You can find the fund's prospectus, Statement of Additional Information (SAI), reports to shareholders and other information about the fund online at **www.schwabassetmanagement.com/schwabfunds_prospectus**. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling

The fund's prospectus and SAI, both dated February 27, 2023, include a more detailed discussion of fund investment policies and the risks associated with various fund investments. The prospectus and SAI are incorporated by reference into the summary prospectus, making them legally a part of the summary prospectus.

#### Investment Objective
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

#### Fund Fees and Expenses
 **This table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and Example below.** 

**Shareholder Fees** (fees paid directly from your investment) <br>

The information in the table has been restated to reflect current fees and expenses.

#### Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those time periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund's operating expenses remain the same. The figures are based on total annual fund operating expenses after any expense reduction. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

| **1 Year**  | **3 Years**  | **5 Years**  | **10 Years**  |

#### Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 81% of the average value of its portfolio.

#### Principal Investment Strategies
To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests a substantial amount of its assets in equity securities of companies outside the United States. The fund expects to invest in companies across all market capitalization ranges. The fund typically focuses on developed markets, but may invest in companies from emerging markets as well. In determining whether a company is international, the portfolio managers will consider various factors, including where the company is headquartered, where the company's principal operations are located, where the company's revenues are derived, where the principal trading market is located and the country in which the company was legally organized. The weight given to each of these factors will vary depending on the circumstances in a given case.

Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc., dba Schwab Asset Management, manages a portion of the fund by primarily investing in stocks that are included in the FTSE Developed ex US Quality

Schwab International Opportunities Fund \| Summary Prospectus1

REG54284-38 00282609

------

Factor Index<sup>†</sup>. The index is comprised of securities within the FTSE Developed ex US Index and is designed to reflect the performance of the Quality equity risk premia factor. The index applies a consistent and transparent methodology to select and weight constituents by applying the Quality factor together with industry and country constraints to the market capitalization weight of index constituents. Because it may not be possible or practical to purchase all of the stocks included in the index, Schwab Asset Management seeks to track the total return of the index by using sampling techniques. These techniques involve investing in a limited number of index securities which, when taken together, are expected to perform similarly to the index as a whole. These techniques are based on a variety of factors, including capitalization, performance attributes, dividend yield, price/earnings ratio, risk factors, industry factors and other characteristics.

Schwab Asset Management can allocate a portion of the fund to particular market sectors, such as emerging markets, utilizing securities, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and/or other registered investment companies. Schwab Asset Management also manages the cash portion of the fund and may also directly manage additional portions of the fund during transitions between investment managers.

Schwab Asset Management allocates portions of the fund's assets to other investment managers, who then manage their respective portions under the general supervision of Schwab Asset Management. In choosing the investment managers and their allocations, Schwab Asset Management considers a number of factors, including global economic trends, its own outlook for a given market capitalization or investment style category and regions and countries that offer the greatest potential for growth, and the investment managers' performance in various market conditions.

Each investment manager uses its own securities selection process and has discretion to select portfolio securities for its allocation of the fund's assets. At the same time, each investment manager invests within a specific market capitalization range and investment style under the general supervision of Schwab Asset Management. Schwab Asset Management has developed parameters for each investment manager based on Schwab Asset Management's assessment of the investment manager's investment style and expertise. By assigning more specific parameters to each investment manager, Schwab Asset Management attempts to capitalize on the strengths of each investment manager and to combine their investment activities in a complementary fashion.

Schwab Asset Management may use derivatives, primarily futures contracts, to seek returns on the fund's otherwise uninvested cash assets. In addition, the investment managers may use futures contracts as a substitute for investing directly in an underlying asset or to increase returns. The fund may invest in forward foreign currency contracts to hedge currency risks associated with the purchase of individual securities denominated in a particular currency.

The fund may buy and sell portfolio securities actively. In addition, one investment manager may purchase portfolio securities at the same time that another investment manager sells the same securities. As a result, the fund's portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs may rise, which may lower fund performance and increase the likelihood of capital gains distributions.

For temporary defensive purposes during unusual economic or market conditions or for liquidity purposes, the fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash, money market instruments, repurchase agreements and other short-term obligations. When the fund engages in such activities, it may not achieve its investment objective. The fund also may lend portfolio securities to earn additional income. Any income realized through securities lending may help fund performance.

#### Principal Risks
The fund is subject to risks, any of which could cause an investor to lose money. The fund's principal risks include:

**Market Risk.** Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets may be impacted by economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, including economic sanctions and other government actions. In addition, the occurrence of global events, such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters and epidemics, may also negatively affect the financial markets. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.

**Investment Style Risk.** Schwab Asset Management may attempt to reduce the impact of the performance of any given investment style by allocating to investment managers who invest in both value and growth style stocks. But whenever value stocks fall out of favor with investors, they may underperform growth stocks, and vice versa.

The portion of the fund that is invested in accordance with a particular index follows the securities included in that index during upturns as well as downturns. The fund does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market with respect to this portion. In addition, because of the fund's expenses, the fund's performance with respect to this portion may be below that of the index. Errors relating to the index may occur from time to time and may not be identified by the index provider for a period of time. In addition, market disruptions could cause delays in the index's rebalancing schedule. Such errors and/or market disruptions may result in losses for the fund.

**Multi-Manager Risk.** Schwab Asset Management and each investment manager makes investment decisions independently, and it is possible that the investment styles of Schwab Asset Management and the investment managers may not complement

one another. As a result, the fund's exposure to a given stock, industry or investment style could unintentionally be smaller or larger than if the fund had a single manager.

**Management Risk.** The portion of the fund that is actively managed is subject to the risk that its investment adviser and investment managers will select investments or allocate assets in a manner that could cause the fund to underperform or otherwise not meet its investment objective. Poor stock selection or a focus on securities in a particular sector may cause the fund to underperform its benchmark or other funds with a similar investment objective.

**Equity Risk.** The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.

**Market Capitalization Risk.** Securities issued by companies of different market capitalizations tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. During a period when securities of a particular market capitalization fall behind other types of investments, the fund's performance could be impacted.

**Large-Cap Company Risk.** Large-cap companies are generally more mature and the securities issued by these companies may not be able to reach the same levels of growth as the securities issued by small- or mid-cap companies.

**Mid-Cap Company Risk.** Mid-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies and the value of securities issued by these companies may move sharply.

**Small-Cap Company Risk.** Securities issued by small-cap companies may be riskier than those issued by larger companies, and their prices may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns.

**Foreign Investment Risk.** The fund's investments in securities of foreign issuers involve certain risks that may be greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may negatively impact the value or liquidity of the fund's investments, and could impair the fund's ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. There is a risk that investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged, resulting in the dollar value of the fund's investment being adversely affected. Foreign securities may also include investments

**Emerging Markets Risk.** Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Emerging market countries often have less uniformity in accounting, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping requirements and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in developed countries. As a result, there may be an increased risk of illiquidity and price volatility associated with the fund's investments in emerging market countries, which may be magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, and, at times, it may be difficult to value such investments.

**Sampling Index Tracking Risk.** The portion of the fund that is invested in accordance with a particular index may not fully replicate the index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, the fund is subject to the risk that Schwab Asset Management's investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Because Schwab Asset Management utilizes a sampling approach the portion of the fund it manages may not track the return of the index as well as it would if the fund purchased all of the securities in the index.

**Derivatives Risk.** The fund's use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. The fund's use of derivatives could reduce the fund's performance, increase its volatility and cause the fund to lose more than the initial amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately large impact on the fund.

**Liquidity Risk.** The fund may be unable to sell certain securities, such as illiquid securities, readily at a favorable time or price, or the fund may have to sell them at a loss.

**Securities Lending Risk.** Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in, or delay in recovery of, the loaned securities if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.

The net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes.

The after-tax figures reflect the highest individual federal income tax rates in effect during the period and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Your actual after-tax returns depend on your individual tax situation. In addition, after-tax returns are not relevant if you hold your fund shares through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, an individual retirement account (IRA) or other tax-advantaged account. In some cases, the return after taxes on distributions and sale of shares may exceed the fund's other returns due to an assumed benefit from any losses on a sale of shares at the end of the measurement period.

#### Payments to Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
