As previously communicated, SchwabFunds is conducting a proxy mailing to all
shareholders as of record date, March 3, 2000. A proxy solicitor, D.F. King &
Co., has been retained to make follow-up phone calls as necessary on behalf of
the funds. These phone calls are scheduled to begin for institutional clients on
or about May 1, 2000.
Based on your clients' standing preferences for proxy voting, the call will be
directed to the authorized voting party - either you or your client. A prompt
response from you or your clients will help reduce the likelihood of receiving
follow-up phone calls or mailings.
Again, we hope that you view this proxy effort as an opportunity to determine
the proxy instructions your clients have on file with Schwab Institutional and
if necessary, alter them.
