stocks selected by Standard & Poor's ("Index Stocks").
These stocks represent approximately 70% of the market value of all common
stocks publicly traded in the United States.*
The Index Stocks of the 50 largest companies of the S&P 500 account for
approximately 49% of the Index. Total returns for the S&P 500 assume
reinvestment of dividends and do not include fees such as those charged by the
Investment Manager. Total returns for the S&P 500 also do not reflect taxes,
brokerage commissions or other fees that you would pay if you were to invest
directly in all the Index Stocks.
The Fund seeks investment results that track, rather than beat, the total return
of the S&P 500. Thus, it does not "actively" choose investments in the same way
as actively managed stock funds do. Those funds choose investments based on
economic, financial and market factors and investment judgment. In contrast, the
Fund uses a "passive" or "indexing" strategy. It buys and sells stocks primarily
to match the Index, invest cash from Fund share purchases or obtain cash for
redemptions of Fund shares. Thus, the Fund and the Investment Manager normally
do not judge the merits of any particular stock. Under normal market conditions,
the Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in Index Stocks. For more
detailed information, see "Investment Objective and Policies."
*Source: Standard & Poor's as of January 1997.
STRATEGY: to invest in common stocks of companies composing the S&P 500 and to
minimize trading and other costs.
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. 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 Objective and
Policies" and "Investments and Techniques Used by Our Fund and Related Risks."
PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT. The Investment Manager, currently manages the
SchwabFunds Family(R) of 26 mutual funds with over $45 billion in assets as of
February 4, 1997. For more details about CSIM, see "Organization and Management
of Our Fund," and for a current list of the SchwabFunds(R), see the glossary.
MARKET PERFORMANCE. For the 20 years ended 1996, the S&P 500 provided an average
annual total return of 14.49%.* Total return figures for the S&P 500 assume
reinvestment of all dividends paid by stocks included in the Index. These
figures do not include fees such as those charged by the Fund. They also do not
include taxes, brokerage or other fees that you would pay if you invested
directly in all the stocks of the Index.
*Source: Morningstar, Inc. Past performance of the S&P 500 does not necessarily
reflect future performance results of the S&P 500 or the Fund.

<PAGE> 106
LOW-COST INVESTING. You pay no sales fees or charges when you buy or sell shares
of the Fund. The Investment Manager and Schwab voluntarily guarantee that
through at least February 29, 2000, total operating expenses for the Investor
Shares and the e.Shares(TM) will not exceed 0.35% and 0.28%, respectively, of
the average daily net assets of each class of shares. After that, these
guarantees may be terminated, modified or continued. For more details, see
"Investing in Our Fund" and "Organization and Management of Our Fund - Operating
Fees and Expenses."
TARGETED STRATEGIES TO MINIMIZE CURRENT CAPITAL GAINS TAX LIABILITY. Taxes can
erode the returns a shareholder earns from a mutual fund investment and are an
important, and often overlooked, factor when evaluating a mutual fund's
performance. For many mutual funds, shareholder tax liability is of minimal
concern in the investment management process. In contrast, the Investment
Manager of the Fund actively employs specific investment policies designed to
minimize capital gain distributions. Any trading within the portfolio has the
potential to generate capital gains. In order to minimize realized capital gain
distributions while pursuing the Fund's investment objective, the Investment
Manager focuses on individual tax lots in deciding when and how to manage the
realization of net capital gains. In addition, the Investment Manager constantly
monitors, analyzes and evaluates the portfolio as well as market conditions to
carefully manage necessary trading activity and to determine when there are
opportunities to harvest capital losses, which can then be used to offset
realized capital gains. Through the use of these and other strategies, the
Investment Manager seeks to minimize capital gain distributions to an extent not
found in most mutual funds. By deferring the tax on capital gains, where
possible, until shares are sold by an investor, unrealized gains can accumulate
in the Fund, helping to build the value of a shareholder's investment. In
addition, shareholders are given greater control over the timing of the
recognition of such gains and the impact on their tax situation. There can be no
assurance that the Investment Manager will succeed in avoiding realized net
capital gains. See "Investment Objective and Policies."
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES - INVESTOR SHARES. Schwab's professional representatives
are available toll-free 24 hours a day at 800-2 NO-LOAD to service your account.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES - E.SHARES(TM). The e.Shares are available only to clients
of Schwab Institutional and the Trust Company and to certain tax-advantaged
retirement plans that can execute their trading and information requests through
SchwabLink(R). Transactions in the e.Shares are not available by telephone, by
mail or in person. See "Investing in Our Fund."
CONVENIENT REPORTING. You receive regular Schwab statements that combine all
your investment activity, including mutual funds, in one report.
FREE AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN. Schwab's free Automatic Investment Plan allows
you to make regular investments in the Investor Shares in amounts and at
intervals that you select. For more information, see "Investing in Our
Fund - Schwab's Automatic Investment Plan."
RETIREMENT PLANS. Schwab offers tax-advantaged retirement plans for which the
Fund may be an appropriate investment. For more information, see "Matching the
Fund to Your Investment Needs - Tax Advantaged Retirement Plans."

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 investment management fees paid to the
Investment Manager, transfer agency fees and other expenses. These expenses
cover, for example, services such as investment research, management of the
Fund, maintenance of shareholder records and the issuance of shareholder
statements. Each class of shares is charged its own annual operating expenses
from its income, which is factored into the dividends paid to shareholders and
into the share price of that class. As a shareholder, you are not charged any of
these fees directly.

(1) These amounts have been restated to reflect voluntary waivers of a portion
of the management fee by the Investment Manager. If there were no such
waiver, the maximum management fee would be 0.36% of the Fund's average
daily net assets.
(2) "Other Expenses" are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year
for the Fund after fee reductions and expense reimbursements. If there were
no such reductions, the estimated other expenses of the Investor Shares and
the e.Shares would have been 0.53% and 0.83%, respectively, of the average
daily net assets of each class of shares. See "Organization and Management
of Our Fund - Operating Fees and Expenses" for information regarding the
differing expenses for the Fund's multiple classes of shares.
(3) This amount for the Investor Shares, has been restated to reflect and for
the e.Shares reflects the voluntary guarantee by the Investment Manager and
Schwab that, through at least February 29, 2000, total operating expenses of
the Investor Shares and the e.Shares will not exceed 0.35% and 0.28%
respectively, of the average daily net assets of each class. During the
fiscal period ended October 31, 1996, total operating expenses for Investor
Shares and e.Shares were guaranteed by the Investment Manager and Schwab not
to exceed 0.49% and 0.28%, respectively. Without these guarantees, total
operating expenses of the Investor Shares and e.Shares for the fiscal period
ended October 31, 1996 would have been 0.89% and 1.19% of the average daily
net assets of each class of shares.
(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 ("IRAs") with balances of $10,000 or more by September
15, 1997 will not be charged Schwab's $29 annual IRA account

annual fee of $45. See "Investing in Our Fund" for information regarding
minimum balance and investment requirements.

MATCHING THE FUND TO YOUR
INVESTMENT NEEDS
The Fund is designed to provide you exposure to the growth potential of the
stock market. In the past, 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. Typical
uses for the Fund may include saving for retirement or college funding. The Fund
is also appropriate for use in IRAs and other retirement plans. A broadly-based
stock index 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 a "core" equity investment around which you tailor your overall plan.
The Fund offers two different classes of shares - one of which may be
appropriate for you. Although both classes invest in the same portfolio of
stocks, the classes' operating expense ratios, and therefore their return and
per share net asset value ("NAV"), are different. The lower operating expense
ratio of the e.Shares(TM) reflects the substantially lower costs of entering
transactions and communicating with the Fund electronically through
SchwabLink(R).
The e.Shares are available only to clients of Schwab Institutional and the Trust
Company and to certain tax-advantaged retirement plans that can execute their
trading and information requests through SchwabLink. Transactions in e.Shares
are not available by telephone, by mail or in person.
The Investor Shares are appropriate for investors who desire to transact or
communicate with the Fund by telephone or by mail, or who do not want to be
limited to using a computer for these purposes.
The Fund seeks investment results that track, rather than beat, the total return
of the S&P 500(R). Thus, we do not "actively" choose investments in the same way
as actively managed stock funds do. Those funds choose investments based on
economic, financial and market factors and investment judgment. In contrast, we
use a "passive" or "indexing" strategy. This means that we buy and sell stocks
primarily to match the Index, invest cash from purchases or obtain cash for
redemptions of Fund shares. The Fund and the Investment Manager normally do not
judge the merits of any particular stock. Thus, you should not expect our Fund
to match the potential returns of funds that seek growth aggressively.
The Fund is designed 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 (buy) order that we deem to be
disruptive to the Fund or its investments.
TAX-ADVANTAGED RETIREMENT PLANS. Schwab offers tax-advantaged retirement plans
for which the Fund may be an 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 $30,000. Schwab also offers Corporate

RISK CONSIDERATIONS. Because we invest in substantially all of the 500 common
stocks composing the Index, investing 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 tends 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. Their wide range
of industries also tends to lessen the impact of one industry's decline.
MARKET RISK. While the Fund's diversification strategy helps protect
shareholders from individual stock and industry risk, it does not protect
shareholders from volatility caused by movement in the market as a whole.
Because the Fund is designed to represent S&P market performance, the Fund's
performance will fall and rise accordingly. It is important to note that the
market can fluctuate significantly.
An indexing strategy requires commitment to riding out the market's short-term
swings in order to recognize its long-term growth potential. For this reason,
the Fund is best viewed as a long-term investment.
Also, to better track the investment results of the S&P 500(R), the Fund 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. See "Investments and Techniques Used by Our Fund and Related
Risks" in this Prospectus and "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.
INVESTING IN OUR FUND
You may purchase shares through an account maintained with Schwab or through any
other entity that has been designated by Schwab. The following information
regarding the purchase, exchange and redemption of Investor Shares and
e.Shares(TM) through a Schwab account relates solely to transactions through
Schwab accounts and should not be read to apply to transactions through other
designated entities. For more information, see "Purchase and Redemption of
Shares" in the SAI.
NEW INVESTORS TO SCHWAB need to open a Schwab account by completing and signing
an account application. Mail it, together with your check, to the address

later than 7 days after the Transfer Agent or its authorized agent receives your
sell instructions in proper form. Proceeds will then be held in your Schwab
account or mailed to you depending on the account standing instructions you have
selected. For information on how to wire funds from your Schwab account to your
bank, call Schwab at 800-2 NO-LOAD.
If you purchased shares by check, your sales proceeds may be held in your Schwab
account until your check clears (which may take up to 15 days). Depending on the
type of Schwab account you have, your money may earn interest during any holding
period.
The Fund may suspend redemption rights or postpone payments when trading on the
New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is restricted or is closed for any
reason other than its customary weekend or holiday closings, emergency
circumstances as determined by the SEC exist or for any other circumstances as
the SEC may permit. The Fund may also elect to invoke a 7-day period for cash
settlement of individual redemption requests. (See "Purchase and Redemption of
Shares" in the SAI.)
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
AND POLICIES
The Fund's investment objective is to seek to track the price and dividend
performance (total return) of common stocks of U.S. companies, as represented by
the S&P 500(R).
The Fund seeks investment results that track, rather than beat, the total return
of the S&P 500. Thus, it does not "actively" choose investments in the same way
as actively managed stock funds do. Those funds choose investments based on
economic, financial and market factors and investment judgment. In contrast, the
Fund uses a "passive" or "indexing" strategy. It buys and sells stocks primarily
to match the Index, invest cash from Fund share purchases or obtain cash for
redemptions of Fund shares. Thus, the Fund and the Investment Manager normally
do not judge the merits of any particular stock.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its total
assets in Index Stocks. The Fund generally tries to match its Index Stock
holdings to those Stocks' weightings in the Index. In extraordinary
circumstances, the Fund may exclude an Index Stock from its holdings or include
a similar stock in its place if it believes that doing so will help achieve its
investment objective. The Fund may purchase securities of companies with which
it may be affiliated to the extent that these companies are represented in the
Index.
TAX EFFICIENCY. The Fund is managed to minimize the Fund's current realized
capital gains. This feature can make a real difference in your after-tax return,
especially if you are in a high tax bracket. The Fund has adopted a number of
policies that help reduce its portfolio turnover ratio and minimize the level of
current realized capital gains. These policies include selling the highest tax
cost securities first, not automatically rebalancing the portfolio to reflect
changes in the Index and trading only round-lots or large blocks of securities.
These policies will be utilized only to the extent they do not have a material
effect on the Fund's ability to track the performance of the Index.
Although the Fund focuses on Index Stocks, it may 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 may
11
<PAGE> 115
use options and futures contracts to adjust its correlation to the S&P 500(R).
The Fund typically will not track the performance of the S&P 500 perfectly. Fund
costs, fees and expenses impair the Fund's correlation, as do the amounts and
timing of Fund cash inflows and outflows. Changes in the securities markets can
also inhibit the match. The Fund's strategy of minimizing capital gains and
portfolio turnover may also cause differences. Over the long term, the Fund will
attempt to achieve a correlation between its performance and that of the S&P 500
of 0.9 or better. A figure of 1.0 would indicate perfect correlation. The
Investment Manager monitors performance of the Fund and the S&P 500 on a regular
basis. In the unlikely event that the Fund cannot achieve a long-term
correlation of 0.9 or better, the Board of Trustees will consider alternative
arrangements.
INVESTMENTS AND TECHNIQUES
USED BY OUR FUND AND
RELATED RISKS
In seeking its objective, the Fund may buy and sell the investments and employ
the techniques described below. Please see the 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 and options, 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.
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. Because any investment involves risk, we cannot
guarantee achieving the Fund's objective.
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, though their 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 for the short term or long term. Smaller
company securities are especially sensitive to these factors.
SHORT-TERM DEBT SECURITIES. While the Fund tries to remain invested in Index
Stocks as fully as possible, it must manage cash flows resulting from the
purchase and sale of Fund shares. Thus, the Fund may also 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 related
bodies. It may also use certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers'
acceptances. The Fund may also 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 may also buy and sell shares of other mutual funds to manage its
cash flows.
THE FUND MAY USE FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. To track the Index in an
efficient and cost-effective manner, the Fund may use stock futures contracts
and options, which are types of derivative transactions. Specifically, the Fund
may enter into futures contracts and options on futures contracts provided that
the aggregate deposits required on these contracts
12
<PAGE> 116
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.
The Fund may use futures contracts and options for several reasons: to more
closely track the performance of the S&P 500(R); to reallocate the Fund's assets
among Index 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 security or index.
Trading costs for futures contracts and options often are less than the costs of
direct investments. Thus, the Fund may use these instruments to reduce the
Fund's total trading costs. Also, futures contracts only require a small initial
margin deposit. That way, the Fund is often able to keep a cash reserve for
future redemptions but in effect remain fully invested. The Fund sells futures
contracts upon net redemptions to avoid leverage.
Futures contracts and options pose certain risks. The values of futures
contracts and options may not perfectly track changes in the Index Stocks'
holdings. The secondary market for a futures contract may also not be liquid,
resulting in the Fund's inability to close a futures position before it settles.
The Fund seeks to avoid the risk of tracking error by careful selection of the
futures and options to match the Fund's holdings. It also buys and sells on a
national exchange that has 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 its 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.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. The Fund may purchase 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, the 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 these 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 the Fund.
13
<PAGE> 117
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. 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. Any loan 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 make these
purchases only after obtaining any required regulatory approvals. Investment by
the Fund in other investment companies may cause you to bear duplicative fees
for certain services.
The Fund has adopted a number of policies that should cause its portfolio
turnover rate to be below that experienced in many other mutual fund portfolios.
The Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal period ended October 31, 1996
was 1%. Lower portfolio turnover acts to minimize associated transaction costs
as well as the level of realized capital gains. Shareholders' capital gains
distributions should be reduced and their total return increased by these
policies.
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: Both income dividends and any capital gain
distributions will be reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. This option
will be selected automatically unless you specify another option. If you are
purchasing Investor shares through Schwab's Automatic Investment Plan, you must
choose this distribution option for the Fund.
2. CASH DIVIDENDS/REINVESTED CAPITAL GAINS: Income dividends will be paid in
cash, and any capital gain distributions will be reinvested in additional
shares.
3. ALL CASH: Income dividends and any capital gain distributions will both be
paid in cash.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions subject to reinvestment will be
invested at the NAV next determined after their record date. Cash distributions
will be credited to your Schwab account and will be held there or mailed to you
depending on the account
14
<PAGE> 118
standing instructions applicable to your account.
To change the distribution option you have selected, call 800-2 NO-LOAD.
The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income
and net capital gain, if any, each year annually in December, as determined by
the Board of Trustees. We will automatically reinvest all your distributions in
additional class shares unless you elect otherwise.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following is only a summary of general information regarding the federal
income tax laws affecting you and the Fund. Thus, you should 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, the Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment
taxable income and net capital gain (if any) each year. In addition, we will
meet certain other Code requirements. As a regulated investment company, the
Fund will pay no federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes its
earnings to shareholders.
Dividends that the Fund pays to you from net investment income are generally
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. For corporate shareholders in the
Fund, dividend distributions designated by the Fund to be from dividends
received from qualifying domestic corporations will be eligible for the 70%
corporate dividends-received reduction to the extent they would qualify if the
Fund were a regular corporation. These tax rules apply whether distributions are
received in cash or reinvested.
If you are not taxed on your income, you may be subject to different tax
treatment.
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. However, an exchange between the Investor Shares and the e.Shares(TM)
should not be treated as a taxable event.
You will be provided with a record of all dividends, distributions, purchases
and sales on your regular Schwab brokerage account statement. At least once a
year you will be notified of the federal income tax consequences of all
distributions made that year to your account.
HOW WE DETERMINE THE PRICE OF YOUR SHARES
The price of a single Investor Share or e.Share of the Fund on any given day is
the NAV per share of that class of shares. We determine NAV each Business Day at
the close of trading on the Exchange, generally at 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time). We
determine the price of each class of shares by first valuing the total assets of
the Fund attributable to that class, then subtracting that class's share of any
liabilities and dividing the balance by the number of shares outstanding of that
class.
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 pursuant to guidelines adopted in good faith by the Board of
15
<PAGE> 119
Trustees. The Board of Trustees reviews these values regularly.
Purchase or redemption orders and exchange requests will be executed at the NAV
next determined after receipt by the Transfer Agent or its authorized agent.
HOW THE FUND REPORTS PERFORMANCE
From time to time the Fund may advertise the total return and yield of each
class of shares. These figures reflect past results and are not intended to
predict future performance. We often will compare the Fund's performance to the
S&P 500(R) and other indices or combination of indices that measure investment
performance.
Total return measures the percentage change in the value of an investment in a
class of shares 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.
The Investor Shares and the e.Shares(TM) are subject to different expenses. As a
result, their performances will differ.
ANNUAL AND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT MAILINGS
Twice a year, the Fund will provide a report to all shareholders describing the
performance of the Fund and each class of its shares and outlining its
investments. In order to reduce mailing costs, these shareholder mailings are
consolidated by household. If a household has multiple accounts and the same
address of record for all the accounts, mailings for all accounts at that
address will be sent in a single package. If you do not want this consolidation
of mailings to apply to your account, please write to SchwabFunds(R) at the
address on the front of this Prospectus. To request a free copy of the Fund's
Annual or Semi-Annual Report, call 800-2 NO-LOAD.
ORGANIZATION AND

OPERATING FEES AND EXPENSES
The Investment Manager provides investment management services under the terms
of its Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement with the Trust and is
entitled to receive a graduated annual fee payable monthly from the Fund. The
rate is 0.36% of the first $1 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets;
0.33% of the next $1 billion; and 0.31% of net assets over $2 billion.
The Investment Manager and Schwab voluntarily guarantee through February 29,
2000 that total operating expenses of the Fund allocable to the Investor Shares
and the e.Shares will not exceed 0.35% and 0.28%, respectively, of the average
daily net assets of that class of shares. For purposes of this guarantee,
"operating expenses" do not include interest expenses, taxes, foreign taxes paid
or 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 each class's total
return to shareholders.
For its services as Transfer Agent, Schwab is entitled to receive an annual fee
from each class of shares of 0.05% of its average daily net assets. In addition,
for shareholder services provided, Schwab is entitled to receive from the
Investor Shares and the e.Shares(TM) an annual fee of 0.20% and 0.05%,
respectively, of the average daily net assets of that class of shares. Schwab
may waive certain expenses incurred by each class of shares of the Fund for
these services in order to limit its ratio of operating expenses to average net
assets.
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 accountants, legal
counsel and custodians; the cost of maintaining books and records of account;
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. Schwab may absorb or reimburse certain expenses incurred by each
class of shares of the Fund in order to limit its ratio of operating expenses to
average net assets.
These expenses are generally allocated among the Trust's investment portfolios
or classes on the basis of relative net assets at the time the expenses are
incurred. However, expenses directly attributable to a particular series or
class are charged to that series or class. The differing expenses applicable to
the Investor Shares and the e.Shares(TM) of the Fund will cause the performance
of the classes to differ.
PORTFOLIO BROKERAGE. When placing orders for the Fund's securities transactions,
the Investment Manager 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 Investment Manager 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) charged 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 ten 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 each series except to the extent that these voting rights or
rights as to distributions, assets and liquidation vary among classes of a
series.
The Fund's two classes of shares represent ownership of the same investment
portfolio. The differing expenses applicable to the two classes cause their
distributions and share prices to differ.
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 be redeemed automatically 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 changing a
18
<PAGE> 122
Fund's fundamental policies, electing or removing Trustees or approving 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 a Fund 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 each class 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 differs 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.
S&P 500(R) LICENSE. The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by
Standard & Poor's ("S&P"). S&P makes no representation or warranty, express or
implied, to the shareholders of the Fund or any member of the public regarding
the advisability of investing in securities generally or in the Fund
particularly or the ability of the S&P 500 Index to track general stock market
performance. S&P's only relationship to the Fund is the licensing of certain
trademarks and trade names of S&P and of the S&P 500 Index, which is determined,
composed and calculated by S&P without regard to the Fund. S&P has no obligation
to take the needs of the Fund or its shareholders into consideration in
determining, composing or calculating the S&P 500 Index. S&P is not responsible
for and has not participated in the determination of the prices and amount of
Fund shares, the timing of the issuance or sale of Fund shares or in the
determination or calculation of the equation by which the Fund's shares are to
be converted into cash. S&P has no obligation or liability in connection with
the administration, marketing or trading of the Fund's shares.
S&P does not guarantee the accuracy and/or the completeness of the S&P 500 Index
or any data included therein, and S&P shall have no liability for any errors,
omissions or interruptions therein. S&P makes no warranty, express or implied,
as to results to be obtained by the Fund, its shareholders or any other person
or entity from the use of the S&P 500 Index or any data included therein. S&P
makes no express or implied warranties and expressly disclaims all warranties of
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or use with respect to the
S&P 500 Index or any data included therein. Without limiting any of the
foregoing, in no event shall S&P have any liability for any special, punitive,
indirect or consequential damages (including lost profits), even if notified of
the possibility of such damages.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
INTERNATIONAL INDEX FUND
The investment objective of the International Index Fund is to attempt
to track the price and dividend performance (total return) of the Schwab
International Index(R) (the "International Index"), an index created to
represent the performance of common stocks and other equity securities issued by
large publicly traded companies from countries around the world with major
developed securities markets, excluding the United States.
SMALL-CAP INDEX FUND
The investment objective of the Small-Cap Index Fund is to attempt to
track the price and dividend performance (total return) of the Schwab Small-Cap
IndexTM (the "Small-Cap Index"), an index created to represent the performance
of common stocks of the second 1,000 largest United States companies, ranked by
market capitalization (share price times the number of shares outstanding).
HIGH GROWTH FUND
The investment objective of the High Growth Fund is to provide high
capital growth with less volatility than an all-stock portfolio. This Fund
provides the greatest exposure to various stock categories, including domestic
large and small company stocks and international stocks.
BALANCED GROWTH FUND
The investment objective of the Balanced Growth Fund is to provide
maximum total return, including both capital growth and income. This Fund
represents a more balanced approach to stocks and bonds.
CONSERVATIVE GROWTH FUND
The investment objective of the Conservative Growth Fund is to provide
income and more growth potential than an all-bond portfolio. This Fund's stock
component is designed to help offset inflation.
Each Asset Director Fund may seek to achieve its investment objective
by investing directly in portfolio securities or by investing indirectly in
underlying affiliated mutual funds ("underlying Schwab Funds"), as described
herein.
S&P 500 FUND-INVESTOR SHARES
S&P 500 FUND-E.SHARES(TM)
The Fund's investment objective is to track the price and dividend
performance (total return) of common stocks of U. S. companies, as represented
by Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the "S&P 500").
2
<PAGE> 132
ANALYTICS FUND
The investment objective of the Analytics Fund is to achieve long-term
capital growth.
SCHWAB ONESOURCE PORTFOLIOS-INTERNATIONAL
Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International is a mutual fund that seeks
long-term capital appreciation. To achieve this goal, the Investment Manager,
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. ("CSIM"), will attempt to identify
and select a diversified portfolio of international equity funds which presents
the greatest capital growth potential ("underlying fund(s)") based on an
analysis of many factors, including the underlying funds' investment objective,
the history of portfolio manager(s), and total return, volatility and expenses.
SCHWAB ONESOURCE PORTFOLIOS-GROWTH ALLOCATION AND BALANCED ALLOCATION
The Funds are asset allocation funds that provide easy access to
actively managed portfolios of funds from well-known families. The investment
objective of the Growth Allocation is to provide you with high capital growth
with less volatility than a portfolio comprised entirely of stock funds. Of
course, a portfolio with lower volatility also has lower growth potential than a
portfolio comprised entirely of stock funds. The investment objective of the
Balanced Allocation is to provide you with capital growth and income with less
volatility than the Growth Allocation.
The investment objectives stated above for each of the Funds, along
with certain investment restrictions adopted by the Funds, are fundamental and
cannot be changed without approval by holders of a majority of the Funds'
outstanding voting shares, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act").
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
The International Index Fund and Asset Director Funds expect to invest
in stocks of foreign issuers. The International Index Fund will invest primarily
in such stocks. The Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International expects to invest
primarily in other investment companies which invest in stocks of
3
<PAGE> 133
foreign issuers, and may invest directly in domestic and foreign securities. The
Growth Allocation and the Balanced Allocation may invest in other investment
companies which invest in stocks of foreign issuers, and may invest directly in
domestic and foreign securities. We expect that many of the underlying funds may
invest up to 100% of their assets in foreign securities. Investing in foreign
issuers involves certain special considerations, including those set forth
below, which are typically not 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, Asset Director
Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced
Allocation and underlying 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation 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 United States, 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth
Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying 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, Asset Director
Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced
Allocation and underlying funds to miss attractive investment opportunities.
Losses to the International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying
funds
4
<PAGE> 134
arising out of the inability to fulfill a contract to sell such securities could
result in potential liability to the International Index Fund, Asset Director
Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced
Allocation and underlying funds.
In addition, with respect to those countries in which the International
Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International,
Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying funds may invest or other
countries which may have a significant impact on the companies in which the
International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying
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, Asset
Director Funds', Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International's, Growth
Allocation's, Balanced Allocation's and underlying 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 net assets
in companies located in developing countries. Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International may invest directly, or indirectly through underlying
funds which invest primarily in companies located in developing countries.
Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation may invest up to 10% of their total
net assets directly, or indirectly through underlying funds which invest
primarily 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
unforeseeable what risk, if any, may exist to the International Index Fund's,
Asset Director Funds', Schwab Portfolios-International's, Growth Allocation's,
Balanced Allocation's and underlying 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.
5
<PAGE> 135
DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS
Each of the Asset Director Funds, Growth Allocation and Balanced
Allocation may invest in American Depositary Receipts, European Depositary
Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Shares ("ADRs," "EDRs,"
"GDRs" and "GDSs," respectively), or other similar global instruments which are
receipts representing ownership of shares of a foreign-based issuer held in
trust by a bank or similar financial institution. The Asset Director Funds',
Growth Allocation's and Balanced Allocation's direct investments in these
instruments currently will not exceed 5% of each Fund's net assets, but the
underlying funds with respect to Growth Allocation may invest in ADRs, EDRs,
GDRs, GDSs or other similar global instruments. These are designed for U.S. and
European securities markets as alternatives to purchasing underlying securities
in their corresponding national markets and currencies. ADRs, EDRs, GDRs and
GDSs can be sponsored or unsponsored. Sponsored ADRs, EDRs, GDRs and GDSs are
certificates in which a bank or financial institution participates with a
custodian. Issuers of unsponsored ADRs, EDRs, GDRs and GDSs 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 ADRs, EDRs, GDRs or GDSs.
OPTIONS ON SECURITIES
Writing Covered Options. The Funds may write (sell) covered call and
put options on any securities in which they may invest. The Funds may purchase
and write such options on securities that are listed on domestic or foreign
securities exchanges or traded in the over-the-counter market. All call options
written by the Funds are covered, 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 the Funds write 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 ("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
6
<PAGE> 136
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 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) an exchange may impose restrictions on opening transactions or
closing transactions or both; (iii) trading halts, suspensions or other
restrictions may be
7
<PAGE> 137
imposed with respect to particular classes or series of options; (iv) unusual or
unforeseen circumstances may interrupt normal operations on an exchange; (v) the
facilities of an exchange or the Options Clearing Corporation (the "OCC") may
not at all times be adequate to handle current trading volume; or (vi) one or
more exchanges could, for economic or other reasons, decide or be compelled at
some future date to discontinue the trading of options (or a particular class or
series of options), although outstanding options on that exchange that had been
issued by the OCC as a result of trades on that exchange would continue to be
exercisable in accordance with their terms.
The Funds may purchase and sell both options that are traded on U.S.
and foreign exchanges and options traded over-the-counter with broker-dealers
who make markets in these options. The ability to terminate over-the-counter
options is more limited than with exchange-traded options and may involve the
risk that broker-dealers participating in such transactions will not fulfill
their obligations. Until such time as the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") changes its position, the Funds will treat purchased
over-the-counter options and all assets used to cover written over-the-counter
options as illiquid securities, except that with respect to options written with
primary dealers in 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 the staff of the SEC
approves. Each of the Funds will write or purchase an option only when 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 net assets.
The underlying funds may also write (sell) covered call and put options
and purchase put and call options. The nature of the conditions and risks
associated with such transactions by the underlying funds are similar to those
described for the Funds.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. The International Index
Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth
Allocation and Balanced Allocation may enter into forward foreign currency
exchange contracts in several circumstances. The International Index Fund, Asset
Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and
Balanced Allocation may engage in foreign currency exchange transactions to
protect against uncertainty in the level of future exchange rates. The
International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation 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
8
<PAGE> 138
hedging"). The underlying funds may also engage in transaction and position
hedging.
For transaction hedging purposes, the International Index Fund, Asset
Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation,
Balanced Allocation and underlying 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab
OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation
will attempt to protect against a possible loss resulting from an adverse change
in the relationship between (i) the U.S. dollar and the applicable foreign
currency during the period between the date on which the security is purchased
or sold and (ii) the transaction's settlement date. When engaging in position
hedging, the International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying
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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying
funds expect to purchase).
When engaging in position and/or transaction hedging, the International
Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International,
Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying funds may purchase or sell
foreign currencies on a spot (or cash) basis at the prevailing spot rate and
also may 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"). International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds,
Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced
Allocation and underlying funds also may 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth
Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab
OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and
underlying 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying
funds the right to assume a long position in the futures contract until the
expiration of the
9
<PAGE> 139
option. A call option on currency gives the International Index Fund, Asset
Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation,
Balanced Allocation and underlying 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying
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 that the Funds or the underlying funds own or expect to
purchase or sell. They simply establish a rate of exchange that may be achieved
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 are 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying
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 net assets.
The International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation generally
will not enter into a forward contract with a term of greater than one year.
While the International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab
OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation
will, and underlying funds may, enter into forward contracts to reduce currency
exchange rate risks, transactions in such contracts involve certain other risks.
Thus, while the International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying
funds may benefit from such transactions, unanticipated changes in currency
prices may result in a poorer overall performance for the International Index
Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth
Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying funds than if they had not
engaged in any such transactions. Moreover, there may be imperfect
10
<PAGE> 140
correlation between the International Index Fund's, Asset Director Funds',
Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International's, Growth Allocation's, Balanced
Allocation's and underlying funds' portfolio holdings of securities denominated
in a particular currency and forward contracts into which the International
Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International,
Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying funds enter. Such
imperfect correlation may cause the International Index Fund, Asset Director
Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced
Allocation and underlying funds to sustain losses, which will prevent the
International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying
funds from achieving a complete hedge or expose the International Index Fund,
Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth
Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying funds to risk of foreign exchange
loss.
Writing and Purchasing Currency Call and Put Options. The International
Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International,
Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying 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, Asset Director
Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced
Allocation and underlying funds obligates the International Index Fund, Asset
Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation,
Balanced Allocation and underlying 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, Asset Director
Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced
Allocation and underlying funds would obligate the International Index Fund,
Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth
Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth
Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation may
terminate their obligations under a call or
11
<PAGE> 141
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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International,
Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab
OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation.
The purchase of a call option would entitle the International Index
Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth
Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying funds to purchase specified
currency at a specified price during the option period in return for the premium
paid. The International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying
funds ordinarily would 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth
Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying funds to sell specific currency
at a specified price during the option period in exchange for the premium paid.
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, Asset Director
Funds', Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International's, Growth Allocation's,
Balanced Allocation's and underlying funds' portfolio securities due to currency
exchange rate fluctuations. The International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds,
Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced
Allocation and underlying funds ordinarily would realize a gain, if, during the
option period, the value of the underlying currency were to decrease below the
exercise price sufficiently to more than cover the premium and transaction
costs; otherwise the International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab
OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and
underlying 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation generally
will 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
12
<PAGE> 142
exchange will exist for any particular option or at any particular time. For
some options, no secondary market on an exchange may exist. In such event, it
might not be possible to effect closing transactions in particular options, with
the result that the International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab
OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and
underlying 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, Asset
Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation,
Balanced Allocation and underlying 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation 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
the CFTC licenses and regulates on foreign exchanges. The Funds and the
underlying funds are not permitted to engage in speculative futures trading.
Futures Contracts. A futures contract generally may 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 and the underlying funds may seek,
13
<PAGE> 143
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 and the underlying funds, through the purchase of futures contracts, may
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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International,
Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and the underlying funds may sell futures
contracts on a specified currency to protect against a decline in the value of
that currency and their portfolio securities that are denominated in that
currency. The International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and the
underlying funds may purchase futures contracts on a foreign currency to fix the
price in U.S. dollars of a security denominated in that currency that the
International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation, Balanced Allocation and underlying
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 and the underlying
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' and the underlying funds' futures
contracts on securities or currency will usually be liquidated in this manner,
the Funds and the underlying 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 and the underlying 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 and the
underlying funds obtain the benefit of the futures
14
<PAGE> 144
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' and the
underlying funds' assets. By writing a call option, the Funds and the underlying
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 and the underlying funds in writing options on futures is potentially
unlimited and may exceed the amount of the premium received. The Funds and the
underlying 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 these closing transactions can be effected. The
Funds' and the underlying funds' ability to establish and close out positions on
these options will be subject to the development and maintenance of a liquid
market.
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, Asset Director
Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced
Allocation may sell futures contracts on currency in which their 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. The Investment Manager
will attempt 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
15
<PAGE> 145
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 available on the
intended date of purchase in the applicable market to be less favorable than
prices that are currently available.
The underlying funds may engage in similar hedging transactions using
futures contracts, which would operate in a similar manner and entail similar
risks to the underlying funds.
When buying or selling futures contracts, a Fund and an underlying 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 and
underlying 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 and the underlying funds'
position in the contract becomes more or less valuable. This process is known as
"marking-to-market."
Regulations of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC")
applicable to the Funds and the underlying funds generally require that all of
their futures transactions constitute "bona fide" hedging transactions. As a
result, a Fund and an underlying 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 and the underlying
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 and each underlying 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
16
<PAGE> 146
transactions. To the extent the Funds and the underlying funds engage in the use
of futures and options on futures other than for hedging purposes, the Funds and
the underlying 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
or an underlying fund seeks to "close out" its position. If a Fund or an
underlying fund is unable to "close out" a futures or option position and prices
move adversely, the Fund or an underlying fund would have to continue to make
daily cash payments to maintain its required margin, and if the Fund or an
underlying fund has insufficient cash to meet this requirement, it may have to
sell portfolio securities at a disadvantageous time. In addition, the Fund or an
underlying fund might be required to deliver the securities underlying futures
or options contracts it holds. Each Fund will seek to and the underlying funds
may seek to reduce the risk that it will be unable to "close out" contracts by
entering into only 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 or an
underlying 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 or an underlying
fund to lose up to its full investment in an options contract and/or to
experience substantial losses on an investment in a futures contract. However,
barring such significant market distortions, a similar result could be expected
were the Fund or an underlying fund to invest directly in the securities being
hedged. There is also the risk of loss by a Fund or an underlying fund of margin
deposits in the event of bankruptcy of a broker with whom the Fund or an
underlying 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
each Fund's intention to meet Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company. See
"Taxes." An underlying fund's investment in such instruments may similarly be
restricted by Code requirements.
17
<PAGE> 147
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 of
Additional Information.
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 up to 5% of each Fund's net assets in swaps.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Funds may invest in preferred stock, although Balanced Allocation's
and Growth Allocation's direct investments in preferred stock will not exceed 5%
of each Fund's net assets. Preferred stock has priority over common stock as to
income and generally as to assets of an 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
invest up to 5% of each Fund's net assets in preferred stock.
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
18
<PAGE> 148
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.
Warrants. The Funds or underlying funds may invest in warrants, which
are options to purchase equity securities at specific prices valid for a
specific period of time. The prices do not necessarily move parallel to the
prices of the underlying securities. Warrants have no voting rights, receive no
dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer. If a
warrant is not exercised within the specified time period, it will become
worthless and a Fund or an underlying fund will lose the purchase price and the
right to purchase the underlying security.
REAL ESTATE-RELATED INVESTMENTS
The Asset Director Funds, and the OneSource Portfolios - Growth
Allocation and Balanced Allocation may invest no more than 5% of each Fund's
respective net 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
The Asset Director Funds, OneSource Portfolios - Growth Allocation and
Balanced Allocation may invest no more than 5% of each Fund's respective net
assets in precious metal-related investments. The Asset Director Funds, S&P 500
Fund, Analytics Fund, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation may
19
<PAGE> 149
invest in common stocks of domestic companies principally engaged 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, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation
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, S&P 500 Fund, Analytics Fund, Growth
Allocation and Balanced Allocation also may invest in futures on precious
metals, such as gold futures, and options thereon. Such investments are subject
to the investment limitations on investments in futures and options for the
Asset Director Funds, S&P 500 Fund, Analytics Fund, Growth Allocation and
Balanced Allocation 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 have been subject to extreme
fluctuations, reflecting wider economic or political instability or 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 were 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
Government "mortgage-backed" (or government guaranteed
mortgage-related) securities are among the U.S. Government securities in which
the Funds may invest. Mortgages backing the securities purchased by the Funds
include, among others, conventional 30-
20
<PAGE> 150
year fixed rate mortgages, graduated payment mortgages, 15-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 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 than 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 guaranteed by the government 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
21
<PAGE> 151
principal investment long before the maturity of the mortgages in the pool.
Foreclosures impose no risk to principal investment because of the GNMA
guarantee, except to the extent that a Fund has purchased the certificates above
par in the secondary market.
FHLMC Securities. The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC")
was created in 1970 to promote development of a nationwide secondary market in
conventional residential mortgages. The FHLMC issues two types of mortgage
pass-through securities ("FHLMC Certificates"): mortgage participation
certificates ("PCs") and guaranteed mortgage certificates ("GMCs"). PCs resemble
GNMA Certificates in that each PC represents a pro rata share of all interest
and principal payments made and owed on the underlying pool. The FHLMC
guarantees timely monthly payment of interest on PCs and the ultimate payment of
principal.
GMCs also represent a pro rata interest in a pool of mortgages.
However, 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 10 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 the FHA insures.
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 four
highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization (e.g., S&P or Moody's) or, if not so rated, deemed to be of
equivalent quality by the Investment Manager pursuant to guidelines adopted by
the Board of Trustees. Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation do not
currently intend to invest directly in Asset-Backed Securities, but they may
invest in them indirectly through underlying funds. 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
22
<PAGE> 152
economic and other factors. As a result, the yield on any Asset-Backed Security
is difficult to predict with precision, and actual yield to maturity may be more
or less than the anticipated yield to maturity. Asset-Backed Securities may be
classified as "Pass-Through Certificates" or "Collateralized Obligations."
"Pass-Through Certificates" are asset-backed securities that represent
undivided fractional ownership interests in the underlying pool of assets.
Pass-Through Certificates usually provide for payments of principal and interest
received to be passed through to their holders, usually after deduction for
certain costs and expenses incurred in administering the pool. Because
Pass-Through Certificates represent ownership interests in the underlying
assets, the holders thereof bear directly the risk of any defaults by the
obligors on the underlying assets not covered by any credit support.
Asset-Backed Securities issued in the form of debt instruments, also
known as Collateralized Obligations, are generally issued as the debt of a
special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets
and issuing such debt. The assets collateralizing such 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.
CORPORATE BONDS
Each of the Asset Director Funds may invest in corporate bonds rated in
one of the four highest categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization. Corporate Bonds are issued in the form of debt instruments by a
private corporation and are different in character from bonds issued by a
government agency or municipality. Typical distinguishing features include the
following: (1) they are taxable; (2) they have a par value of $1000; (3) they
have a term maturity (which means they come due all at once) and are paid for
out of a sinking fund accumulated for that purpose and they may be callable; and
(4) they are often traded on major exchanges, with prices published in the
newspapers.
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 typically accomplished by creating one or more classes with a
right to payments on the Asset-Backed Security
23
<PAGE> 153
that is subordinate to that of the remaining class or classes. Second, multiple
classes may permit the issuance of securities with payment terms, interest rates
or other characteristics that differ 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 that
entitle 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 that adjust as a specified benchmark changes) or scheduled amortization of
principal.
TYPES OF CREDIT SUPPORT
Asset-Backed Securities are often backed by a pool of assets
representing the obligations of a number of different parties. To lessen the
effect of failures by obligors on these underlying assets to make payments, such
securities may contain elements of credit support. Such credit support falls
into two classes: liquidity protection and protection against ultimate default
on the underlying assets. Liquidity protection refers to the provision of
advances, generally by the entity administering the pool of assets, to ensure
that scheduled payments on the underlying pool are made timely. 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 that arises 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, so that defaults on the underlying
assets are borne first by the holders of the subordinated class) and
Asset-Backed Securities that have "reserve funds" (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" (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 generally based 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.
24
<PAGE> 154
CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLE SECURITIES
The Asset Director Funds may invest directly, and the Growth Allocation
and Balanced Allocation may invest indirectly through underlying funds, 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 may usually be shortened upon the occurrence of specified events
that signal a potential deterioration in the quality of the assets backing the
security, such as the imposition of a cap on interest rates. The ability of the
issuer to extend the life of an issue of Credit Card Receivable Securities thus
depends upon the continued generation of additional principal amounts in the
underlying accounts during the initial period and the non-occurrence of
specified events. Competitive and general economic factors could adversely
affect the rate at which new receivables are created in an account and conveyed
to an issuer, shortening the expected weighted average life of the related
Credit Card Receivable Security, and reducing its yield. An acceleration in
cardholders' payment rates or any other event that shortens the period during
which additional credit card charges on an account may be transferred to the
pool of assets supporting the related Credit Card Receivable Security could have
a similar effect on the weighted average life and yield.
Credit card holders are entitled to the protection of a number of state
and federal consumer credit laws, many of which give such holders the right to
set off certain amounts against balances owed on the credit card, thereby
reducing amounts paid on accounts. In addition, unlike most other Asset-Backed
Securities, 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
invest only in certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances of banks that
have capital, surplus and undivided profits in excess of $100 million.
25
<PAGE> 155
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 invest only 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, Asset
Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and
Balanced Allocation outside the United States and that are publicly traded in
the United States, 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 dispose of the securities readily in the foreign trading market or for cash
in the United States, or (iii) foreign market and current market quotations are
available readily. 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 United States will have to be made in
compliance with any applicable U.S. and foreign currency restrictions and tax
laws (including laws imposing withholding taxes on any dividend or interest
income) and laws limiting the amount and types of foreign investments. Changes
of government administrations or economic or monetary policies in the United
States 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 many
U.S. securities. Notwithstanding that the Funds generally intend to acquire the
securities of foreign issuers where there are public trading markets, the Funds'
investments 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 United States 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
26
<PAGE> 156
difficulties in obtaining or enforcing judgments against foreign issuers.
Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Funds or underlying funds may loan
securities to qualified broker-dealers or other institutional investors
provided: (i) the loan is secured continuously by collateral consisting of U.S.
Government securities or cash or cash equivalents maintained on a daily
marked-to-market basis in an amount at least equal to the current market value
of the securities loaned; (ii) the Fund or underlying fund may at any time call
the loan and obtain the return of the securities loaned; (iii) the Fund or
underlying fund will receive any interest or dividends paid on the loaned
securities; and (iv) the aggregate market value of securities loaned will not at
any time exceed one-third of the total assets of the Fund or underlying fund.
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. Loans of securities involve a risk that the borrower may
fail to return the securities or provide additional collateral.
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 a Fund's loan of money 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 a Fund enters into 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 or its agencies or instrumentalities). The period of these repurchase
agreements will be usually 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 the Funds invest 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
27
<PAGE> 157
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, except the Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation, reserves
the right to invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Each of
the Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced
Allocation reserves the right to invest up to 15% 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 when 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 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 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 until the
Fund receives them. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery
basis are recorded as
28
<PAGE> 158
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.
INVESTMENT IN UNDERLYING SCHWAB FUNDS
The Asset Director Funds may invest, as described more fully in their
Prospectus, in the following underlying SchwabFunds of the Trust: the
International Index Fund, the Small-Cap Index Fund and the S&P 500 Fund. The
investment objectives and investment policies, limitations, and techniques of
these underlying SchwabFunds(R) and the risks associated with those investment
policies, limitations, and techniques are described in the Asset Director Funds'
Prospectus, or in this SAI. The investment objectives, policies, limitations and
techniques of other underlying SchwabFunds are described more fully in their
prospectuses and this SAI, which are available by contacting Schwab at 800-2
NO-LOAD, 24 hours a day, or 101 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, California
94104 (TDD users may contact Schwab at 800-345-2550), or electronically by using
Schwab's World Wide Web address http://www.schwab.com.
In addition to utilizing the investment securities, techniques and
policies and exposing themselves to similar limitations and risks as described
in this SAI, the other underlying SchwabFunds(R) may also invest in restricted
securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, municipal securities and index
options.
Although each Fund has the ability to invest all of the assets
allocated to a particular asset class in one or more SchwabFunds, none of the
Funds has a present intention to invest more than 5% of its total assets in any
single SchwabFund that is not described below. However, if the Investment
Manager determines in the future that it is in a Fund's best interest, the
Investment Manager reserves the right to invest more than 5% of a Fund's total
assets in a SchwabFund not described below, including SchwabFunds that do not
currently exist. Each Fund may invest all of the assets allocated to the stock
class (e.g., as much as 95% for the High Growth Fund) or to a stock sub-category
in one or more of the S&P 500 Fund, the International Index Fund and the
Small-Cap Index Fund.
The Schwab S&P 500 Fund seeks to track the price and dividend
performance (total return) of common stocks of U. S. companies, as represented
by the S&P 500 Index(R), by investing in substantially all of the 500 common
stocks composing the S&P 500 Index. Investments in this SchwabFund expose a Fund
to stock risk. The Schwab S&P 500 Fund may also invest in short-term debt
securities with attendant risks described above regarding investment in debt
securities.
29
<PAGE> 159
The International Index Fund(R) attempts to track the price and
dividend performance (total return) of the Schwab International Index, an index
created by Schwab to represent the performance of common stocks and other equity
securities including preferred stocks, rights and warrants issued by large,
publicly traded companies from countries around the world with major developed
securities markets, excluding the U.S. To the extent a Fund invests in this
SchwabFund, which normally invests 80% of its assets in stocks which comprise
the Schwab International Index, the Fund will be exposed to international stock
risk, which is described above. The International Index Fund may also engage in
foreign currency hedging, which involves certain costs that may result in losses
to that SchwabFund, and although tending to minimize risk of certain losses also
tends to limit certain potential gains.
The Small-Cap Index Fund attempts to track the price and
dividend performance (total return) of the Schwab Small-Cap Index(R), an index
created by Schwab to represent the performance of common stocks of the second
1,000 largest U.S. corporations (excluding investment companies). To the extent
a Fund invests in the Small-Cap Index Fund, which normally invests 80% of its
assets in stocks which comprise the Schwab Small-Cap Index, the Fund will be
exposed to risks of small company stocks.
Each of the Schwab Index Funds engages in index or passive investing,
and also seeks to minimize capital gain distributions by offsetting capital
gains and capital losses and lowering portfolio turnover. These investment
policies are intended to minimize the adverse federal income tax consequences of
portfolio trading, but may increase the differences between the Schwab Index
Funds' performance and the relevant index's performance. Each Schwab Index Fund
may also purchase other investment securities or engage in securities techniques
(normally up to 20% of its total assets) that are similar to the Asset Director
Funds' and will entail similar risks.
UNDERLYING FUND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES
The underlying funds for Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International,
Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation may also engage in foreign currency
transactions with respect to foreign securities investments; invest in
restricted securities; sell securities short; borrow money for investment
purposes (i.e., leverage their portfolio); write (sell) or purchase call or put
options on securities or on stock indices; concentrate their assets in one
industry; invest in master demand notes; invest in domestic equity securities;
and enter into futures contracts and options on futures contracts. The
underlying funds for the Asset Director Funds may also engage in foreign
currency transactions with respect to foreign securities investments, borrow
money and invest in futures and options. The risks associated with these
investments are discussed below.
30
<PAGE> 160
To the extent that the underlying funds also invest or engage in swaps,
preferred stock, convertible securities, real estate-related investments,
precious metal related investments, U.S. Government securities, government
"mortgage-backed" securities, asset-backed securities, certificates of deposit
and bankers' acceptances, commercial paper, repurchase transactions, and
when-issued and delayed delivery securities, the underlying funds would be
subject to risks associated with such investments similar to those risks
discussed above regarding such investments by the Funds.
Short Sales. An underlying fund may sell securities short. In a short
sale, the underlying fund sells stock which it does not own, making delivery
with securities "borrowed" from a broker. The underlying fund is then obligated
to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it at the market price at the
time of replacement. This price may or may not be less than the price at which
the security was sold by the underlying fund. Until the security is replaced,
the underlying fund is required to pay the lender any dividends or interest that
accrue during the period of the loan. In order to borrow the security, the
underlying fund may also have to pay a premium which would increase the cost of
the security sold. The broker will retain the proceeds of the short sale to the
extent necessary to meet margin requirements until the short position is closed
out.
The underlying fund must also deposit in a segregated account an amount
of cash or U.S. Government securities equal to the difference between (a) the
market value of the securities sold short at the time they were sold short and
(b) the value of the collateral deposited with the broker in connection with the
short sale (not including the proceeds from the short sale). While the short
position is open, the underlying fund must maintain daily the segregated account
at such a level that (i) the amount deposited in it plus the amount deposited
with the broker as collateral equals the current market value of the securities
sold short and (ii) the amount deposited in it plus the amount deposited with
the broker as collateral is not less than the market value of the securities at
the time they were sold short. Depending upon market conditions, up to 80% of
the value of an underlying fund's net assets may be deposited as collateral for
the obligation to replace securities borrowed to effect short sales and
allocated to a segregated account in connection with short sales. The underlying
fund will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the
security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the
underlying fund replaces the borrowed security. The underlying fund will realize
a gain if the security declines in price between those dates. The amount of any
gain will be decreased and the amount of any loss increased by the amount of any
premium dividends or interest the underlying fund may be required to pay in
connection with a short sale.
31
<PAGE> 161
A short sale is "against the box" if at all times when the short
position is open the underlying fund owns an equal or greater amount of the
securities or securities convertible into, or exchangeable without further
consideration for, securities of the same issue as the securities sold short.
Such a transaction defers a gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes. The
procedures described above regarding deposits in a segregated account are not
required to be followed for short sales "against the box."
Leverage Through Borrowing. An underlying fund may borrow up to 25% of
the value of its net assets on an unsecured basis from banks to increase its
holdings of portfolio securities. Under the 1940 Act, the underlying fund is
required to maintain continuous asset coverage of 300% with respect to such
borrowings and to sell (within three days) sufficient portfolio holdings to
restore such coverage if it should decline to less than 300% due to market
fluctuations or otherwise, even if it is disadvantageous to do so from an
investment standpoint. Leveraging will exaggerate the effect of any increase or
decrease in the value of portfolio securities on the underlying fund's net asset
value. Money borrowed will also be subject to interest costs (which may include
commitment fees and/or the cost of maintaining minimum average balances), which
may or may not exceed the interest and option premiums received from the
securities purchased with borrowed underlying funds.
Derivatives. An underlying fund may invest in the following instruments
that are known commonly as derivatives. Generally, a derivative is a financial
arrangement, the value of which is based on or "received" from a traditional
security, asset or market index.
Hedging. An underlying fund may employ many of the investment
techniques described herein not only for investment purposes which may be
considered speculative, but also for hedging purposes. For example, an
underlying fund may purchase or sell put and call options on common stocks to
hedge against movement in individual common stock prices, or purchase and sell
stock index futures and related options to hedge against marketwide movements in
common stock prices. Although such hedging techniques generally tend to minimize
the risk of loss that is hedged against, they may also limit commensurably the
potential gain that might have resulted had the hedging transaction not
occurred. Also, the desired protection generally resulting from hedging
transactions may not always be achieved.
Master Demand Notes. Although the Funds will not do so, underlying
funds (particularly money market mutual funds) may invest up to 100% of their
assets in master demand notes. Master demand notes are unsecured obligations of
U.S. corporations redeemable upon notice that permit investment by an underlying
fund of fluctuating amounts at varying rates of interest pursuant to direct
arrangements between the fund
32
<PAGE> 162
and the issuing corporation. Because they are direct arrangements between the
underlying fund and the issuing corporation, there is no secondary market for
the notes. However, they are redeemable at face value, plus accrued interest, at
any time.
Domestic Equity Securities. The underlying funds, particularly global underlying
funds, also may be able to purchase equity securities of U.S. companies. Equity
securities are ownership interests in the net worth of a corporation and include
common stocks, convertible securities and warrants. Common stock prices can be
volatile in the short term. Market conditions or other company, political and
economic news can often cause large changes in a stock's price. Such investments
entail market risk, i.e., the risk of being invested in stocks when the market
goes down, resulting in stock prices declining over short or even long periods.
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). With respect to the
Analytics Fund and the Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, investment
restriction numbers 3, 4, 6 and 7 are non-fundamental and may be changed by the
Trust's Board of Trustees. Each of the Funds, with the exception of Growth
Allocation and Balanced Allocation, 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 or investments in other registered investment companies) 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 Small-Cap Index Fund may
purchase securities under such circumstances only to the extent that the
International Index or Small-Cap Index, respectively, is also so concentrated
and that the S&P 500 Fund and Analytics Fund may purchase securities under such
circumstances only to the extent that the S&P 500 is also so concentrated, and
except that the Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International will invest 25% or
more of its total assets in other investment companies).
3) Invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities,
including repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days (except
that the Schwab
33
<PAGE> 163
OneSource Portfolios-International may not invest more than 15% of its net
assets in illiquid securities).
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, commodity contracts 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, S&P 500 Fund, and Analytics 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 agreements) that are distributed publicly 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
34
<PAGE> 164
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, with the exception of Growth
Allocation and Balanced Allocation, 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 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.
3) 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 net assets.
4) Make short sales, except for short sales against the box.
5) 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.
6) Purchase securities on margin, except such short-term credits as may
be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities.
Investments in Other Mutual Funds. The Schwab OneSource(R)
Portfolios-International intends to purchase shares of underlying funds in
compliance with the requirements of Section 12(d)(1)(F) of the 1940 Act. Under
that provision, the Fund is prohibited from purchasing the securities of an
underlying fund if, as a result, the Fund together with its affiliates would own
more than 3% of the total outstanding securities of that underlying fund. In
addition, the Fund is required to seek voting instructions from its shareholders
regarding underlying fund proxies, and to vote such proxies in accordance with
the instructions received or to vote such proxies in the same proportion as the
vote of all other holders of the underlying fund securities.
35
<PAGE> 165
GROWTH ALLOCATION AND BALANCED ALLOCATION FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS.
The restrictions numbered 1, 2 and 3 immediately 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). For more detailed
information, see "1940 Act Restrictions" and "Other Investment Policies"
discussed below. The Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation:
1) May purchase securities of any issuer only when consistent with the
maintenance of its status as a diversified company under the 1940 Act.
2) May not concentrate investments in a particular industry or group of
industries as concentration is defined under the 1940 Act, or the rules or
regulations thereunder; except that the Growth Allocation and Balanced
Allocation may be considered to be concentrated in investments in other
investment companies.
3) May (i) purchase or sell commodities, commodities contracts, or real
estate, (ii) lend or borrow money, (iii) issue senior securities, (iv)
underwrite securities, or (v) pledge, mortgage or hypothecate any of its assets,
only if permitted by the 1940 Act or the rules or regulations thereunder.
The Growth Allocation's and Balanced Allocation's fundamental
investment policies have been adopted to avoid wherever possible the necessity
of shareholder meetings otherwise required under the 1940 Act. This recognizes
the need to react quickly to changes in the law or new investment opportunities
in the securities markets and the cost and time involved in obtaining
shareholder approvals for diversely held investment companies. However, the
Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation have also adopted non-fundamental
investment policies, set forth below, which are more restrictive than their
fundamental investment policies. The Growth Allocation's and Balanced
Allocation's non-fundamental investment policies may be changed by a vote of the
Board of Trustees. Any changes in either the Growth Allocation's or Balanced
Allocation's non-fundamental investment policies will be communicated to the
Fund's shareholders prior to the effectiveness of the changes.
1940 ACT RESTRICTIONS. Under the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations
and interpretations thereunder, a "diversified company," as to 75% of its total
assets, may not purchase securities of any issuer (other than obligations of, or
guaranteed by, the U.S. Government or 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 or more than 10% of the issuer's voting securities
would be held by the fund. "Concentration" is generally interpreted under the
1940 Act as investing 25% or more of total assets in an industry or
36
<PAGE> 166
group of industries. The 1940 Act limits the ability of investment companies to
borrow and lend money and to underwrite securities. The 1940 Act currently
prohibits an open-end fund from issuing senior securities, as defined in the
1940 Act, except under very limited circumstances.
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES FOR GROWTH ALLOCATION AND BALANCED
ALLOCATION. The following investment policies and restrictions are
non-fundamental and may be changed by the Trust's Board of Trustees. The Growth
Allocation and Balanced Allocation may not:
1) Invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities,
including repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of 7 days.
2) 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.
3) Invest for the purpose of exercising control or management of
another issuer.
4) Purchase securities of other investment companies, except as
permitted by the 1940 Act, including any exemptive relief granted by the SEC.
5) 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.
6) 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.
7) 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 net assets.
8) Make short sales, except for short sales against the box.
37
<PAGE> 167
9) 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.
10) Purchase securities on margin, except such short-term credits as
may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
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."

Trustees who are not parties to the Agreement or interested persons (as defined

<PAGE> 175
SUB-ADVISER
With respect to the Analytics Fund, the Investment Manager has entered
into an investment sub-advisory agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") with
Symphony Asset Management, Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser" or "Symphony") pursuant to
which Symphony Asset Management, Inc. will act as the Fund's sub-adviser. The
Sub-Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940 and currently manages directly and indirectly approximately $700
million in institutional and private account assets.
The Sub-Adviser makes investment decisions for the Analytics Fund's
non-cash investments and uses quantitative techniques and proprietary real-time
databases and software models to continually identify and rank stocks that
exhibit a favorable combination of attributes that have historically been
associated with aggregate total returns greater than that of the S&P 500. 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 the Sub-Adviser's services relating to the Analytics Fund, the
Investment Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual investment sub-advisory fee,
payable monthly, of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets not in excess
of $300 million, 0.15% of the next $500 million and 0.10% of such assets over
$800 million.
As of February 28, 1997, Symphony no longer served as sub-adviser to
the Asset Director Funds. Instead, the Investment Manager became responsible for
providing all investment advisory services to the Asset Director Funds.
As of May 1, 1995 and June 30, 1995, Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc.
("Dimensional") no longer served as the sub-adviser to the Small-Cap Index Fund
and 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.

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.
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
48
<PAGE> 178
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 Schwab provides 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 members of the exchange
not associated with Schwab perform the floor brokerage element of portfolio
transactions (that is, execution on the exchange floor or through use of
exchange facilities) that the orders to such members be transmitted from off the
exchange floor and that neither Schwab nor an associated person of Schwab
participates in the execution of the transaction after the order has been so
transmitted. In connection with transactions in which Schwab acts as broker for
the Funds, Schwab, while not permitted to perform floor brokerage (which is
undertaken by members Schwab selects 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, 1996,
1995 and 1994, the International Index Fund paid brokerage commissions of
$101,230, $54,718 and $86,127, respectively. For the fiscal years ended October
31, 1996 and 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 $181,679, $142,785 and $165,997, respectively. For the fiscal
period November 20, 1995 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1996, the
High Growth Fund, the Balanced Growth Fund and the Conservative Growth Fund paid
brokerage commissions of $92,248, $48,733, $10,741 respectively. For the fiscal
period May 1, 1996 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1996, the S&P 500
Fund paid brokerage commissions of $119,350. For the fiscal period July 1, 1996
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1996, the Analytics Fund paid
brokerage commissions of $90,932. For the fiscal period October 16, 1996
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1996, the OneSource Portfolios
International paid brokerage commissions of $0.
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
the Fund owned during the fiscal year. When making the calculation, all
securities whose maturities at the time of acquisition were one year or less
("short-term securities") are excluded.
A 100% portfolio turnover rate would occur, for example, if all
portfolio securities (aside from short-term securities) were sold and either
repurchased or replaced once during the fiscal year. The Funds expect that their
portfolio turnover rate will not exceed 100% in any given year, a turnover rate
lower than that of most non-index mutual funds. In the case of the Asset
Director
49
<PAGE> 179
Funds, the portfolio turnover rate applies to the Funds' stock and bond
categories.
The International Index Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal
years ended October 31, 1996 and 1995 was 6% and 0%, respectively. The Small-Cap
Index Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal years ended October 31, 1996
and 1995 was 23% and 24% respectively.
The High Growth Fund, Balanced Growth Fund (equity portion) and
Conservative Growth Fund's (equity portion) portfolio turnover rates for the
period from November 20, 1995 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1996
were 46%, 44%, and 64%, respectively. The portfolio turnover rate for the bond
portion of both the Balanced Growth Fund and the Conservative Growth Fund for
this same period was 0%.
The S&P 500 Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the period May 1, 1996
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1996 was 1.0%.
The Analytics Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the period from July
1, 1996 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1996 was 33%.
The Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International portfolio turnover rate
for the period from October 16, 1996 (commencement of operations) to October 31,
1996 was 0.0%.
From time to time, each Fund may compare its portfolio turnover rate
with that of other mutual funds as reported by independent sources.
TAXES
It is each Fund's policy 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
50
<PAGE> 180
the Code, and that are engaged in the same, similar or related trades or
businesses.
These requirements may restrict the degree to which a Fund may engage
in short-term trading and certain hedging transactions and may limit the range
of a Fund's investments. If a Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company,
it will not be subject to federal income tax on the part of its net investment
income and net realized capital gains, if any, which it distributes to
shareholders, provided that the Fund meets certain minimum distribution
requirements. To comply with these requirements, a Fund must distribute at least
(a) 90% of its "investment company taxable income" (as that term is defined in
the Code) and (b) 90% of the excess of its (i) tax-exempt interest income over
(ii) certain deductions attributable to that income (with certain exceptions),
for its taxable year. Each Fund intends to make sufficient distributions to
shareholders to meet these requirements.
The Code imposes a non-deductible excise tax on regulated investment
companies that do not distribute in a calendar year (regardless of whether they
otherwise have a non-calendar taxable year) an amount equal to 98% of their
"ordinary income" (as defined in the Code) for the calendar year plus 98% of
their capital gain net income for the one year period ending on October 31 of
such calendar year. The balance of such income must be distributed during the
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.
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 the Funds pay 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, will generally be
taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Distributions received from the
Funds designated as long-term capital gains (net of capital losses), whether
received in cash or reinvested, will 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. For corporate investors in
the Funds, dividend distributions the Funds designate 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. 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
U.S. Treasury 31% of taxable dividends paid to any shareholder who (1) fails to
provide a correct taxpayer identification number
51
<PAGE> 181
certified under penalty of perjury; (2) is subject to withholding by the
Internal Revenue Service for failure to properly report all payments of interest
or dividends; or (3) fails to provide a 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) are generally 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 are generally 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 also may be
subject to state, local and foreign taxes, and its treatment under applicable
tax laws may differ from the federal income tax treatment.
Income which the International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab
OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation
receive from sources within various foreign countries may be subject to foreign
income taxes withheld at the source. If a Fund has at least 50% of its assets
invested in foreign securities at the end of its taxable year, it may elect to
pass through to its shareholders the ability to take either the foreign tax
credit or the deduction for foreign titles. It is expected that the
International Index Fund will have more than 50% of the value of its total
assets at the close of its taxable year invested in foreign securities, and it
will make this election. Pursuant to this election, U.S. shareholders must
include in gross income, even though not actually received, their respective pro
rata share of foreign taxes, and may either deduct their pro rata share of
foreign taxes (but not for alternative minimum tax purposes) or credit the tax
against U.S. income taxes, subject to certain limitations described in Code
section 904 (but not both). A shareholder who does not itemize deductions may
not claim a deduction for foreign taxes. It is expected that the Asset Director
Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced
Allocation will not have 50% of their assets invested in foreign securities at
the close of their taxable years, and therefore will not be permitted to make
this election and "pass through" to their shareholders. Also, to the extent the
Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth
Allocation and Balanced Allocation invest in an underlying fund that elects to
"pass through" foreign taxes, these Funds will not be able to "pass through" the
taxes paid by the underlying fund. Each shareholder's respective pro rata share
of foreign taxes these Funds pay will, therefore, be netted against their share
of the Fund's gross income.
Although the International Index Fund, Asset Director Funds, Schwab
OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation
will attempt not to invest in
52
<PAGE> 182
any non-U.S. corporation which could be treated as a passive foreign investment
company ("PFIC") or become a PFIC under the Code, it may do so inadvertently.
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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation 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, Asset Director Funds, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation 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, Asset Director Funds',
Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International's, Growth Allocation's and Balanced
Allocation's shareholders. Therefore, the payment of this tax would reduce the
International Index Fund's, Asset Director Funds', Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International's, Growth Allocation's and Balanced Allocation's
economic return from their PFIC shares, and excess distributions received with
respect to such shares are treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains.
An underlying fund may inadvertently invest in non-U.S. corporations
which would be treated as PFICs or become a PFIC. 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 an
underlying fund does invest in PFICs, it may elect to treat the PFIC as a
"qualified electing fund" or mark-to-market its investments in PFICs annually.
In either case, the underlying fund may be required to distribute amounts in
excess of its realized income and gains. To the extent that the underlying fund
itself is required to pay a tax on income or gain from investment in PFICs, the
payment of this tax would reduce the Asset Director Funds', Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International's, Growth Allocation's, or Balanced Allocation's
economic return.
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.
The 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
53
<PAGE> 183
(particularly those not residing or domiciled in the United States) should
consult their own tax advisers regarding the consequences of investing in a
Fund.
SHARE PRICE CALCULATION
Each Fund's net asset value per share is determined each Business Day
at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 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 mean 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 fair
value. Securities traded on stock exchanges are valued at the last quoted sales
price on the exchange on which such securities are primarily traded, or, lacking
any sales, at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Securities traded in the
over-the-counter market are valued at the last sales price that day, or if no
sales that day, at the mean between the bid and ask prices. In addition,
securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are generally valued
at the preceding closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges
with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange
rate. Foreign securities for which the closing values are not readily available
are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Board of
Trustees guidelines.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available
(including restricted securities that are subject to limitations on their sale
and illiquid securities) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith
pursuant to the Trust's 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. In
accordance with the 1940 Act, the underlying funds are valued at their
respective net asset values as determined by those funds. The underlying funds
that are money market funds value their portfolio securities based on the
amortized cost method. The other underlying funds value their portfolio
securities based on market quotes if they are readily available. The Investment
Manager assigns fair values to the Funds' other investments in good faith under
Board of Trustees guidelines. The Board of Trustees regularly reviews these
values.

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 a 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, a Fund
assumes the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value on applicable
reinvestment dates. For the one year period ended October 31, 1996, the
International Index Fund's total return was 11.07%. For the fiscal period from
September 9, 1993 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1996, the
International Index Fund's average annual total return was 7.54%. For the one
year period ended October 31, 1996, the Small-Cap Index Fund's total return was
16.73% and for the fiscal period from December 3, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 1996, the Small-Cap Index Fund's average annual total
return was 11.56%.
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 also may 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.
A Fund may also advertise its cumulative total return since inception.
This number is calculated using the same formula that is used for average annual
total return except that, rather than calculating the total return based on a
one-year period, cumulative total return is calculated from inception to the
date specified.
For the fiscal period from September 9, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 1996, the International Index Fund's cumulative total
return was 25.71%.
For the fiscal period from December 3, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 1996, the Small-Cap Index Fund's cumulative total
return was 37.57%.
The cumulative total return for the High Growth Fund, Balanced Growth
Fund, and Conservative Growth Fund for the period November 20, 1995
(commencement of operations) to October
55
<PAGE> 185
31, 1996 was 13.24%, 10.82% and 8.18%, respectively.
The cumulative total return for the S&P 500 Fund-Investor Shares and
e.Shares(TM) for the period May 1, 1996 (commencement of operations) to October
31, 1996 was 8.80% and 8.90%, respectively.
The cumulative total return for the Analytics Fund for the period July
1, 1996 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1996 was 10.10%.
The cumulative total return for the Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International for the period October 16, 1996 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 1996 was -0.90%.
YIELD
A Fund's yield refers to the net investment income generated by a
hypothetical investment in the Fund over a specific 30 day period. This net
investment income is then annualized, which means that the net investment income
generated during the 30-day period is assumed to be generated in each 30-day
period over an annual period, and is shown as a percentage of the investment.
EFFECTIVE YIELD
A Fund's effective yield is calculated similarly, but the net
investment income earned by the investment is assumed to be compounded monthly
when annualized. The effective yield will be slightly higher than the yield due
to this compounding effect.
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, U.S. Government obligations, bank
certificates of deposit, the consumer price index and other investments for
which reliable data is available. For example, the International Index Fund and
the Small Cap Index Fund may be compared to the Schwab 1000 Index(R), the Schwab
International Index(R), the Schwab Small-Cap Index, and the Standard & Poor's
500 Index, and the Small Cap Index Fund may also be compared to Standard &
Poor's Small-Cap 600 Index.
The Asset Director Funds, OneSource Portfolios-Growth Allocation and
Balanced Allocation also may compare their historical performance figures to the
performance of indices similar to their asset categories and sub-categories, and
to the performance of "blended indices" similar to the Funds' portfolio
strategies, such as those indices named in the Funds' Prospectus under "Market
Performance."
The Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International may compare its
historical performance to the performance of indices such as Morgan Stanley
Capital International's EAFE index, its World ex-U.S. index and other indices or
combination of indices.
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

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 historically has reduced the portfolio's overall volatility. Although
U.S. and international markets may be interrelated, they do not move in tandem
- -- so losses in one market can be offset by gains in another.
POTENTIALLY HIGHER
OVERALL PERFORMANCE
During the 20 years ending December 31, 1996, 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
international markets produced also have 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. According to Morgan Stanley, as of December 31,
1979, the United States made up more than half of the world's stock market, a
value of over $11 trillion. As of December 31, 1996, it represented forty-five
percent.
INDEXING AND ASSET ALLOCATION - THE SCHWAB INDEX FUNDS AND THE SCHWAB ASSET
ALLOCATION FUNDS
Because the unmanaged performance of a broad-based equity index often
has 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 most often is used to gauge that
market's performance. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA") and S&P 500
57
<PAGE> 187
are two indices designed to measure the performance of U.S. 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.
An index's performance data assumes the reinvestment of dividends but
does not reflect deductions for administrative and management expenses. The
Funds will be subject to these costs and expenses, while an 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 an index.
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.
The difference between a fund's total return and the total return of
its benchmark index is referred to as a fund's tracking error. The Schwab Index
Funds may report or advertise tracking error.
INTERNATIONAL INDEX
The International Index is a broad-based stock market index which
contains the common stocks of the 350 largest operating companies (i.e.,
non-investment companies) incorporated outside the United States. To reduce
undue risk, the Index represents equities only from countries that are
considered to have developed markets and economies. By tracking the largest
companies in developed markets, the Index represents the performance of the
"blue chips" of international markets. The Index also is 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 International Index was first made available to the public on
July 29, 1993.
SMALL-CAP INDEX
To be included in the 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 1,000 such companies as measured by
market capitalization (i.e., from the company with a rank of 1,001 through the
company with a rank of 2,000). 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 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
Small-Cap Index. The returns produced by the U.S. 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
58
<PAGE> 188
often has 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, significantly have exceeded
the returns of U.S. Treasury Bills, CDs, corporate bonds and inflation.
THE S&P 500 INDEX(R)
The S&P 500 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 500 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 also are some relatively small companies in
the Index. Those companies, however, generally are 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 also may choose to
invest in the Schwab Asset Director Funds, OneSource Portfolios-Growth
Allocation or Balanced Allocation, 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.
ASSET DIRECTOR FUNDS
As stated in the Funds' prospectus, under neutral market conditions,
each Asset Director Fund seeks to meet its investment objective by investing,
either directly or through investments in affiliated underlying mutual funds, in
a different mix of stocks, bonds and cash-equivalents. The Asset Director Funds
invest a portion of their assets in all or a representative sample of the common
stocks in the following stock sub-categories: large company; small company; and
international. As stated in the Funds' prospectus, under normal market
conditions the Investment Manager currently intends to utilize an indexing
approach to investing within each asset sub-category, which provides
shareholders with the potential benefits to be realized from both an asset
allocation strategy and an indexing approach with one investment.
59
<PAGE> 189
For the Asset Director Funds, the Investment Manager also consults a
Tactical Asset Allocation Model, which measures the relative value of each asset
category and makes recommendations for allocations within the defined ranges.
Tactical Asset Allocation is a value-oriented strategy that seeks the highest
reward for a given level of risk. Expected returns are measured for each asset
category; for stocks, the internal rate of return is measured on forecasted
dividend stream; for bonds, the yield to maturity is evaluated on representative
long corporate bonds; and for cash equivalents yield to maturity is evaluated on
representative money market instruments. Risks and correlations of the asset
categories are measured from long-term return histories. The Funds may also make
other investments that do not fall within the asset categories.
ACCESS TO SCHWAB'S MUTUAL
FUND ONESOURCE(R) SERVICE
With Schwab's Mutual Fund OneSource(R) Service ("OneSource"), a
shareholder can invest in over 650 mutual funds from many fund companies,
subject to the following. Schwab's standard transaction fee will be charged on
each redemption of fund shares held for 90 days or less to discourage short-term
trading. Mutual fund shares held for more than 90 days are exempt from the
short-term redemption policy and may be sold without penalty. Up to 15
short-term redemptions of fund shares per calendar year are permitted. If you
exceed this number, you will no longer be able to buy or sell fund shares
without paying a transaction fee. As a courtesy, we will notify you in advance
if your short-term redemptions are nearing the point where all of your future
trades will be subject to transaction fees. Schwab reserves the right to modify
OneSource's terms and conditions at any time. For more information, a
shareholder should call 800-2 NO-LOAD, 24 hours a day.

OTHER INFORMATION
From time to time, the International Index Fund and Small-Cap Index
Fund may compare the historical performance of the International Index and
Small-Cap Index, respectively, to the historical performance of various other
indices, including the S&P 500, as reported by independent sources.
Each Fund, except for the Analytics Fund and Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, is managed to offset capital gains with capital losses
in order to minimize each 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, distributing 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, each 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 each 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 generally is 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
62
<PAGE> 192
shareholder or shareholders who beneficially own(s) 10% or more of the Trust's
shares; (2) adoption of any contract for which shareholder approval is required
by the 1940 Act; (3) any termination of the Trust to the extent and as provided
in the Declaration of Trust; (4) any amendment of the Declaration of Trust
(other than amendments changing the name of the Trust or any of its investment
portfolios, supplying any omission, curing any ambiguity or curing, correcting
or supplementing any defective or inconsistent provision thereof); (5)
determining whether a court action, proceeding or claim should or should not be
brought or maintained derivatively or as a class action on behalf of the Trust
or the shareholders, to the same extent as the stockholders of a Massachusetts
business corporation; and (6) such additional matters as may be required by 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 the 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
63
<PAGE> 193
Declaration of Trust specifically authorizes the Board of Trustees to terminate
the Trust (or any of its investment portfolios) by notice to the shareholders
without shareholder approval.
Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust
could, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the Trust's
obligations. The Declaration of Trust, however, disclaims shareholder liability
for the Trust's acts or obligations and requires that notice of such disclaimer
be given in each agreement, obligation or instrument entered into or executed by
the Trust or the Trustees. In addition, the Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of the property of an investment portfolio in which a
shareholder owns or owned shares for all losses and expenses of such shareholder
or former shareholder if he or she is held personally liable for the obligations
of the Trust solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder. Moreover,
the Trust will be covered by insurance which the Trustees consider adequate to
cover foreseeable tort claims. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring
financial loss on account of shareholder liability is considered remote, because
it is limited to circumstances in which a disclaimer is 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 February 5, 1997 two Trustees owned approximately 1.8% of the
Asset Director-Conservative Growth Fund, five Trustees owned approximately 1.1%
of the Asset Director-High Growth Fund, and one Trustee owned approximately
2.19% of OneSource Portfolios-International. As of this same date, 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 classes and series of
Schwab Capital Trust.
As of February 5, 1997, The Charles Schwab Trust Company, 1 Montgomery
Street, 7th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94104, directly or beneficially owned
17.542% of the Balanced Growth Fund and 6.056% of the S&P 500 Fund Investor
Shares.
64
<PAGE> 194
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Each Fund has set minimum initial investment requirements, as disclosed
in its respective Prospectus. 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 Sub-Adviser.
The Funds, other than the Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International,
Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation have 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. The Schwab OneSource
Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced Allocation have not so
elected. This election is irrevocable without the SEC's prior approval.
Redemption requests in excess of applicable limits (as summarized below) 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" for the International Index and Small Cap Funds and under
"Important Information About Your Investment - How We Determine the Price of
Your Shares" for the Asset Director Funds, Analytics Fund, S&P 500 Fund, and
Schwab OneSource Portfolios-International, Growth Allocation and Balanced
Allocation and a redeeming shareholder would normally incur brokerage expenses
if he or she were to convert the securities to cash.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year ended October 31, 1996
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
The Schwab International Index Fund (the "Fund") is a series of Schwab Capital
Trust (the "Trust"), a no-load, 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), Schwab Asset Director(R) - High Growth Fund, Schwab Asset
Director - Balanced Growth Fund, Schwab Asset Director - Conservative Growth
Fund, Schwab S&P 500 Fund, Schwab Analytics Fund(TM), Schwab OneSource
Portfolios - International, Schwab OneSource Portfolios - Growth Allocation and
Schwab OneSource Portfolios - Balanced Allocation. The assets of each series are
segregated and accounted for separately.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Security valuation -- Investments in securities traded on an exchange and
investments in money market funds are valued at the last 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 by the Fund's investment manager pursuant
to guidelines adopted in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities with 60 days or less to maturity are stated at amortized cost, which
approximates market value.
F-15
<PAGE> 211
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Security transactions and investment income -- Security transactions are
accounted for on a trade date basis (date the order to buy or sell is executed).
Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date; interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized
gains and losses from security transactions are determined on an identified cost
basis.
Repurchase agreements -- Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or government agency securities. All collateral is held by the Fund's
custodian and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value at least equals
the repurchase price under the agreement.
Foreign currency translation -- The accounting records of the Fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and all other assets and
liabilities of the Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into
U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on October 31. Purchases and sales of
securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S.
dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the dates of the respective
transactions.
The Fund separates within its statement of operations the portion of realized
and unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates
from that arising from changes in securities' market values.
Forward currency contracts -- A forward currency contract ("Forward") is an
agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a
future date. The value of the Forward fluctuates with changes in currency
exchange rates. The Forward is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is
recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the Forward is closed,
the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time the contract
was closed. The Fund engages in Forwards in connection with the purchase and
sale of portfolio securities to minimize the uncertainty of changes in future
exchange rates. The Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the
contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the
foreign currency changes unfavorably.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year ended October 31, 1996
Deferred organization costs -- Costs incurred in connection with the
organization of the Fund and its initial registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission 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 generally 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 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, 1996, (for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes),
net unrealized gain aggregated $32,583,000, of which $45,871,000 related to
appreciated securities and $13,288,000 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 0.70% of the first $300 million
of average daily net assets and 0.60% of such assets over $300 million. Under
this agreement, the Fund incurred investment advisory and administration fees of
$1,561,000 during the year ended October 31, 1996, before the Investment Manager
reduced its fee (see Note 4).
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 0.05% of average daily

net assets for transfer agency services and 0.20% of such assets for shareholder
services. For the year ended October 31, 1996, the Fund incurred transfer agency
and shareholder service fees of $559,000, before Schwab reduced its fees (see
Note 4).
Officers and trustees -- Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also
officers and/or directors of the Investment Manager and/or Schwab. During the
year ended October 31, 1996, the Trust made no direct payments to its officers
or trustees who are "interested persons" within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund incurred fees of $22,000 related to
the Trust's unaffiliated trustees.
4. 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, 1996, the total of such fees reduced by the Investment Manager
and Schwab was $675,000 and $403,000, respectively (see Note 9).
5. 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, 1996, no borrowings were
made under this arrangement.
6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term obligations,
aggregated (in thousands) $75,454 and $27,236, respectively, for the year ended

capital. For the year ended October 31, 1996, total early withdrawal fees

==========
</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 have occurred that decreased undistributed net investment
income by $19,000 and increased net realized loss on investments sold and
foreign currency transactions and capital paid in by $34,000 and $53,000,
respectively. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of
the Fund.
At October 31, 1996, the Fund's Statement of Net Assets included: $71,000
payable for investments purchased, $142,000 payable for Fund shares redeemed,
$32,000 payable for investment advisory and administration fee and $244,000
receivable for Fund shares sold.

To the Trustees and Shareholders
of the Schwab International Index Fund(R)
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights 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, 1996, the
results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial
highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the
Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at October 31, 1996 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year ended October 31, 1996
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
The Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund (the "Fund") is a series of Schwab Capital Trust
(the "Trust"), a no-load, open-end, investment management 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(R), Schwab Asset Director(R) - High Growth Fund, Schwab Asset
Director - Balanced Growth Fund, Schwab Asset Director - Conservative Growth
Fund, Schwab S&P 500 Fund, Schwab Analytics Fund(TM), Schwab OneSource
Portfolios - International, Schwab OneSource Portfolios - Growth Allocation and
Schwab OneSource Portfolios - Balanced Allocation. The assets of each series are
segregated and accounted for separately.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Security valuation -- Investments in securities traded on an exchange and
investments in money market funds are valued at the last 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 by the Fund's investment manager pursuant
to guidelines adopted in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities with 60 days or less to maturity are stated at amortized cost, which
approximates market value.
F-55
<PAGE> 251
SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX FUND(R)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year ended October 31, 1996
Security transactions and investment income -- Security transactions 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 and its initial registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission 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 generally 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 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, 1996, (for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes),
net unrealized gain aggregated $36,182,000, of which $49,087,000 related to
appreciated securities and $12,905,000 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
F-56
<PAGE> 252
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
services and facilities furnished, the Fund pays an annual fee, payable monthly,
of 0.50% of the first $300 million of average daily net assets and 0.45% of such
assets over $300 million. Under this agreement, the Fund incurred investment
advisory and administration fees of $867,000 during the year ended October 31,
1996, before the Investment Manager reduced its fee (see Note 4).
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 0.05% of the average daily net assets for
transfer agency services and 0.20% of such assets for shareholder services. For
the year ended October 31, 1996, the Fund incurred transfer agency and
shareholder service fees of $434,000, before Schwab reduced its fees (see Note
4).
Officers and trustees -- Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also
officers and/or directors of the Investment Manager and/or Schwab. During the
year ended October 31, 1996, the Trust made no direct payments to its officers
or trustees who are "interested persons" within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund incurred fees of $16,000 related to
the Trust's unaffiliated trustees.
4. 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, 1996, the total of such fees reduced by the Investment Manager
and Schwab was $347,000 and $263,000, respectively.
5. 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

Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term obligations,
aggregated (in thousands) $116,019 and $50,425, respectively, for the year ended
October 31, 1996.
7. EARLY WITHDRAWAL FEES PAID TO THE FUND

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, 1996, total early withdrawal fees

To the Trustees and Shareholders of
the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(R)
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund (one of the series constituting Schwab Capital
Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at October 31, 1996, the results of
its operations, the changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the
periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October
31, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Period from November 20, 1995 (commencement of operations) to
October 31, 1996
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNDS
The Schwab Asset Director(R) - High Growth Fund, Schwab Asset
Director - Balanced Growth Fund and Schwab Asset Director - Conservative Growth
Fund (the "Funds") are series of Schwab Capital Trust (the "Trust"), a no-load,
open-end investment management 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 three Funds described above, the Trust also offers -- the
Schwab International Index Fund(R), Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(R), Schwab S&P
500 Fund, Schwab Analytics Fund(TM), Schwab OneSource
Portfolios - International, Schwab OneSource Portfolios - Growth Allocation and
Schwab OneSource Portfolios - Balanced Allocation. The assets of each series are
segregated and accounted for separately.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Security valuation -- Investments in securities traded on an exchange and
investments in money market funds 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 by the Funds' investment manager pursuant
to guidelines adopted in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Bonds and notes
are generally valued at prices obtained from an independent bond-pricing
service. These securities are valued at the mean between the representative
quoted bid and asked prices, or if such prices are not available, at prices for
securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Short-term securities with
F-195
<PAGE> 391
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Period from November 20, 1995 (commencement of operations) to
October 31, 1996
60 days or less to maturity are stated at amortized cost, which approximates
market value.
Security transactions and investment income -- Security transactions are
accounted for on a trade date basis (date the order to buy or sell is executed).
Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes
amortization of premium and accretion of discount on investments. Realized gains
and losses from security transactions are determined on an identified cost
basis. For callable bonds purchased at a premium, the excess of the purchase
price over the call value is amortized against interest income through the call
date. If the call provision is not exercised, any remaining premium is amortized
through the final maturity date.
Repurchase agreements -- Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or government agency securities. All collateral is held by the Funds'
custodian and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value at least equals
the repurchase price under the agreement.
Foreign currency translation -- The accounting records of the Funds are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and all other assets and
liabilities of the Funds denominated in a foreign currency are translated into
U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on October 31, 1996. Purchases and sales of
foreign securities, foreign income receipts and foreign expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the dates of the
respective transactions.
The Funds separate within their statement of operations the portion of realized
and unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates
from that arising from changes in securities' market values.
Forward currency contracts -- A forward currency contract ("Forward") is an
agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a
future date. The value of the Forward fluctuates with changes in currency
exchange rates. The Forward is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is
recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss.
F-196
<PAGE> 392
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the Forward is closed, the Funds record 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 Funds engage in Forwards in
connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities to minimize the
uncertainty of changes in future exchange rates. The Funds could be exposed to
risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the
contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably.
Deferred organization costs -- Costs incurred in connection with the
organization of the Funds and their initial registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission are amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year
period from each Fund's commencement of operations.
Expenses -- Expenses arising in connection with a Fund are charged directly to
that Fund. Expenses common to all series of the Trust are generally allocated to
each series in proportion to their relative net assets.
Federal income taxes -- It is each Fund's policy to meet the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to

To the Trustees and Shareholders of
the Schwab Asset Director(R) - High Growth Fund,
Schwab Asset Director - Balanced Growth Fund and
Schwab Asset Director - Conservative Growth Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Schwab Asset Director - High Growth Fund, Schwab Asset Director - Balanced
Growth Fund and Schwab Asset Director - Conservative Growth Fund (three of the
series constituting Schwab Capital Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust")
at October 31, 1996, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in
each of their net assets and the financial highlights for the period November
20, 1995 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 1996, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
the financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are
the responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 1996 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.

Schwab S&P 500 Fund
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Period from May 1, 1996 (commencement of operations) to
October 31, 1996
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
The S&P 500 Fund (the "Fund"), is a series of Schwab Capital Trust (the
"Trust"), a no-load, open-end, investment management company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust on May 7, 1993 and registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The Fund offers two classes of shares -- Investor Shares and e.Shares(TM). The
Investor Shares are available to all investors. The e.Shares are available only
to clients of Schwab Institutional and The Charles Schwab Trust Company and to
certain tax-advantaged retirement plans who can execute their trading and
information requests through SchwabLink(TM). Both classes represent interests in
the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and are substantially the same in
all respects except that the classes are subject to different transfer agency
and shareholder service fees (see Note 3), investment minimums and certain other
expenses.
In addition to the Fund, the Trust also offers the International Index Fund(R),
Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(R), Schwab Asset Director(R) - High Growth Fund,
Schwab Asset Director - Balanced Growth Fund, Schwab Asset
Director - Conservative Growth Fund, Schwab Analytics Fund(TM), Schwab OneSource
Portfolios - International, Schwab OneSource Portfolios - Growth Allocation and
Schwab OneSource Portfolios - Balanced Allocation. The assets of each series are
segregated and accounted for separately.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Security valuation -- Investments in securities traded on an exchange and
investments in money market funds are valued at the last 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
F-219
<PAGE> 415
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with 60 days or less to maturity are stated at amortized
cost, which approximates market value.
Security transactions -- Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date
basis (date the order to buy or sell is executed).
Deferred organization costs -- Costs incurred in connection with the
organization of the Fund and its initial registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission 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 generally allocated to
each series in proportion to their relative net assets. Expenses attributable to
both classes of shares of the Fund are allocated daily to each class based on
the value of settled shares outstanding of each respective class. Transfer
agency, shareholder service fees and certain other expenses that are class
specific are calculated daily at the class level.
Investment income and realized gains (losses) -- 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. Income and realized
gains (losses) are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the value of
settled shares outstanding of each respective class.
Federal income taxes -- It is the Fund's policy to meet the requirements of the

To the Trustees and Shareholders of
the Schwab S&P 500 Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Schwab S&P 500 Fund (one of the series constituting Schwab Capital Trust,
hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at October 31, 1996, and the results of
its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for
the period May 1, 1996 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at October
31, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
The Schwab Analytics Fund (the "Fund") is a series of Schwab Capital Trust (the
"Trust"), a no-load, open-end, investment management 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(R), Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(R), Schwab Asset Director(R) - High Growth
Fund, Schwab Asset Director - Balanced Growth Fund, Schwab Asset
Director - Conservative Growth Fund, Schwab S&P 500 Fund, Schwab OneSource
Portfolios - International, Schwab OneSource Portfolios - Growth Allocation and
Schwab OneSource Portfolios - Balanced Allocation. The assets of each series are
segregated and accounted for separately.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Security valuation -- Investments in securities traded on an exchange and
investments in money market funds are valued at the last 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 by the Fund's investment manager pursuant
to guidelines adopted in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities with 60 days or less to maturity are stated at amortized cost, which
approximates market value.
F-235
<PAGE> 431
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Security transactions and investment income -- Security transactions 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 and its initial registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission 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 generally 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 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, 1996, (for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes),
net unrealized gain aggregated $7,411,000, of which $8,203,000 related to
appreciated securities and $792,000 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 0.74% of the first $1 billion
of average daily net assets, 0.69% of the next $1 billion and 0.64% of such
assets over $2 billion. Under this agreement, the Fund incurred investment
advisory and administration fees of $217,000 during the period ended October 31,
1996, before the Investment Manager reduced its fee (see Note 4).
Sub-advisory agreement -- The Investment Manager has a sub-advisory agreement
with Symphony Asset Management, Inc. ("Symphony") to serve as sub-adviser to the
Fund. Symphony does not receive compensation directly from the Fund. However,
the Investment Manager pays Symphony an annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.20% of
the Fund's average daily net assets on the first $300 million, 0.15% of the next
$500 million, and 0.10% of such assets over $800 million.
Transfer agency and shareholder service agreements -- The Trust has transfer
agency and shareholder service agreements with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
("Schwab"). For services provided under these agreements, Schwab receives an
annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.05% of the average daily net assets for
transfer agency services and 0.20% of such assets for shareholder services. For
the period ended October 31, 1996, the Fund incurred transfer agency and
shareholder service fees of $74,000, before Schwab reduced its fees (see Note
4).
Officers and trustees -- Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also
officers and/or directors of the Investment Manager and/or Schwab. During the
period ended October 31, 1996, the Trust made no direct payments to its officers
or trustees who are "interested persons" within the meaning of the Investment

To the Trustees and Shareholders of
the Schwab Analytics Fund(TM)
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Schwab Analytics Fund (one of the series constituting Schwab Capital Trust,
hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at October 31, 1996, and the results of
its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for
the period July 1, 1996 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 1996,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at October
31, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Period from October 16, 1996 (commencement of operations) to
October 31, 1996
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
The Schwab OneSource Portfolios -- International (the "Fund") is a series of
Schwab Capital Trust (the "Trust"), a no-load, open-end, management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on May 7, 1993 and
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act").
The Fund's assets are invested principally in a diversified portfolio of
underlying international equity funds, primarily OneSource Funds that are not
affiliated with the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act. International equity funds
are those which invest, under normal market conditions, in equity securities of
companies located in one or more countries other than the United States with a
developed securities market. The Fund is designed to give shareholders a single
investment that offers broad international diversification.
In addition to the Fund, the Trust also offers the Schwab International Index
Fund(R), Schwab Small-Cap Index Fund(R), Schwab Asset Director(R) - High Growth
Fund, Schwab Asset Director - Balanced Growth Fund, Schwab Asset
Director - Conservative Growth Fund, Schwab S&P 500 Fund, Schwab Analytics
Fund(TM), Schwab OneSource Portfolios - Growth Allocation and Schwab OneSource
Portfolios - Balanced Allocation. The assets of each series are segregated and
accounted for separately.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Security valuation -- Investments in underlying funds are valued at their
respective net asset values as determined by those funds, in accordance with the
1940 Act, for a given day. Investments in securities traded on an

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Period from October 16, 1996 (commencement of operations) to
October 31, 1996
exchange are valued at the last sale price for a given day, or if a sale is not
reported for that day, at the mean between the most recent 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. Other investments, for
which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined
by the Fund's investment manager pursuant to guidelines adopted in good faith by
the Board of Trustees.
Security transactions and investment income -- Security transactions 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.
Deferred organization costs -- Costs incurred in connection with the
organization of the Fund and its initial registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission 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 generally 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 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, 1996, (for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes),
net unrealized loss aggregated $524,245, of which $64,481 related to appreciated
securities and $588,726 related to depreciated securities.

<PAGE> 443

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") whereby the Investment Manager manages the
Fund's business affairs and provides underlying fund analysis, selection,
ongoing monitoring, and investment management services. For these services, the
Fund pays an annual fee, payable monthly, of 0.74% of the first $1 billion of
average daily net assets, 0.69% of the next $1 billion and 0.64% of such assets
over $2 billion. Under this agreement, the Fund incurred investment advisory and
administration fees of $17,321 during the period ended October 31, 1996, before
the Investment Manager reduced its fee (see Note 4).
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 0.05% of average daily net assets for transfer
agency services and 0.20% of such assets for shareholder services. For the
period ended October 31, 1996, the Fund incurred transfer agency and shareholder
service fees of $5,852, before Schwab reduced its fees (see Note 4).
Officers and trustees -- Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also
officers and/or directors of the Investment Manager and/or Schwab. During the
period ended October 31, 1996, the Trust made no direct payments to its officers
or trustees who are "interested persons" within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund incurred fees of $1,504 related to the
Trust's unaffiliated trustees.
4. EXPENSES REDUCED AND ABSORBED BY THE INVESTMENT MANAGER
AND SCHWAB
The Investment Manager and Schwab reduced a portion of their fees and absorbed
certain expenses in order to limit the Fund's ratio of operating expenses to
average net assets. For the period ended October 31, 1996, the total of such
fees and expenses reduced and absorbed by the Investment Manager was $62,226 and
the total of such fees reduced by Schwab was $5,852 (see Note 7).

To the Trustees and Shareholders
of the Schwab OneSource Portfolios--International
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Schwab OneSource Portfolios - International (one of the series constituting
Schwab Capital Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at October 31, 1996,
and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the
financial highlights for the period October 16, 1996 (commencement of
operations) through October 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the
Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included
confirmation of securities at October 31, 1996 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Item 27. Indemnification.
C-9
<PAGE> 456
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.
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.
Item 28. Business and Other Connections of Investment Manager.
(a) Information pertaining to business and other connections of
Registrant's Investment Manager is incorporated by reference to the Prospectus
section captioned "Management of the Fund" and to the section of the Statement

the Prospectus section captioned "Management Functions and Responsibilities" and
to the section of the Statement of Additional Information captioned "Management
of the Trust" for the Schwab Analytics Fund(TM).
