All fund and index figures on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. <strong>In</strong>dex figures do not include trading and<br />
management costs, which would lower performance. <strong>In</strong>dices are unmanaged, and you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less<br />
than one year are not annualized. Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on<br />
the redemption of fund shares.<br />
<strong>In</strong>vestment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or<br />
less than their original cost. Unlike mutual funds, shares of ETFs are not individually redeemable directly with the ETF. Shares are bought and<br />
sold at market price (not NAV). Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.<br />
<strong>In</strong>dex ownership — “FTSE˛” is a trademark jointly owned by the London Stock Exchange plc and The Financial Times Limited and is used by<br />

in relation to their issue, operation and trading.<br />
* Total return for the report period presented in the table differs from the return in the Financial Highlights. The total return presented in the<br />
above table is calculated based on the NAV at which shareholder transactions were processed. The total return presented in the Financial<br />
Highlights section of the report is calculated in the same manner, but also takes into account certain adjustments that are necessary under<br />
generally accepted accounting principles required in the annual and semiannual reports.<br />

The fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets<br />
(including the market value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is<br />
based on the NAV of the fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the fund. The price used to calculate<br />
market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock<br />
exchange on which the shares of the fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. Market Price and NAV<br />
returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.<br />

Marie Chandoha is President and<br />
CEO of Charles Schwab <strong>In</strong>vestment<br />
Management, <strong>In</strong>c. and the funds<br />
covered in this report.<br />
Dear Shareholder,<br />
As President and CEO of Charles Schwab <strong>In</strong>vestment Management, <strong>In</strong>c., I’d<br />
like to thank you for trusting us to help you meet your investment objectives,<br />
and for reading this important report concerning the Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational<br />
ETFs. For the 12 months ended August 31, 2012, international stocks endured<br />
strong headwinds and lackluster global growth, posting mixed returns in localcurrency<br />
terms that generally translated into losses in U.S. dollar terms as<br />
many major currencies depreciated versus the U.S. dollar.<br />
European developments dominated the headlines, while economic growth<br />
around the globe remained subdued. The euro zone continued to face<br />
challenging times amid economic austerity measures brought on by the<br />
region’s sovereign debt crisis. The European Central Bank worked diligently in<br />
this environment to ensure stability and adequate liquidity in the financial<br />
markets. Greece restructured its debt in 2012, giving investor confidence a<br />
temporary lift, but attention soon turned to the much larger debt markets of<br />
Italy and Spain. Emerging economies generally faced slower-growth scenarios,<br />
while economic activity in China—a relative bright spot among developing<br />
markets in recent years—slowed but remained robust.<br />
The often-challenging international backdrop translated into declines for many<br />
major world currencies versus the U.S. dollar, weighing on international stock<br />
returns for U.S. investors. Illustrating this performance, the FTSE Developed<br />
ex-US <strong>In</strong>dex (Net) returned -0.85% in U.S. dollar terms, weighed down by<br />
modest declines in the value of Australian, Canadian, British, and Japanese<br />

Thank you for investing in the Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational ETFs. As you may be<br />
aware, we recently announced that effective September 20, 2012, we reduced<br />
the operating expense ratios (OERs) on our entire suite of ETFs. As a result,<br />
Schwab ETFs now have some of the lowest OERs in their respective Lipper<br />
categories.*<br />
We encourage you to review your investment portfolio regularly to ensure that<br />
it meets your current financial plan. For answers to frequently asked questions<br />

Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational ETFs 5
Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational Equity ETFÏ<br />
The Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational Equity ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of<br />
the FTSE Developed ex-US <strong>In</strong>dex (the index). The index is comprised of large- and mid-capitalization companies in developed<br />
countries outside the U.S., as defined by the index provider. The index defines the large- and mid-capitalization universe as<br />
approximately the top 90% of the eligible universe. The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index<br />
that collectively has a similar profile to the index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the fund may not hold all of the<br />
securities included in the index.<br />
During the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2012, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was<br />
-0.27% and its NAV return was -0.79% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the<br />
following page). The index returned -0.85% during the same period. Because the return of the index does not include operational<br />
and transactional costs, the return of the fund tends to differ from that of the index.<br />
Market Highlights. Large- and mid-cap international stocks generated modestly negative overall returns in U.S. dollar terms, with<br />
country markets in the index generating mixed results. The euro zone’s sovereign debt crisis weighed on the performance of<br />
international stocks, as did lackluster overall growth in developed economies around the world. The decline of most major<br />
currencies from the British pound to Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar also reduced international stock returns in<br />
U.S. dollar terms.<br />
Contributors and Detractors. U.K. stocks were some of the biggest contributors to the index’s return, and to the return of the<br />
fund. The large average weight of this market reflected part of the reason for this contribution, with shares of U.K. companies<br />
representing approximately 19% of the fund. Stocks of U.K. companies benefitted from being alternatives to the crisis-plagued euro<br />
zone. U.K. stocks returned nearly 8% in U.S. dollar terms, a return that would have been higher for U.S. investors if not for the<br />
roughly 2% depreciation of the British pound versus the U.S. dollar. The fund’s holdings of mobile communications provider<br />
Vodafone Group provided one example of this market’s performance, returning approximately 19% for the fund.<br />
German stocks, which represented an average weight of nearly 7%, also provided meaningful contributions. Shares of German<br />
companies returned approximately 5% for the fund in U.S. dollar terms, benefitting from the country’s safe-haven allure compared<br />
with many of Europe’s more debt-challenged members. Although modest once converted into U.S. dollars, the return on German<br />
stocks was far more significant in local-currency terms that excluded the euro’s roughly 12% decline versus the U.S. dollar. Shares<br />
of pharmaceutical manufacturer Bayer AG provided one example of the performance of German stocks, returning 24% for<br />
the fund.<br />
Japanese stocks were some of the bigger detractors from the performance of the index, and from the performance of the fund.<br />
Shares of Japanese companies represented an average weight of approximately 17% of the fund. With Japan continuing to grapple<br />
with deflation and uninspiring economic growth, stocks in the country returned approximately -5% in U.S. dollar terms, which<br />
included a 2% depreciation in the value of the yen relative to the U.S. dollar. Shares of imaging solutions company Canon <strong>In</strong>c.<br />
provided one example of the performance of Japanese stocks, returning -25% for the fund.<br />

Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational Small-Cap Equity ETFÏ<br />
The Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational Small-Cap Equity ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the<br />
total return of the FTSE Developed Small Cap ex-US Liquid <strong>In</strong>dex (the index). The index is comprised of small-capitalization<br />
companies in developed countries outside the U.S., as defined by the index provider. The index defines the small-capitalization<br />
universe as approximately the bottom 10% of the eligible universe with a minimum free-float capitalization of $150 million. The<br />
fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index that collectively has a similar profile to the index. Due to<br />
the use of representative sampling, the fund may not hold all of the securities included in the index.<br />
During the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2012, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was<br />
-5.35% and its NAV return was -5.91% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the<br />
following page). The index returned -6.14% during the same period. Because the return of the index does not include operational<br />
and transactional costs, the return of the fund tends to differ from that of the index.<br />
Market Highlights. Small-cap international stocks generated modestly negative overall returns in U.S. dollar terms, with country<br />
markets in the index generating mixed results. The euro zone’s sovereign debt crisis weighed on the performance of international<br />
stocks, as did lackluster overall growth in developed economies around the world. The decline of most major currencies from the<br />
British pound to Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar also reduced international stock returns in U.S. dollar terms.<br />
Contributors and Detractors. U.K. stocks were some of the biggest contributors to the index’s return, and to the return of the<br />
fund. The large average weight of this market reflected part of the reason for this contribution, with shares of U.K. companies<br />
representing approximately 17% of the fund. Stocks of U.K. companies benefitted from being alternatives to the crisis-plagued euro<br />
zone. U.K. stocks returned approximately 13% for the fund in U.S. dollar terms, a return that would have been higher still for<br />
U.S. investors if not for the roughly 2% depreciation of the British pound versus the U.S. dollar. Aberdeen Asset Management was<br />
a key U.K. performer. Stock of this large money management firm returned nearly 42% for the fund.<br />
Singaporean stocks, which represented an average weight of nearly 2% of the fund, also positively contributed to performance.<br />
Stocks in Singapore returned approximately 4% for the fund in U.S. dollar terms, which included a roughly 3% decline in the<br />
value of Singapore’s dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. Like other countries in the region, Singapore faced its share of challenges,<br />
enduring economic contraction toward the latter part of the report period as manufacturing output slowed amid lackluster global<br />
demand. Shares of SATS Ltd. provided one example of this market’s performance. The ground-handling and in-flight catering<br />
company returned approximately 23% for the fund.<br />
Japanese stocks were some of the bigger detractors from the fund’s performance. Shares of Japanese companies represented an<br />
average weight of approximately 15%. With Japan continuing to grapple with deflation and uninspiring economic growth, stocks<br />
in the country returned approximately -6% in U.S. dollar terms, which included a 2% depreciation in the value of the yen relative<br />
to the U.S. dollar. Shares of capacitor manufacturer and marketer Nichicon Corp. provided one example of the performance of<br />
Japanese stocks, returning -47% for the fund.<br />

The fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets<br />
(including the market value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is<br />
based on the NAV of the fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the fund. The price used to calculate<br />
market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock<br />
exchange on which the shares of the fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. NAV is used as a proxy for<br />
purposes of calculating Market Price Return on inception date. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions<br />
have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.<br />

Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETFÏ<br />
The Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF (the fund) seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total<br />
return of the FTSE All-Emerging <strong>In</strong>dex (the index). The index is comprised of the large- and mid-capitalization companies in<br />
emerging market countries, as defined by the index provider. The index defines the large- and mid-capitalization universe as<br />
approximately the top 90% of the eligible universe. The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the index<br />
that collectively has a similar profile to the index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the fund may not hold all of the<br />
securities included in the index.<br />
During the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2012, the fund closely tracked the index. The fund’s market price return was<br />
-6.62% and its NAV return was -7.04% (for an explanation of the market price and NAV returns, please refer to footnote 2 on the<br />
following page). The index returned -6.64% during the same period. Because the return of the index does not include operational<br />
and transactional costs, the return of the fund tends to differ from that of the index.<br />
Market Highlights. Emerging market stocks generated disappointing returns, as global economic growth softened and the euro<br />
zone’s sovereign debt crisis continued, while the country markets represented by the index generated mixed returns. Particularly<br />
weighing on performance were signs of a slowdown in manufacturing activity in countries such as Brazil and Taiwan, while China,<br />
Russia, and <strong>In</strong>dia were relative bright spots of economic activity.<br />
Contributors and Detractors. Malaysian stocks were some of the biggest contributors to the index’s return, and to the return of<br />
the fund. The relatively large average weight of this market compared with other markets reflected part of the reason for this<br />
contribution. Shares of companies in Malaysia represented an average weight of approximately 5% of the fund. Malaysian stocks<br />
returned nearly 11% in U.S. dollar terms, a return that would have been higher for U.S. investors if not for the roughly 5%<br />
depreciation of the Malaysian ringgit versus the U.S. dollar. The fund’s shares of Malayan Banking provided one example of the<br />
performance of this market, returning 9% for the fund as Malaysia enjoyed moderate economic growth and unemployment levels<br />
that hovered around 3.1% in early 2012.<br />
Turkish stocks, which represented an average weight of nearly 2%, also positively contributed to performance. Stocks in Turkey<br />
returned an impressive 22% for the fund in U.S. dollar terms, a return that was more noteworthy still when considering the<br />
roughly 6% decline in the value of Turkey’s lira relative to the U.S. dollar. Turkey enjoyed respectable economic growth in recent<br />
years, holding up better than many other economies around the world. Shares of retail and commercial banking company Turkiye<br />
Garanti Bankasi provided one example of the performance of Turkish stocks, returning approximately 21% for the fund.<br />
Brazilian stocks were some of the most significant detractors from the performance of the index and fund. Shares of companies in<br />
Brazil represented an average weight of approximately 18%. With Brazil facing decelerating economic growth, lighter demand for<br />
private-sector loans, and continuing to grapple with inflation concerns, stocks in the country returned approximately -16% in<br />
U.S. dollar terms. However, returns would have been far better for U.S. investors if not for the sharp 22% depreciation in the value<br />
of Brazil’s real relative to the U.S. dollar. ADRs representing common stock of metals producer Vale SA provided one example of<br />
the performance of Brazilian stocks, returning -39% for the fund.<br />

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)<br />
Examples for a $1,000 <strong>In</strong>vestment<br />
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction<br />
costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and<br />
sales of fund shares; and, (2) ongoing costs, including management<br />
fees and other fund expenses.<br />
The expense examples below are intended to help you understand<br />
your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to<br />
compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other<br />
mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of<br />
$1,000 invested for six months beginning March 1, 2012 and<br />
held through August 31, 2012.<br />
Actual Return lines in the table below provide information<br />
about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use<br />
this information, together with the amount you invested, to<br />
estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so,<br />
simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an<br />
$8,600 account value � $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result<br />
by the number given for your fund or share class under the<br />
heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”<br />
Expense Ratio 1<br />
(Annualized)<br />
Hypothetical Return lines in the table below provide information<br />
about hypothetical account values and hypothetical<br />
expenses based on a fund’s actual expense ratio and an<br />
assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the<br />
return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to<br />
estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid<br />
for the period.<br />
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of<br />
investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this<br />
5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples<br />
that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.<br />
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to<br />
highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any<br />
transactional costs, including any redemption fees or brokerage<br />
commissions you may pay when purchasing or selling shares of<br />
the fund. If these transactional costs were included, your costs<br />
would have been higher.<br />

1. Business Structure of the Funds<br />
Each of the funds discussed in this report is a series of Schwab Strategic Trust (the “trust”), a no-load, open-end management<br />
investment company. The trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the <strong>In</strong>vestment Company Act<br />
of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The list below shows all the funds in the trust as of the end of the period, including the<br />
funds discussed in this report, which are highlighted:<br />

The funds issue and redeem shares at their net assets value per share (“NAV”) only in large blocks of shares, typically 100,000<br />
shares or more (“Creation Units”). These transactions are usually in exchange for a basket of securities and an amount of cash.<br />
As a practical matter, only institutions or large investors purchase or redeem Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation<br />
Units, shares of the fund are not redeemable securities.<br />
<strong>In</strong>dividual shares of the funds trade on national securities exchanges and elsewhere during the trading day and can only be<br />
bought and sold at market prices throughout the trading day through a broker-dealer. Because fund shares trade at market<br />
prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).<br />
Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax<br />
purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.<br />
2. Significant Accounting Policies:<br />
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in their preparation of financial statements. The<br />
accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).<br />
(a) Security Valuation:<br />
Under procedures approved by the funds’ Board of Trustees (the Board), the investment adviser and administrator have formed<br />
a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and to ensure that prices<br />
used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair market value. Among other things, these<br />
procedures allow the funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers<br />
and other market sources to determine fair value.<br />
The funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The funds use the following policies to value various types<br />
of securities:<br />
72<br />
k Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: valuedattheclosingvaluefortheday,or,ondayswhenno<br />
closing value has been reported at halfway between the most recent bid and ask quotes. Securities that are primarily traded<br />
on foreign exchanges are valued at the official closing price or the last sales price on the exchange where the securities are<br />
principally traded with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, unless these securities are<br />
fair valued as discussed below.<br />
k Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Board has adopted procedures to fair value each fund’s securities<br />
when market prices are not “readily available” or are unreliable. For example, a fund may fair value a security when it is<br />
de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a<br />
price; or when a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Each fund makes fair value<br />
determinations in good faith in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. The Pricing Committee considers a<br />
number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may employ<br />
techniques such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activity, recent transactions,<br />
market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. The Pricing

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):<br />
Committee regularly reviews these inputs and assumptions to calibrate the valuations. The Board convenes on a regular<br />
basis to review fair value determinations made by the funds pursuant to the procedures.<br />
k Bonds and notes: valued at halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes or, if such quotes are unavailable, at<br />
prices for securities of comparable maturity, credit quality and type. Valuations for bonds and notes are provided by an<br />
independent bond-pricing service.<br />
k Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.<br />
k Underlying funds: valued at their respective net asset values.<br />
<strong>In</strong> accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the<br />
fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value.<br />
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets<br />
or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to<br />
the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If the funds determine that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or<br />
liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs<br />
are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair<br />
value.<br />
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:<br />
k Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities — <strong>In</strong>vestments whose values are based on quoted market<br />
prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities. The funds<br />
do not adjust the quoted prices for such investments, even in situations where the funds hold a large position and a sale<br />
could reasonably impact the quoted price. <strong>In</strong>vestments in underlying funds are valued at their NAV daily and are classified<br />
as Level 1 prices.<br />
k Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment<br />
speeds, credit risk, etc.) — <strong>In</strong>vestments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are<br />
based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by<br />
observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most<br />
government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and<br />
state, municipal and provincial obligations. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions<br />
that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect<br />
illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.<br />
k Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of<br />
investments) — <strong>In</strong>vestments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may<br />
trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the funds use one or more<br />
valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the funds in estimating the<br />
value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active<br />
markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes<br />
in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the<br />
amount of such discount estimated by the funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the funds<br />
due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the funds’ results of<br />
operations.<br />
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in<br />
those securities.<br />
The levels associated with valuing the funds’ investments as of August 31, 2012 are disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings.<br />
(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio <strong>In</strong>vestments (if held):<br />
Securities Lending: Under the Securities Lending Program, a fund (the “lender”) may make short-term loans of its securities to<br />
another party (the “borrower”) to generate additional revenue for the fund. The borrower pledges collateral in the form of cash,<br />
73
Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational ETFs<br />
Financial Notes (continued)<br />
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):<br />
securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government or foreign government, or letters of credit issued by a bank.<br />
Collateral at the individual loan level is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current market value of the loaned<br />
securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities and is marked to market<br />
daily. The cash collateral of securities loaned is invested in money market portfolios registered under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act.<br />
Securities lending income, as disclosed in a fund’s Statement of Operations, if applicable, represents the income earned from the<br />
investment of the cash collateral plus any fees paid by borrowers, less the fees paid to the lending agent which are subject to<br />
adjustments pursuant to the securities lending agreement.<br />
If applicable, the value of the securities on loan as of August 31, 2012 and the value of the related collateral are disclosed in the<br />
Portfolio Holdings and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.<br />
(c) Security Transactions:<br />
Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from<br />
security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.<br />
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in U.S. dollars. For assets and liabilities held on a given<br />
date, the dollar value is based on market exchange rates in effect on that date. Transactions involving foreign currencies,<br />
including purchases, sales, income receipts and expense payments, are calculated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction<br />
date. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the<br />
trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the differences between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest,<br />
and foreign withholdings taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign<br />
exchange gains and losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than<br />
investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period. These realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses<br />
are reported in foreign currency transactions or translations on the Statement of Operations. The funds do not isolate the<br />
portion of the fluctuations on investments resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations in<br />
market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from<br />
investments.<br />
Gainsrealizedbythefundsonthesaleofsecuritiesincertainforeigncountriesmaybesubjecttonon-U.S.taxes.<strong>In</strong>those<br />
instances, the funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of<br />
these securities.<br />
(d) <strong>In</strong>vestment <strong>In</strong>come:<br />
<strong>In</strong>terest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are<br />
recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date), although the funds record certain foreign security dividends on<br />
the day they learn of the ex-dividend date.<br />
(e) Expenses:<br />
Expensesthatarespecifictoafundarechargeddirectlytothefund.<br />
(f) Distributions to Shareholders:<br />
The funds make distributions from net investment income and distribute net realized capital gains, if any, once a year.<br />
(g) Accounting Estimates:<br />
The accounting policies described in this report conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of<br />
America. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has<br />
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It’s possible that once the<br />
results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates and these differences may be material.<br />
74
Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational ETFs<br />
Financial Notes (continued)<br />
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):<br />
(h) Federal <strong>In</strong>come Taxes:<br />
The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the<br />
funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to their respective<br />
shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.<br />
(i) Foreign Taxes:<br />
The funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, corporate events, foreign<br />
currency exchanges, capital gains on investments on currency repatriation. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the<br />
applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in foreign markets in which the funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are<br />
paid by the funds and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Foreign taxes payable as of August 31, 2012, if any, are<br />
reflected in the funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.<br />
(j) <strong>In</strong>demnification:<br />
Under the funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the<br />
performance of their duties to the funds. <strong>In</strong> addition, in the normal course of business the funds enter into contracts with their<br />
vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown<br />
as this would involve future claims that may be made against the funds. However, based on experience, the funds expect the risk<br />
of loss to be remote.<br />
(k) New Accounting Pronouncements:<br />
<strong>In</strong> December 2011, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,”<br />
was issued and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The ASU enhances disclosure<br />
requirements with respect to an entity’s rights of offset and related arrangements associated with its financial and derivative<br />
instruments. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2011-11 may have on the funds’ financial<br />
statement disclosures.<br />
3. Risk Factors:<br />
<strong>In</strong>vesting in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds’ prospectus, including, but not limited to, those<br />
described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.<br />
Stock markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of the investment<br />
in a fund will fluctuate, which means that the investors could lose money.<br />
The funds are not actively managed. Therefore, a fund follows the securities included in an index during upturns as well as<br />
downturns. Because of their indexing strategies, the funds do not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of<br />
a declining market. <strong>In</strong> addition, because of a fund’s expenses, the fund’s performance is normally below that of the index.<br />
The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies,<br />
industries or the securities market as a whole. <strong>In</strong> addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices<br />
to fall over short or extended periods of time.<br />
Certain funds invest in large- and mid-cap stocks. Both large- and mid-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on<br />
market and economic conditions. However, stocks of mid-cap companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse business or<br />
economic events than larger more established companies. During a period when large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks fall behind other<br />
typesofinvestments—small-capstocks,forinstance—afund’slarge-andmid-capholdingscouldreduceperformance.<br />
Certain funds invest in small-cap stocks. Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks, and<br />
their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies may be more vulnerable<br />
to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall<br />
behind other types of investments — large-cap and mid-cap stocks, for instance — a fund’s small-cap holdings could reduce<br />
performance.<br />
75
Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational ETFs<br />
Financial Notes (continued)<br />
3. Risk Factors (continued):<br />
A fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with<br />
investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and<br />
other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency<br />
movements and exchanges); differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing<br />
securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in<br />
emerging markets. Foreign securities also include ADRs, GDRs, and EDRs, which are receipts issued by U.S. and foreign banks<br />
that represent shares of foreign-based corporations. <strong>In</strong>vestment in ADRs, GDRs and EDRs may be less liquid than the underlying<br />
shares in their primary trading market and GDRs, many of which are issued by companies in emerging markets, may be more<br />
volatile.<br />
Certain funds invest in emerging markets. Emerging markets may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes<br />
in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Emerging market countries often have less uniformity in<br />
accounting and reporting requirements and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. It is sometimes difficult to<br />
obtain and enforce court judgments in such countries, and there is often a greater potential for nationalization and/or<br />
expropriation of assets by the government of an emerging market country. <strong>In</strong> addition, the financial stability of issuers<br />
(including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will<br />
tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with a fund’s investments in emerging market countries, which may be<br />
magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.<br />
To the extent a fund uses statistical sampling techniques, the fund may not fully replicate the index and may hold securities not<br />
included in the index. As a result, a fund is subject to the risk that the adviser’s investment management strategy, the<br />
implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. If a fund uses a sampling<br />
approach it may not track the return of the index as well as it would if a fund purchased all of the securities in its benchmark<br />
index.<br />
As an index fund, each fund seeks to track the performance of its benchmark index, although it may not be successful in doing<br />
so. The divergence between the performance of a fund and its benchmark index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.”<br />
Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.<br />
Each fund may invest in derivative instruments. The principal types of derivatives a fund may use are futures contracts. A<br />
futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specific price on a specific day. A fund’s use of<br />
derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in<br />
securities and other traditional investments. Certain of these risks, such as market risk and liquidity risk, are discussed elsewhere<br />
in this section. A fund’s use of derivatives is also subject to leverage risk, credit risk, lack of availability risk, valuation risk,<br />
correlation risk and tax risk. Leverage risk is the risk that use of derivatives may magnify the effect of any decrease or increase in<br />
the value of the fund’s portfolio securities. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill<br />
its contractual obligations. Lack of availability risk is the risk that suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all<br />
circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Valuation risk is the risk that a particular derivative may be valued<br />
incorrectly. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying<br />
asset, rate or index. Tax risk is the risk that the use of derivatives may cause a fund to realize higher amounts of short-term<br />
capital gain. These risks could cause a fund to lose more than the principal amount invested.<br />
A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. A fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous<br />
time or price.<br />
Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to<br />
return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.<br />
To the extent that a fund’s or an index’s portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry,<br />
group of industries, sector or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be<br />
subject to increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences<br />
affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.<br />

3. Risk Factors (continued):<br />
Although fund shares are listed on national securities exchanges, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for<br />
fund shares will develop or be maintained. If an active market is not maintained, investors may find it difficult to buy or sell<br />
fund shares.<br />
Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of<br />
thesharesofafundwillapproximateafund’sNAV,theremaybetimeswhenthemarketpriceandtheNAVvarysignificantly.<br />
<strong>In</strong>vestors may pay more than NAV when they buy shares of a fund in the secondary market, and may receive less than NAV<br />
when they sell those shares in the secondary market.<br />
An investment in a fund is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit <strong>In</strong>surance Corporation<br />
(FDIC) or any other government agency.<br />
Please refer to the funds’ prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the funds.<br />
4. Affiliates and Affiliated Transactions:<br />
Charles Schwab <strong>In</strong>vestment Management, <strong>In</strong>c. (“CSIM” or the “investment adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles<br />
Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund’s investment adviser pursuant to an <strong>In</strong>vestment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory<br />
Agreement”) between CSIM and the trust.<br />
For its advisory services to the following funds, CSIM is entitled to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, based on a<br />
percentage of each fund’s average daily net assets as follows:<br />

The investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of the funds, excluding interest expenses, taxes, any brokerage expenses,<br />
and extraordinary or non-routine expenses.<br />
The funds may engage in certain transactions involving affiliates. For instance, a fund may own shares of The Charles Schwab<br />
Corporation if that company is included in its index. During the period ended August 31, 2012, there were no transactions<br />
involving affiliates.<br />
The funds may engage in direct transactions with certain other Schwab ETFs when practical. When one fund is seeking to sell a<br />
security that another is seeking to buy, an interfund transaction can allow both funds to benefit by reducing transaction costs.<br />
<strong>This</strong> practice is limited to funds that share the same investment adviser, trustees and/or officers. For the period ended August 31,<br />
2012, the funds had no direct security transactions with other Schwab ETFs.<br />
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with<br />
other Schwab Funds including Schwab ETFs. All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes only. The interest rate charged<br />
on the loan is the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. The interfund lending<br />
facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review of the Board of Trustees. The funds had no interfund borrowing or<br />
lending activity during the period.<br />
77
Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational ETFs<br />
Financial Notes (continued)<br />
5. Other Service Providers:<br />
SEI <strong>In</strong>vestments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”) is the principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the funds.<br />
State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as the funds’ transfer agent. As part of these services, the transfer<br />
agent maintains records pertaining to the sale, redemption and transfer of the funds’ shares.<br />
State Street also serves as custodian and accountant for the funds. The custodian is responsible for the daily safekeeping of<br />
securities and cash held or sold by the funds. The funds’ accountant maintains all books and records related to the funds’<br />
transactions.<br />
6. Board of Trustees:<br />
Trustees may include people who are officers and/or directors of the investment adviser or its affiliate. Federal securities law<br />
limits the percentage of such “interested persons” who may serve on a trust’s board, and the trust was in compliance with these<br />
limitations throughout the report period. The trust did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees.<br />
7. Borrowing from Banks:<br />
The funds have access to custodian overdraft facilities and to an uncommitted line of credit of $100 million with State Street.<br />
The funds pay interest on the amounts they borrow at rates that are negotiated periodically.<br />
There were no borrowings from the line of credit by the funds during the period. However, the funds may have utilized their<br />
overdraft facility and incurred interest expense, which is disclosed on the Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is<br />
determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.<br />
8. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of <strong>In</strong>vestment Securities:<br />
For the period ended August 31, 2012, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding in-kind transactions and shortterm<br />
obligations) were as follows:<br />

Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF 103,918,732 43,031,266<br />
9. <strong>In</strong>-Kind Transactions:<br />
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio<br />
of equity securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities involved in a relevant fund’s underlying<br />
index, and an amount of cash. <strong>In</strong>vestors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a<br />
redemption transaction fee directly to the applicable fund, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the<br />
issuance and redemption of Creation Units.<br />
The in-kind transactions for the period ended August 31, 2012 were as follows:<br />

Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which<br />
may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due<br />
primarily to differing treatment for items such as short-term capital gains and losses, in-kind transactions, capital losses related<br />
to wash sales and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in<br />

which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes. The funds<br />
may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.<br />
The permanent book and tax basis differences may result in reclassifications between components of net assets as required. The<br />
adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. As of August 31, 2012, the funds made the following<br />

As of August 31, 2012, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the<br />
date of filing and for state purposes, four years from the date of filing) as applicable to the funds, and has determined that no<br />
provision for income tax is required in the funds’ financial statements. The funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related<br />
to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2012,<br />
the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.<br />
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated <strong>In</strong>vestment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“the Act”) was signed by the President.<br />
The Act is the first major piece of legislation affecting Regulated <strong>In</strong>vestment Companies (“RICs”) since 1986 and it modernizes<br />
several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs.<br />
Certain of the enacted provisions include:<br />
Post-enactment capital losses may now be carried forward indefinitely, but must retain the character of the original loss.<br />
However, such losses must be utilized prior to the pre-enactment capital losses, which increases the likelihood that the preenactment<br />
capital losses will expire unused. Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for eight years, and<br />
carried forward as short-term capital loss, irrespective of the character of the original loss. The Act contains simplification<br />
provisions, which are aimed at preventing disqualification of a RIC for “inadvertent” failures of the asset diversification and/or<br />
qualifying income tests. Additionally, the Act exempts RICs from the preferential dividend rule, and repeals the 60-day<br />
designation requirement for certain types of pay-through income and gains.<br />
Finally, the Act contains several provisions aimed at preserving the character of distributions made by a fiscal year RIC during<br />
the portion of its taxable year ending after October 31 or December 31, reducing the circumstances under which a RIC might be<br />
required to file amended Forms 1099 to restate previously reported distributions.<br />
The funds have adopted the noted provisions of the Act for the period ending August 31, 2012.<br />

<strong>In</strong> our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the<br />
portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets<br />
and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of<br />
Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational Equity ETF, Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational Small-Cap Equity ETF and Schwab<br />
Emerging Markets Equity ETF (three of the funds constituting Schwab Strategic Trust,<br />
hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2012, and the results of their operations<br />
for the year then ended, changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period<br />
then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years or periods in the period<br />
then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United<br />
States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to<br />
as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility<br />
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We<br />
conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the<br />
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that<br />
we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial<br />
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,<br />
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the<br />
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating<br />
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included<br />
confirmation of securities at August 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and<br />
brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.<br />

The following charts are provided to show the frequency at which the daily market price on the NYSE Arca, <strong>In</strong>c. (“Exchange”),<br />
the secondary market for shares of each fund, was at a discount or premium to such fund’s daily NAV. The market price of each<br />
fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and lowest offer on the Exchange, as of the time that<br />
the fund’s NAV is calculated (referred to as the “Bid/Offer Midpoint”). Each fund’s Bid/Offer Midpoint may at times be at,<br />
above or below its NAV. The discount or premium is the percentage difference between the NAV and the Bid/Offer Midpoint of<br />

<strong>In</strong>vestment Advisory Agreement Approval<br />
The <strong>In</strong>vestment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)<br />
requires that initial approval of, as well as the continuation<br />
of, a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically<br />
approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of<br />
the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a<br />
majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment<br />
advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the<br />
“<strong>In</strong>dependent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called<br />
for the purpose of voting on such approval. <strong>In</strong> connection<br />
with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and<br />
evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish,<br />
such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate<br />
the terms of the investment advisory agreement.<br />
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”, as<br />
appropriate) calls and holds a meeting each year that is<br />
dedicated, in part, to considering whether to renew the<br />
investment advisory agreement between Schwab Strategic<br />
Trust (the “Trust”) and Charles Schwab <strong>In</strong>vestment Management,<br />
<strong>In</strong>c. (“CSIM”) (the “Agreement”) with respect to the<br />
existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational<br />
Equity ETF, Schwab <strong>In</strong>ternational Small-Cap Equity ETF<br />
and Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF (the “Funds”),<br />
and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which<br />
CSIM provides investment advisory services to certain other<br />
registered investment companies. <strong>In</strong> preparation for the<br />
meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of<br />
materials provided by CSIM, including information about<br />
CSIM’s affiliates, personnel and operations. The Board also<br />
receives extensive data provided by third parties. <strong>This</strong> information<br />
is in addition to the detailed information about the<br />
FundthattheBoardreviewsduringthecourseofeachyear,<br />
including information that relates to Fund operations and<br />
Fund performance. <strong>In</strong> addition, the <strong>In</strong>dependent Trustees<br />
meet in executive session outside the presence of fund<br />
management and participate in question and answer sessions<br />
with representatives of CSIM.<br />
The Board, including a majority of the <strong>In</strong>dependent Trustees,<br />
considered information specifically relating to its consideration<br />
of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to<br />
the Funds at a meeting held on August 28, 2012, and<br />
approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the<br />
Funds for an additional one year term. The Board’s approval<br />
of the Agreement with respect to the Funds was based on<br />
consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors<br />
discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:<br />
1. the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to<br />
the Funds under the Agreement, including the resources<br />
of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds;<br />
2. each Fund’s investment performance and how it<br />
compared to that of certain other comparable exchangetraded<br />
funds;<br />
84<br />
3. each Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared<br />
to those of certain other comparable exchange-traded<br />
funds;<br />
4. the profitability of CSIM and its affiliates, including<br />
Charles Schwab & Co., <strong>In</strong>c. (“Schwab”), with respect to<br />
the Funds, including both direct and indirect benefits<br />
accruing to CSIM and its affiliates; and<br />
5. the extent to which economies of scale would be realized<br />
as the Funds grow and whether fee levels in the Agreement<br />
reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of<br />
fund investors.<br />
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered<br />
the nature, extent and quality of the services provided<br />
by CSIM to the Funds and the resources of CSIM and its<br />
affiliates dedicated to the Funds. <strong>In</strong> this regard, the Trustees<br />
evaluated, among other things, CSIM’s personnel, experience,<br />
track record and compliance program. The Trustees<br />
also considered Schwab’s wide range of products, services,<br />
and channel alternatives such as free advice, investment<br />
research tools and <strong>In</strong>ternet access and an array of account<br />
features that benefit the Funds and their shareholders. The<br />
Trustees also considered Schwab’s excellent reputation as a<br />
full service brokerage firm and its overall financial condition.<br />
Finally, the Trustees considered that the vast majority of the<br />
Funds’ shareholders are also brokerage clients of Schwab.<br />
Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the<br />
context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and<br />
quality of services provided by CSIM to the Funds and the<br />
resources of CSIM and its affiliates dedicated to the funds<br />
supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the<br />
Funds.<br />
Fund Performance. The Board considered each Fund’s<br />
performance in determining whether to renew the Agreement<br />
with respect to the Fund. Specifically, the Trustees<br />
considered each Fund’s performance relative to a peer<br />
category of other exchange-traded funds and appropriate<br />
indices/benchmarks, in light of total return, yield, if applicable,<br />
and market trends. As part of this review, the Trustees<br />
considered the composition of the peer category, selection<br />
criteria and the reputation of the third party who prepared<br />
the peer category analysis. <strong>In</strong> evaluating the performance of<br />
the Funds, the Trustees considered both risk and shareholder<br />
risk expectations for such Fund and the appropriateness of<br />
the benchmark used to compare the performance of the<br />
Fund. The Trustees further considered the level of Fund<br />
performance in the context of its review of Fund expenses<br />
and adviser profitability discussed below. Following such<br />
evaluation the Board concluded, within the context of its full<br />
deliberations, that the performance of the Fund supported<br />
renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.
Fund Expenses. With respect to the Funds’ expenses, the<br />
Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by<br />
the Agreement, and each Fund’s operating expense ratio, in<br />
comparison to those of other comparable exchange-traded<br />
funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been<br />
selected and calculated by an independent third party. The<br />
Trustees also considered fees charged by CSIM to mutual<br />
funds that it manages. Following such evaluation, the Board<br />
concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that<br />
theexpensesoftheFundarereasonableandsupported<br />
renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.<br />
Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees<br />
considered the compensation flowing to CSIM and its affiliates,<br />
directly or indirectly. <strong>In</strong> this connection, the Trustees<br />
reviewed management’s profitability analyses. The Trustees<br />
also considered any other benefits derived by CSIM from its<br />
relationship with the Funds, such as whether, by virtue of its<br />
management of the Funds, CSIM obtains investment information<br />
or other research resources that aid it in providing<br />
advisory services to other clients. The Trustees considered<br />
whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability<br />
with respect to the Funds under the Agreement and other<br />
service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of<br />
the quality of all services rendered to the Funds by CSIM<br />
and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board<br />
concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that<br />
the profitability of CSIM is reasonable and supported<br />
renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.<br />
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence<br />
of any economies of scale and whether those are passed<br />
along to the Funds’ shareholders by way of the relatively low<br />
advisory fee and unitary fee structure of the Funds. Based on<br />
this evaluation, and in consideration of the previously negotiated<br />
commitments made by CSIM and Schwab as<br />
discussed above, the Board concluded, within the context of<br />
its full deliberations, that the Fund obtains reasonable benefit<br />
from economies of scale.<br />
<strong>In</strong> the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not<br />
identify any particular information or factor that was all<br />
important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation<br />
and their evaluation of the information described above, the<br />
Board, including all of the <strong>In</strong>dependent Trustees, approved<br />
the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Funds<br />
and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement<br />
withrespecttotheFundsisfairandreasonableinlightof<br />
such services and expenses and such other matters as the<br />
Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of<br />
their reasonable judgment.<br />
