From the President

![](g68548img13b0eb192.jpg)

**Jonathan de St. Paer** <br>President of Schwab Asset <br>Management and the funds <br> covered in this report.

Dear Shareholder,

Financial markets faced a tough environment in 2022, as both equity and fixed-income asset classes came under pressure due to rampant inflation, rising interest rates, and increasing geopolitical uncertainty. Focus shifted early in the year from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in late-February. Inflation, already ticking up at the start of the year, accelerated in the face of spiking commodity prices exacerbated by the war in Ukraine. Central banks, led by the U.S. Federal Reserve, aggressively hiked interest rates to slow economic growth and curb inflation. The U.S. federal funds rate increased from near zero in January and February to over 4% by December, the most rapid increase since the early 1980s. Inflation and rising interest rates slowed economic growth and raised the possibility of a recession, undermining stock prices. The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, a bellwether for the overall U.S. equities market, posted its largest calendar year drop since the 2008 recession, returning -18.1% for the year. Within the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, nine out of 11 sectors lost ground, with energy and utilities the only exceptions. At the same time, rising interest rates drove bond yields higher, broadly undermining security prices. (Bond yields and bond prices typically move in opposite directions.) The broad U.S. bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, suffered its steepest decline on record, returning -13.0% for the year.

Economic and political uncertainties may continue to roil financial markets over the short term particularly until inflation has been brought under control and the economy resumes an upward trajectory. At Schwab Asset Management, we believe maintaining a diversified, long-term investing plan that reflects your risk tolerance and long-term financial goals is important in the face of short-term uncertainty. The Schwab Monthly Income Funds can help you stick to your investment plan despite economic and market volatility, combining income-generating fixed-income investments with varying levels of equity exposure.

Effective September 12, 2022, Schwab Asset Management updated the funds' payout strategies and target payouts. We believe that these updates can provide higher yield potential and additional diversification for shareholders. With a choice of three strategies, including Income Payout, Flexible Payout, and Target Payout, investors can choose the monthly payout approach that best corresponds to their individual income preferences, while taking advantage of low management fees and built-in portfolio diversification across asset classes.

Thank you for investing with Schwab Asset Management, and for trusting us to help you achieve your financial goals. For more information about the Schwab Monthly Income Funds, please continue reading this report. In addition, you can find further details about these funds by visiting our website at www.schwabassetmanagement.com. We are also happy to hear from you at 1-877-824-5615.

The Investment Environment

------

For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022, several key U.S. stock indices posted their largest calendar year drop since the 2008 recession and the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index suffered its worst calendar year performance since its inception in 1976, with longer-term bonds underperforming shorter-term bonds. Inflation spiked, interest rates rose, and economic growth around the world slowed. The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the continuing, albeit uneven, fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic weighed on economies and markets around the world. Oil prices peaked at over $120 per barrel in early March as sanctions were imposed on Russian imports—and again in June on supply-and-demand imbalances—but retreated through most of the rest of the reporting period, ending it at just over $80 per barrel. The U.S. dollar strengthened against a basket of international currencies over the reporting period, generally decreasing the returns on overseas investments in U.S. dollar terms. For the reporting period, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, a bellwether for the overall U.S. stock market, returned -18.11%. The MSCI EAFE<sup>®</sup> Index (Net)\*, a broad measure of developed international equity performance, returned -14.45%. Emerging market equities were weaker, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net)\* returning -20.09%. Among U.S. and international bonds, the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index returned -13.01% and the FTSE non-US Dollar World Government Bond Index returned -22.07%.

As inflation continued to rise and U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy shifted, bond yields began to climb early in 2022, for the most part maintaining that trajectory through the first three quarters of the year, exerting downward pressure on bond prices. (Bond yields and bond prices typically move in opposite directions.) In the final quarter, longer-term yields became more volatile and prices rebounded slightly, leading to an inversion of certain parts of the yield curve. Over the reporting period, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury rose from 1.52% to 3.88%. Short-term rates also rose sharply, with the yield on the three-month U.S. Treasury climbing from 0.06% to 4.42% over the reporting period, ending the year just slightly off its one-year high.

The Investment Environment (continued)

------

In the United States, amid fading government stimuli, ongoing supply chain disruptions, persisting inflation, and a widening U.S. trade deficit, gross domestic product (GDP) contracted for the first two quarters of 2022, decreasing at an annualized rate of -1.6% and -0.6% for the first and second quarters, respectively. GDP grew at an annualized rate of 3.2% for the third quarter of 2022, driven primarily by energy exports and consumer spending. Inflation rose steadily in the first half of the year, hitting a 40-year high in June, before declining through the end of the reporting period as certain consumer and energy prices began to recede. The unemployment rate remained low despite inflationary pressures, ending the reporting period at pre-pandemic lows.

Outside the United States, conditions were similar. The eurozone, despite considerable headwinds, managed to maintain positive, albeit waning, GDP growth for the first, second, and third quarters of 2022 on easing COVID-19 restrictions and an increase in tourism in response to pent-up demand. The United Kingdom posted small gains in GDP growth for the first two quarters of 2022, in part driven by increases in COVID-19 testing and tracing and an expansion of its vaccination program but contracted slightly in the third quarter of 2022 on reduced household spending. Among emerging markets, China's GDP growth turned negative for the second quarter as it dealt with numerous headwinds including lockdowns and quarantines, declining domestic consumption, and a severe property downturn, but by the third quarter, GDP growth was again positive, buoyed by a series of policies and stimuli implemented to revive economic activity. India's GDP growth remained positive throughout the reporting period, and was particularly strong in the second quarter, but third-quarter GDP growth waned as high prices and rising interest rates weighed on demand.

Monetary policy around the world varied as central banks responded to the rapidly changing conditions. In the United States, after maintaining the federal funds rate in a range of 0.00% to 0.25% through mid-March 2022, the Fed shifted its stance as inflation continued to rise and indicators of economic activity and employment continued to strengthen. After issuing successively stronger signals that interest rates could begin to rise sooner in 2022 than previously anticipated, the Fed raised the federal funds rate seven times during the reporting period—by 0.25% in mid-March, 0.50% in early May, 0.75% in mid-June, 0.75% in late July, 0.75% in late September, 0.75% in early November, and 0.50% in mid-December. The federal funds rate ended the reporting period in a range of 4.25% to 4.50%. The Fed wrapped up its bond-buying program in March, and in June began to reduce the $9 trillion in assets held on its balance sheet, vowing to be even more aggressive than during its last round of quantitative tightening between 2017 and 2019. In developed international countries, central banks wrestled with similar issues. After holding its policy rate unchanged since March 2016, at 0.00%, the European Central Bank raised its interest rate four times over the reporting period in an effort to dampen demand and control inflation, which in October rose into double-digits. The Bank of England raised its key official bank rate eight times during the reporting period, bringing borrowing costs to a 14-year high as the Bank of England wrestled with soaring inflation. In contrast, the Bank of Japan continued to uphold its short-term interest rate target of -0.1%, unchanged since 2016, but in late December unexpectedly announced that it would widen the band around the yield target on its 10-year government bond, which pushed the yen higher and effectively marked the end of an extended period in which Japan was the only major developed country to resist raising rates. Monetary policy rates in emerging markets for the most part rose, with a few exceptions. Central banks in India, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, and Pakistan all raised their rates multiple times over the reporting period to counteract the impacts of inflation. In contrast, China cut its prime rate twice during the period, in part following a resurgence of COVID-19 cases and a lingering property downturn. Russia, which had raised its benchmark policy rate to 20% in late February amid the broadening fallout of Western sanctions in retaliation against Russia's invasion of Ukraine, subsequently reduced it multiple times by the end of the reporting period.

Schwab Monthly Income Fund – Target Payout as of December 31, 2022

------

**The Schwab Monthly Income Funds** (the funds) seek to provide current income and, as a secondary investment objective, capital appreciation. The funds have a fund-of-funds structure that involves holding equity, fixed-income, and money market funds selected from within the Schwab Funds and Schwab ETFs complex, but also may invest directly in equity and fixed-income securities, cash and cash equivalents (including money market securities), as well as unaffiliated mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to accomplish these objectives. Holdings are based on each fund's asset allocation, with returns reflecting the combined performance and respective weightings of the underlying investments.

**The Schwab Monthly Income Fund – Target Payout** (the fund) is designed to offer shareholders an annual payout of approximately 5%<sup>1</sup> during most market environments. However, the fund's actual annual payout could be higher or lower based on the market environment during that year. The fund uses the internally calculated Target Payout Composite Index (the composite index) as a performance gauge.

**Market Highlights.** For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022, several key U.S. stock indices posted their largest calendar year drop since the 2008 recession and the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index suffered its worst calendar year performance since its inception in 1976, with longer-term bonds underperforming shorter-term bonds. Inflation spiked, interest rates rose, and economic growth around the world slowed. The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the continuing, albeit uneven, fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic weighed on economies and markets around the world. Oil prices peaked at over $120 per barrel in early March as sanctions were imposed on Russian imports—and again in June on supply-and-demand imbalances—but retreated through most of the rest of the reporting period, ending it at just over $80 per barrel. The U.S. dollar strengthened against a basket of international currencies over the reporting period, generally decreasing the returns on overseas investments in U.S. dollar terms. As inflation continued to rise and U.S. Federal Reserve monetary policy shifted, bond yields began to climb early in 2022, for the most part maintaining that trajectory through the first three quarters of the year, exerting downward pressure on bond prices. (Bond yields and bond prices typically move in opposite directions.)

**Performance.** The fund's distribution yield (payout) was 3.08%<sup>2</sup> for the year ended December 31, 2022, generally in line with the investment adviser's expectations in a rising interest rate environment and given the updates to the fund's strategy that were effective September 12, 2022. For the 12-month reporting period, the fund's total return was -12.85%, while the composite index returned -13.08%.

**Positioning and Strategies.** Effective September 12, 2022, updates were made to the fund's investment strategy, including the managed payout policy, and new sub-asset classes and underlying funds were added for investment by the fund. Although the fund's allocations to equities and fixed income vary within certain established parameters, they were broadly aligned with those of the composite index.

The fund's fixed-income exposure was the largest detractor from the total return of the fund. The Schwab U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Fund was the largest detractor from the total return of the fund, returning approximately -13% for the reporting period and generally tracking its comparative index component. The Schwab Long-Term U.S. Treasury ETF, the Cohen & Steers Preferred Securities and Income Fund, the Schwab 5-10 Year Corporate Bond ETF, and the BlackRock High Yield Bond Portfolio were added to the fund in September 2022 as part of the updates to the fund's strategy and detracted from the total return of the fund. The T. Rowe Price Institutional Floating Rate Fund was also added in September 2022 and contributed slightly to the total return of the fund.

The fund's international equity exposure detracted from the total return of the fund. The Schwab International Opportunities Fund was removed from the fund in September 2022 as part of the updates to the fund's strategy and detracted from the total return of the fund, returning approximately -29% while held by the fund and underperforming its comparative index component. The Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF was added to the fund in September 2022 as part of the updates to the fund's strategy and contributed to the total return of the fund, returning approximately 3% while held by the fund, outperforming its comparative index component.

The fund's real estate exposure, the Schwab Global Real Estate Fund, detracted from the total return of the fund, returning approximately -25% for the reporting period and slightly underperforming its comparative index component.

The fund's U.S. equity exposure was the smallest detractor from the total return of the fund. The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF was added to the fund in September 2022 as part of the updates to the fund's strategy and was the largest contributor to the total return of the fund, returning approximately 3% while held by the fund and generally tracking its comparative index component. The Schwab Dividend Equity Fund was removed from the fund in September 2022 and detracted from the total return of the fund.

For more information about payouts, please see the fund's prospectus.

<sup>2</sup>

Distributions may exceed income available and may include capital gains or return of capital to help reach the annual payout rate. A return of capital is a distribution from the shareholder's investment principal, rather than net profits from the fund's returns. Shareholders who receive periodic distributions consisting of a return of capital may be under the impression that they are receiving net profits when they are not. Return of capital reduces your cost basis in the fund's shares and is not taxable to you until your cost basis has been reduced to zero. The tax-basis of distributions are finalized at fiscal year-end and may be recharacterized from income distributions to capital gains or return of capital.

Distributions may exceed income available and may include capital gains or return of capital to help reach the annual payout rate. A return of capital is a distribution from the shareholder's investment principal, rather than net profits from the fund's returns.

Return of capital reduces your cost basis in the fund's shares and is not taxable to you until your cost basis has been reduced to zero. The tax-basis of distributions are finalized at fiscal year-end and may be recharacterized from income distributions to capital gains or return of capital.

Schwab Monthly Income Fund – Flexible Payout as of December 31, 2022

------

**The Schwab Monthly Income Funds** (the funds) seek to provide current income and, as a secondary investment objective, capital appreciation. The funds have a fund-of-funds structure that involves holding equity, fixed-income, and money market funds selected from within the Schwab Funds and Schwab ETFs complex, but also may invest directly in equity and fixed-income securities, cash and cash equivalents (including money market securities), as well as unaffiliated mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to accomplish these objectives. Holdings are based on each fund's asset allocation, with returns reflecting the combined performance and respective weightings of the underlying investments.

**The Schwab Monthly Income Fund – Flexible Payout** (the fund) is designed to offer shareholders an annual payout of 4% to 6%<sup>1</sup> during most market environments. In addition, the fund seeks to maximize the annual payout while also maintaining or growing the level of investment over the long term. However, the fund's actual annual payout could be higher or lower based on the market environment during that year and other forward-looking factors. The fund uses the internally calculated Flexible Payout Composite Index (the composite index) as a performance gauge.

**Market Highlights.** For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022, several key U.S. stock indices posted their largest calendar year drop since the 2008 recession and the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index suffered its worst calendar year performance since its inception in 1976, with longer-term bonds underperforming shorter-term bonds. Inflation spiked, interest rates rose, and economic growth around the world slowed. The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the continuing, albeit uneven, fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic weighed on economies and markets around the world. Oil prices peaked at over $120 per barrel in early March as sanctions were imposed on Russian imports—and again in June on supply-and-demand imbalances—but retreated through most of the rest of the reporting period, ending it at just over $80 per barrel. The U.S. dollar strengthened against a basket of international currencies over the reporting period, generally decreasing the returns on overseas investments in U.S. dollar terms. As inflation continued to rise and U.S. Federal Reserve monetary policy shifted, bond yields began to climb early in 2022, for the most part maintaining that trajectory through the first three quarters of the year, exerting downward pressure on bond prices. (Bond yields and bond prices typically move in opposite directions.)

**Performance.** The fund's distribution yield (payout) was 2.96%<sup>2</sup> for the year ended December 31, 2022, generally in line with the investment adviser's expectations in a rising interest rate environment and given the updates to the fund's strategy that were effective September 12, 2022. For the 12-month reporting period, the fund's total return was -12.50%, with the composite index returning -12.64%.

**Positioning and Strategies.** Effective September 12, 2022, updates were made to the fund's investment strategy, including the managed payout policy, and new sub-asset classes and underlying funds were added for investment by the fund. Although the fund's allocations to equities and fixed income vary within certain established parameters, they were broadly aligned with those of the composite index.

The fund's fixed-income exposure was the largest detractor from the total return of the fund. The Schwab U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Fund was the largest detractor from the total return of the fund, returning approximately -13% for the reporting period and generally tracking its comparative index component. The Schwab Long-Term U.S. Treasury ETF, the Cohen & Steers Preferred Securities and Income Fund, the Schwab 5-10 Year Corporate Bond ETF, and the BlackRock High Yield Bond Portfolio were added to the fund in September 2022 as part of the updates to the fund's strategy and detracted from the total return of the fund. The T. Rowe Price Institutional Floating Rate Fund and Schwab 1-5 Year Corporate Bond ETF were also added in September 2022 and contributed slightly to the total return of the fund.

The fund's international equity exposure detracted from the total return of the fund. The Schwab International Opportunities Fund was removed from the fund in September 2022 as part of the updates to the fund's strategy and detracted from the total return of the fund, returning approximately -29% while held by the fund and underperforming its comparative index component. The Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF was added to the fund in September 2022 as part of the updates to the fund's strategy and contributed to the total return of the fund, returning approximately 3% while held by the fund, outperforming its comparative index component.

The fund's real estate exposure, the Schwab Global Real Estate Fund, detracted from the total return of the fund, returning approximately -25% for the reporting period and slightly underperforming its comparative index component.

The fund's U.S. equity exposure was the smallest detractor from the total return of the fund. The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF was added to the fund in September 2022 as part of the updates to the fund's strategy and was the largest contributor to the total return of the fund, returning approximately 3% while held by the fund and generally tracking its comparative index component. The Schwab Dividend Equity Fund was removed from the fund in September 2022 and detracted from the total return of the fund.

Holdings are based on each fund's asset allocation, with returns reflecting the combined performance and respective weightings of the underlying investments.

**The Schwab Monthly Income Fund – Income Payout** (the fund) is designed to offer shareholders an annual payout based on underlying fund yields and the market environment. The fund's anticipated annual payout is expected to be 0% to 3% during a low interest rate environment, 3% to 5% during a normal interest rate environment, and 5+% during a high interest rate environment.<sup>1</sup> However, the fund's actual annual payout could be higher or lower based on the interest rate environment and other market factors occurring during that year. The fund uses the internally calculated Income Payout Composite Index (the composite index) as a performance gauge.

Schwab Monthly Income Funds

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

**Examples for a $1,000 Investment**

As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including transfer agent fees and other fund expenses.

The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare this cost with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning July 1, 2022 and held through December 31, 2022.

**Actual Return** lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period."

**Hypothetical Return** lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed return of 5% per year before expenses. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.

You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical return lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Effective September 12, 2022, Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Moderate Payout changed its name to Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Target Payout, Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Enhanced Payout changed its name to Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Flexible Payout, and Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Maximum Payout changed its name to Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Income Payout.

The Schwab Monthly Income Funds are "fund of funds." Each of the funds seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a combination of Schwab Funds and Schwab Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and may also invest in other unaffiliated, third-party mutual funds (all such mutual funds and ETFs referred to as "underlying funds"), in accordance with its target portfolio allocation. Each fund may also invest directly in equity and fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents, including money market securities and ETFs.

Each fund in this report offers one share class. Shares are bought and sold at closing net asset value per share (NAV), which is the price for all outstanding shares of a fund. Each share has a par value of 1/1,000 of a cent, and the funds' Board of Trustees (the Board) may authorize the issuance of as many shares as necessary.

Each fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, each fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law.

<br>**2. Significant Accounting Policies:**

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the funds use in their preparation of financial statements. The funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification *Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies.* The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

**2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):** 

The financial statements of the funds should be read in conjunction with the underlying funds' financial statements. For more information about the underlying funds' operations and policies, please refer to those funds' semiannual and annual reports, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

**(a) Security Valuation:**

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated authority to a Valuation Designee, the funds' investment adviser, to make fair valuation determinations under adopted procedures, subject to Board oversight. The investment adviser has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities and to ensure that prices used for internal purposes or provided by third parties reasonably reflect fair value. The Valuation Designee may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.

Securities held in the funds' portfolio are valued every business day. The following valuation policies and procedures are used by the Valuation Designee to value various types of securities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter:** Traded securities are valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, at the mean of the most recent bid and ask quotes.

• **Mutual funds:** Mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Securities for which no quoted value is available:** The Valuation Designee has adopted procedures to fair value each fund's securities when market prices are not "readily available" or are unreliable. For example, a security may be fair valued when it's de-listed or its trading is halted or suspended; when a security's primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; or when a security's primary trading market is closed during regular market hours. Fair value determinations are made in good faith in accordance with adopted valuation procedures. The Valuation Designee considers a number of factors, including unobservable market inputs when arriving at fair value. The Valuation Designee may employ methods such as the review of related or comparable assets or liabilities, related market activities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, transactional back-testing, disposition analysis and other relevant information. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that a fund could obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs to valuation methods used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). If inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. If it is determined that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and the Valuation Designee's judgment will be required to estimate fair value.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equities and underlying funds. Underlying funds are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the underlying securities held.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) — Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain mortgage products, less liquid listed equities, and state, municipal and provincial obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Valuation Designee's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) — Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not readily available for these securities, one or more valuation methods are used for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used in estimating the value of Level 3 prices

**2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):** 

may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated in the absence of market information. Assumptions used due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore a fund's results of operations.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

As disclosed in the Portfolio Holdings, as of December 31, 2022, all of the funds' investments were classified as Level 1.

**(b) Security Transactions:** 

Security transactions are recorded as of the date the order to buy or sell the security is executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are based on the identified costs of the securities involved.

**(c) Investment Income:**

Interest income is recorded as it accrues. Dividends and distributions from portfolio securities and underlying funds are recorded on the date they are effective (the ex-dividend date). Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.

**(d) Expenses:**

Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to the fund. Expenses that are common to more than one fund in the trusts generally are allocated among those funds in proportion to their average daily net assets. Each fund bears its share of the acquired fund fees and expenses of the underlying funds, which are indirect expenses incurred by the fund through its investments in the underlying funds. Such expenses are reflected in the net asset values of the underlying funds.

**(e) Distributions to Shareholders:**

The funds make distributions from net investment income, if any, monthly and from net realized capital gains, if any, once a year. To receive a distribution, you must be a registered shareholder on the record date. Distributions are paid to shareholders on the payable date.

The amount of the distributions made by the Schwab Monthly Income Fund — Target Payout and the Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Flexible Payout may exceed the amount of the fund's net income and capital gains available for distribution. In that case, some or all of the distributions made by the Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Target Payout and the Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Flexible Payout may constitute a return of capital to shareholders. At the end of the year, the funds may be required under the applicable Internal Revenue Code to recharacterize distributions for the year among ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital (if any) for purposes of tax reporting to shareholders. Although it cannot be guaranteed, the Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Income Payout does not expect to make distributions that will be treated as return of capital. Shareholders who receive periodic distributions consisting of a return of capital may be under the impression that they are receiving net income when they are not. A return of capital is a distribution from the shareholder's investment principal, rather than net income from the fund's returns. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the fund is net income. For additional information see financial note 3, Risk Factors Managed Payout Risk and financial note 8, Federal Income Taxes.

**(f) Accounting Estimates:**

The accounting policies described in this report conform to GAAP. Notwithstanding this, shareholders should understand that in order to follow these principles, fund management has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the information reported in the financial statements. It's possible that once the results are known, they may turn out to be different from these estimates and these differences may be material.

**(g) Federal Income Taxes:**

The funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, the funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax.

**2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):** 

**(h) Indemnification:**

Under the funds' organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the funds. However, based on experience, the funds expect the risk of loss attributable to these arrangements to be remote.

**(i) Regulatory Update:** 

Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information deemed important for retail investors to assess and monitor their fund investments. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these rule and form amendment changes on the content of the current shareholder report and the newly created annual and semiannual streamlined shareholder reports.

<br>**3. Risk Factors:**

Investing in the funds may involve certain risks, as discussed in the funds' prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any of these risks could cause an investor to lose money.

**Asset Allocation Risk.** The funds are subject to the risk that the selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of a fund's assets among the various asset classes and market segments may cause a fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective. The funds are not managed to maximize tax efficiency for taxable shareholder accounts. Investors should consider whether the funds are an appropriate investment in light of their current financial position and retirement needs.

**Conflicts of Interest Risk.** The investment adviser's authority to select and substitute underlying funds from a variety of affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds and ETFs may create a conflict of interest because the fees paid to it and its affiliates by some underlying funds are higher than the fees paid by other underlying funds. The investment adviser also may have an incentive to select an affiliated underlying fund for other reasons, including to increase assets under management or to support new investment strategies. In addition, other conflicts of interest may exist where the best interests of the affiliated underlying fund may not be aligned with those of a fund. However, the investment adviser is a fiduciary to the fund and is legally obligated to act in the fund's best interests when selecting underlying funds.

**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.

**ETF Risk.** When a fund invests in an ETF, it will bear a proportionate share of the ETF's expenses. In addition, lack of liquidity in the market for an ETF's shares can result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities.

**Structural Risk.** The funds' monthly income payments will be made from fund assets and will reduce the amount of assets available for investment by the fund. Even if a fund's capital grows over time, such growth may be insufficient to enable the fund to maintain the amount of its targeted annual payout and targeted monthly income payments. A fund's investment losses may reduce the amount of future cash income payments an investor will receive from the fund. The dollar amount of a fund's monthly income payments could vary substantially from one year to the next and over time depending on several factors, including the performance of the financial markets in which the fund invests, the allocation of fund assets across different asset classes and investments, the performance of the fund's investment strategies, and the amount and timing of prior distributions by the fund. It is also possible for payments to go down substantially from one year to the next and over time depending on the timing of an investor's investments in the fund. Any redemptions will proportionately reduce the amount of future cash income payments to be received from the fund. There is no guarantee that the fund will make monthly income payments to its shareholders or, if made, that the fund's monthly income payments to shareholders will remain at a fixed amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**3. Risk Factors (continued):** 

**Managed Payout Risk.** Because Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Target Payout and Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Flexible Payout are expected to make monthly payments regardless of investment performance, the amount of each fund's distributions in respect of any period often will exceed the amount of that fund's income and gains for that period. In that case, some or all of the fund's distributions may constitute a return of capital to shareholders. It is possible for each fund to suffer substantial investment losses and simultaneously experience additional asset reductions as a result of its payments to shareholders under the managed payout policy. In addition, in order to make the payments called for under each fund's managed payout policy, the fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a time when it would not otherwise do so.

A return of capital distribution generally will not be taxable but will decrease the shareholder's cost basis in the shares of a fund and will result in a higher capital gain or lower capital loss when those shares on which the distribution was received are sold. Once a shareholder's cost basis is reduced to zero, further distributions will be treated as capital gain, if the shareholder holds shares of the fund as capital assets. A distribution constituting a return of capital is not a distribution of income or capital gains earned by the fund, and should not be confused with the fund's "yield" or "income."

**Direct Investment Risk.** The funds may invest directly in cash, cash equivalents and equity and fixed-income securities, including money market securities to maintain their allocations. A fund's direct investment in these securities is subject to the same or similar risks as an underlying fund's investment in the same securities.

**Portfolio Turnover Risk.** High portfolio turnover may result in a fund paying higher levels of transaction costs and may generate greater tax liabilities for shareholders. Portfolio turnover risk may cause a fund's performance to be less than expected.

**Underlying Fund Investment Risk.** Before investing in the funds, investors should assess the risks associated with the underlying funds in which a fund may invest, which include any combination of the risks described below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Investment Risk.** The funds may experience losses with respect to their investment in an underlying fund. Further, there is no guarantee that an underlying fund will be able to achieve its objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Management Risk.** Certain underlying funds are actively managed mutual funds. An underlying fund's adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results or cause the underlying fund to meet its objectives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **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, an underlying fund's performance could be impacted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Concentration Risk.** To the extent that an underlying fund's or the index's portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector, country or asset class, the underlying fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more vulnerable to adverse economic, market, political, or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector, country or asset class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Fixed-Income Risk.** Interest rates rise and fall over time, which will affect an underlying fund's yield and share price. A change in a central bank's monetary policy or economic conditions, among other things, may result in a change in interest rates. A rise in interest rates could cause an underlying fund's share price to fall. The credit quality of a portfolio investment could also cause an underlying fund's share price to fall. An underlying fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a portfolio investment or the counterparty to a derivatives contract fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Fixed-income securities may be paid off earlier or later than expected. Either situation could cause an underlying fund to hold securities paying lower-than-market rates of interest, which could hurt the fund's yield or share price. Below investment-grade bonds (junk bonds) involve greater credit risk, are more volatile, involve greater risk of price declines and may be more susceptible to economic downturns than investment-grade securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Foreign Investment Risk.** An underlying 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**3. Risk Factors (continued):** 

structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may negatively impact the value or liquidity of an underlying fund's investments, and could impair the underlying 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **High-Yield Risk.** An underlying fund's investments in high-yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (junk bonds) are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks, and may be more volatile than higher-rated securities. High-yield securities are considered predominately speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Floating Rate Loan Risk.** Transactions involving floating rate loans may have significantly longer settlement periods than more traditional bond investments (settlement can take longer than 7 days) and often involve borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or highly leveraged, which increases the risk that the underlying fund may not receive its proceeds in a timely manner and that the underlying fund may incur unexpected losses in order to pay redemption proceeds to its shareholders. In addition, loans are not registered or regulated under the federal securities laws like most stocks and bonds, so investors in loans have less protection against improper practices than investors in registered securities. While a loan assignment typically transfers all legal and economic rights to the buyer, a loan participation typically allows the seller to maintain legal title to the loan, meaning the buyer of a loan participation generally has no direct rights against the borrower and is exposed to credit risk of both the borrower and seller of the participation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Derivatives Risk.** An underlying 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. An underlying fund's use of derivatives could reduce the underlying fund's performance, increase volatility, and could cause the underlying 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 an underlying fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Leverage Risk.** Certain underlying fund transactions, such as derivatives transactions, short sales, reverse repurchase agreements, and mortgage dollar rolls, may give rise to a form of leverage and may expose an underlying fund to greater risk. Leverage tends to magnify the effect of any decrease or increase in the value of an underlying fund's portfolio securities, which means even a small amount of leverage can have a disproportionately large impact on the fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Money Market Fund Risk.** A fund may invest in underlying money market funds that either seek to maintain a stable $1.00 net asset value ("stable share price money market funds") or that have a share price that fluctuates ("variable share price money market funds"). Although an underlying stable share price money market fund seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in such a money market fund. Because the share price of an underlying variable share price money market fund will fluctuate, when a fund sells the shares it owns they may be worth more or less than what the fund originally paid for them. In addition, neither type of money market fund is designed to offer capital appreciation. Certain underlying money market funds may impose a fee upon the sale of shares or may temporarily suspend the ability to sell shares if such fund's liquidity falls below required minimums.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Tracking Error Risk.** Each underlying index fund seeks to track the performance of its respective index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of an underlying fund and its index, positive or negative, is called "tracking error." Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant. If an underlying fund utilizes a sampling approach, it may not track the return of the index as well as it would if the underlying fund purchased all of the securities in the index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Liquidity Risk.** An underlying fund may be unable to sell certain securities, such as illiquid securities, readily at a favorable time or price, or the underlying fund may have to sell them at a loss.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Securities Lending Risk.** Certain underlying funds engage in securities lending, which 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Real Estate Investment Risk.** An underlying fund in which the fund may invest may have a policy of concentrating its investments in real estate companies and companies related to the real estate industry. As such, an underlying fund is subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate securities and the fund's investment in such an underlying fund is subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate securities and an investment in the underlying fund will be

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**3. Risk Factors (continued):** 

closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. These risks include, among others, declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions;possible lack of availability of mortgage funds or other limits to accessing the credit or capital markets; defaults by borrowers or tenants, particularly during an economic downturn; and changes in interest rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Risk.** An underlying fund's investments in REITs will be subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, access to capital, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. REITs are also subject to certain additional risks, for example, REITs may have their investments in relatively few properties, a small geographic area or a single property type. In addition, REITs have their own expenses, and an underlying fund will bear a proportionate share of those expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Portfolio Turnover Risk.** Certain of the underlying funds may buy and sell portfolio securities actively. If they do, their portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs will rise, which may lower the underlying fund's performance and may increase the likelihood of capital gains distributions.

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:**

**Investment Adviser**

Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc., dba Schwab Asset Management, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, serves as each fund's investment adviser and administrator pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement between the investment adviser and the trust. The investment adviser does not receive a fee for the services it performs for the funds. However, the investment adviser is entitled to receive an annual management fee from each of the affiliated Schwab Funds and ETFs that serve as underlying funds.

**Shareholder Servicing**

The Board has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the Plan) on behalf of the funds. The Plan enables each fund to bear expenses relating to the provision by financial intermediaries, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., a broker-dealer affiliate of the investment adviser (together, service providers), of certain shareholder services to the current shareholders of the funds. The funds are not subject to any fees under the Plan.

**Expense Limitation**

The investment adviser and its affiliates have agreed with the funds, for so long as the investment adviser serves as the investment adviser to the funds, which may only be amended or terminated with the approval of the Board, to limit the total annual fund operating expenses charged, excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine expenses to 0.00%.

The agreement to limit the funds' total expenses charged is limited to each fund's direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to acquired fund fees and expenses, which are indirect expenses incurred by a fund through its investments in the underlying funds.

**Interfund Borrowing and Lending**

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex (for definition refer to the Trustees and Officers section). All loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the overnight repurchase agreement rate and the short-term bank loan rate. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds. The interfund lending facility is subject to the oversight and periodic review by the Board. The funds had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.

<br>**5. Board of Trustees:**

The Board may include people who are officers and/or directors of the investment adviser or its affiliates. Federal securities law limits the percentage of such "interested persons" who may serve on a trust's board, and the trust was in compliance with these limitations throughout the report period. The funds did not pay any of these interested persons for their services as trustees, but did pay non-interested persons (independent trustees), as noted on each fund's Statement of Operations. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

------

<br>**6. Borrowing from Banks:**

During the period, the funds were participants with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, syndicated, committed $850 million line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), which matured on September 29, 2022. On September 29, 2022, the Syndicated Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with the credit line amount increasing to $1 billion, maturing on September 28, 2023. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to the interest charged on any borrowings by a fund, each fund paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the funds' proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility.

During the period, the funds were participants with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $400 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street Bank and Trust Company, which matured on September 29, 2022. On September 29, 2022, the Uncommitted Credit Facility was amended to run for a new 364 day period with the line of credit amount remaining unchanged, maturing on September 28, 2023. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, each fund pays interest on the amount a fund borrows. There were no borrowings from either line of credit during the period.

The funds also have access to custodian overdraft facilities. A fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on each fund's Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, there were no return of capital distributions paid by any of the funds.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

------

To the Board of Trustees of Schwab Capital Trust and Shareholders of Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Target Payout (formerly Monthly Income Fund - Moderate Payout), Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Flexible Payout (formerly Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Enhanced Payout) and Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Income Payout (formerly the Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Maximum Payout)

***Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights***

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio holdings, of Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Target Payout, Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Flexible Payout, and Schwab Monthly Income Fund - Income Payout (the "Funds"), three of the funds constituting Schwab Capital Trust, as of December 31, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2022, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019 were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated February 18, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on such financial highlights.

***Basis for Opinion***

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the Schwab Funds Complex since 2020.

Liquidity Risk Management Program (unaudited)

------

The funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the "program") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The funds' Board of Trustees (the "Board") has designated the funds' investment adviser, Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc., dba Schwab Asset Management, as the administrator of the program. Personnel of the investment adviser or its affiliates conduct the day-to-day operation of the program.

Under the program, the investment adviser manages a fund's liquidity risk, which is the risk that the fund could not meet shareholder redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining shareholders' interests in the fund. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage a fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration the fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its historical redemption history and shareholder concentrations; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources, including the custodian overdraft facility and lines of credit. The investment adviser's process of determining the degree of liquidity of each fund's investments is supported by third-party liquidity assessment vendors.

The funds' Board reviewed a report at its meeting held on September 19, 2022 prepared by the investment adviser regarding the operation and effectiveness of the program for the period June 1, 2021, through May 31, 2022, which included individual fund liquidity risk metrics. No significant liquidity events impacting any of the funds were noted in the report. In addition, the investment adviser provided its assessment that the program had been operating effectively in managing each fund's liquidity risk.

**asset allocation** The practice of dividing a portfolio among different asset classes, with each asset class assigned a particular percentage.

**asset class** A group of securities with similar structure and basic characteristics. Stocks, bonds and cash are the three main examples of asset classes.

**Bloomberg US 1–5 Year Corporate Bond Index** An index that measures the performance of U.S. investment grade, taxable corporate bonds with maturities greater than or equal to one year and less than five years that have $300 million or more of outstanding face value. The securities in the index must be denominated in U.S. dollars and must be fixed-rate. The index includes securities publicly issued by U.S. and non-U.S. industrial, utility and financial issuers. The index excludes certain types of securities, including contingent capital securities, inflation-linked bonds, floating-rate issues, taxable and tax-exempt municipal securities, structured notes and pass-through certificates. The index is market capitalization weighted and the securities in the index are updated on the last business day of each month.

**Bloomberg US 5–10 Year Corporate Bond Index** An index that measures the performance of U.S. investment grade, taxable corporate bonds with maturities greater than or equal to five years and less than ten years that have $300 million or more of outstanding face value. The securities in the index must be denominated in U.S. dollars and must be fixed-rate. The index includes securities publicly issued by U.S. and non-U.S. industrial, utility and financial issuers. The index excludes certain types of securities, including contingent capital securities, inflation-linked bonds, floating-rate bonds, taxable and tax-exempt municipal securities, structured notes and pass-through certificates. The index is market capitalization weighted and the securities in the index are updated on the last business day of each month.

**Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index** An index that is a broad-based benchmark measuring the performance of the U.S. investment grade, taxable bond market, including U.S. Treasuries, government-related and corporate bonds, mortgage pass-through securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities that are publicly available for sale in the United States. To be eligible for inclusion in the index, securities must be fixed rate, non-convertible, U.S. dollar-denominated with at least $300 million or more of outstanding face value and have one or more years remaining to maturity. The index excludes certain types of securities, including tax-exempt state and local government series bonds, structured notes embedded with swaps or other special features, private placements, floating rate securities, inflation-linked bonds and Eurobonds. The index is market capitalization weighted and the securities in the index are updated on the last business day of each month.

**Bloomberg US Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index** An index that represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities.

**Bloomberg US Long Treasury Index** An index that includes all publicly issued, U.S. Treasury securities that have a remaining maturity of ten or more years, are rated investment grade, and have $300 million or more of outstanding face value. The securities in the index must be denominated in U.S. dollars and must be fixed-rate and non-convertible. The index excludes U.S. Treasury stripped securities. The index is market capitalization weighted and the securities in the index are updated on the last business day of each month.

**Bloomberg US Treasury Bills 1–3 Month Index** An index that includes all publicly issued zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Bills that have a remaining maturity of less than 3 months but more than 1 month, are rated investment grade and have $300 million or more of outstanding face value. It excludes zero-coupon STRIPS.

**bond** A security representing a loan from the investor to the issuer. A bond typically pays interest at a fixed rate (the coupon rate) until a specified date (the maturity date), at which time the issuer returns the money borrowed (principal or face value) to the bondholder. Because of their structure, bonds are sometimes called "fixed-income securities" or "debt securities."

An individual bond is subject to the credit risk of the issuer. Changes in interest rates can affect a bond's market value prior to call or maturity. There is no guarantee that a bond's yield to call or maturity will provide a positive return over the rate of inflation.

**bond fund** A bond fund is subject to the same credit, interest rate, and inflation risks as bonds. In addition, a bond fund incurs ongoing fees and expenses. A bond fund's net asset value will fluctuate with the price of the underlying bonds and the portfolio turnover activity; return of principal is not guaranteed.

**cap, capitalization** See "market cap."

**capital gain, capital loss** The difference between the amount paid for an investment and its value at a later time. If the investment has been sold, the capital gain or loss is considered a realized gain or loss. If the investment is still held, the gain or loss is still "on paper" and is considered unrealized.

**Dow Jones International Dividend 100 Index (Net)** An index that is designed to measure the performance of high dividend yielding stocks issued by companies in developed and emerging countries outside of the United States that have a record of consistently paying dividends, selected for fundamental strength based on financial ratios and lower volatility. The 100-component index is derived from the constituents of the Dow Jones Global ex-U.S. Large-Cap Index and the Dow Jones Global ex-U.S. Mid-Cap Index, and excludes real estate investment trusts (REITs). It is modified market capitalization weighted. The Net version of the index reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes, but reflects no deductions for expenses or other taxes.

**Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index** An index that is designed to measure the performance of high dividend yielding stocks issued by U.S. companies that have a record of consistently paying dividends, selected for fundamental strength relative to their peers, based on financial ratios. The 100-component index is a subset of the Dow Jones U.S. Broad Market Index, which includes the 2,500 largest U.S. stocks based on full market capitalization and excludes real estate investment trusts (REITs). It is modified market capitalization weighted.

**expense ratio** The amount that is taken from a mutual fund's assets each year to cover the fund's operating expenses. An expense ratio of 0.50% means that a fund's expenses amount to half of one percent of its average net assets a year.

**Flexible Payout Composite Index** Effective September 12, 2022, the Enhanced Payout Composite Index changed its name to Flexible Payout Composite Index. The Flexible Payout Composite Index is a custom blended index developed by Schwab Asset Management based on a comparable portfolio asset allocation.

Schwab Monthly Income Funds

**total return** The percentage that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the fund assuming dividends and distributions were reinvested.

**12-Month Distribution Yield** reflects the fund's monthly income distributions for the last 12 months divided by the fund's Net Asset Value as of the end of the reporting period. Distributions may exceed income available and may include capital gains or return of capital to help reach the annual payout rate. A return of capital is a distribution from the shareholder's investment principal, rather than net profits from the fund's returns. Shareholders who receive periodic distributions consisting of a return of capital may be under the impression that they are receiving net profits when they are not. Return

of capital reduces your cost basis in the fund's shares and is not taxable to you until your cost basis has been reduced to zero. The tax-basis of distributions are finalized at fiscal year-end and may be recharacterized from income distributions to capital gains or return of capital.

**weighted average** For mutual funds, an average that gives the same weight to each security as the security represents in the fund's portfolio.

**yield** The income paid out by an investment, expressed as a percentage of the investment's market value.

The Code is not exhaustive; it provides guidance for carrying out your responsibilities on behalf of the Funds and observing the highest standards of ethical conduct. Because the Code does not address every possible situation that may arise, you are responsible for exercising good judgment, applying ethical principles, and raising questions when in doubt. Your integrity and good judgment reflect on the Funds' brand and reputation, and are the foundation of trust for our shareholder and business relationships.

If you are unsure of what to do in any situation or how to interpret the provisions of the Code, seek guidance before you act. Use the Funds' resources, including the Chief Legal Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer. If you feel that it is not appropriate to discuss a matter with the Chief Legal Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer, you may contact the Ombudsperson for The Charles Schwab Corporation.

**III. POLICIES** 

In executing your responsibilities on behalf of the Funds, your conduct should reflect positively on the Funds. A strong personal sense of ethics should always play a significant role in guiding you towards a proper course of action. The appearance of impropriety can be as harmful to the Funds' reputation as improper conduct.

| **F.II.1.B.** | **CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS** |

---

The Funds' business is subject to various laws, rules and regulations, including federal securities and state and local laws. Although you are not expected to know the details of the myriad of laws governing our business, you are expected to be familiar with and comply with policies and procedures that apply to your business unit and complete any required training that applies to you

(e.g., training regarding privacy or anti-money laundering).

A. PERSONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

It is important that you do not place yourself in a position that would cloud your judgment in carrying out the business affairs of the Funds. A "personal conflict of interest" occurs when your private interest interferes in any way — or even appears to interfere — with the interests of the Funds. You have a duty to report any material transaction or relationship to the Chief Compliance Officer that reasonably could be expected to be or to create a conflict of interest with the Funds.

Officers, in addition to their obligation to the Funds, may also be an officer or employee of CSIM or a CSIM affiliate. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Funds, for CSIM, for CSIM's affiliate or for more than one entity), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on CSIM, CSIM's affiliates and the Funds. The participation of the Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Funds and CSIM and is consistent with the performance by the Officers of their duties as officers of the Funds. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"), such activities will be deemed under the Code to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Trustees that the Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

B. INSIDE INFORMATION

Do not trade on inside information or disclose inside information to anyone except those who have a need to know it in order to fulfill their responsibilities for the Funds and in accordance with the Funds' policy. This applies to information regarding the Funds, The Charles Schwab Corporation and its subsidiaries, and any other publicly traded company.

Generally, material information is any information that an investor would likely consider important in deciding whether to buy, sell or hold securities or that could affect the market price of the securities. Examples include actual or estimated financial results or change in dividends; significant discoveries or product developments; possible mergers, acquisitions or divestitures; major changes in business strategies; obtaining or losing significant contracts; and threatened major litigation or related developments. If you have or receive information and are unsure whether it is within the definition of inside information or whether its release might be contrary to a fiduciary or other obligation, contact the Chief Compliance Officer prior to disclosing any such information.

You must not use the Funds' non-public holdings or transactions information in any way to influence your trades or the trades of other shareholders, including those of other employees, officers and directors. Trading ahead of shareholder or the Funds' transactions (frontrunning) and following shareholder or the Funds' transactions (piggybacking or shadowing) is prohibited.

C. ACCEPTANCE OF GIFTS OR ENTERTAINMENT

You must not accept gifts or entertainment from shareholders, vendors, suppliers, competitors or other employees where they present a conflict of interest or create the appearance of impropriety.

|:---|:---|
| **The information contained herein is the property of Charles Schwab and may not be copied, used or disclosed in whole or in part, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means (electronic, mechanical, reprographic, recording, or otherwise) outside of Charles Schwab without prior permission of the Mutual Fund's Chief Compliance Officer or his/her designee.** | 2.0 |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **F.II.1.B.** | **CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS** |

---

You must adhere to the CSIM and The Charles Schwab Corporation policies regarding gifts and entertainment, and apply the more stringent restrictions. In addition, if you are an employee of another CSIM affiliate you must also adhere to that affiliate's policies regarding gifts and entertainment, and apply the more stringent restrictions.

D. CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION AND PRIVACY

Information concerning the identity of the Funds' underlying shareholders and their transactions and accounts is confidential. Such information may not be disclosed to persons working on behalf of the Funds except as they may need to know it in order to fulfill their responsibilities to the Funds. You may not disclose such information to anyone or any firm outside the Funds unless (i) the outside firm needs to know the information in order to perform services for the Funds and is bound to maintain its confidentiality; (ii) when the shareholder has consented or been given an opportunity to request that the information not be shared; (iii) as required by law; or (iv) as authorized by the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Compliance Officer.

The Funds are committed to safeguarding their customers' privacy. We do not sell any personally identifiable customer information. Sharing of such information with third parties is limited to situations related to the processing and servicing of customer accounts, and to specifically delineated exceptions in the federal privacy law. We share information with our affiliates to the extent permitted by federal law. You must be familiar with the procedural and systemic safeguards we maintain to protect this information.

You have the responsibility to safeguard the Funds' proprietary information. Proprietary information includes intellectual property (copyrights, trademarks or patents or trade secrets), particular know-how (business or organizational designs, or business, marketing or service plans or ideas) and sensitive information about the Funds (databases, records, salary information or unpublished financial reports).

E. PROTECTION AND USE OF FUNDS' ASSETS

You are obligated to protect the Funds' assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Funds. The Funds' equipment should not be used for non-Funds' business, though incidental personal use may be permitted.

F. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

The Funds are committed to providing full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Funds file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory agencies and in other public communications made by the Funds. You are required to comply with the Funds' policies and procedures to provide such full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure.

G. CONDUCT OF AUDITS

Neither you nor any other person acting under your direction shall directly or indirectly take any action to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate, or mislead any independent public or certified public accountant engaged in the performance of an audit or review of the Funds' financial statements.

Types of conduct that constitute improper influence include, but are not limited to, directly or indirectly:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Offering or paying bribes or other financial incentives, including offering future employment or contracts for non-audit services

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Providing an auditor with inaccurate or misleading legal analysis

| **F.II.1.B.** | **CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS** |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Threatening to cancel or canceling existing non-audit or audit
engagements if the auditor objects to the issuer's accounting

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Seeking to have a partner removed from the audit engagement because the partner objects to the Funds'
accounting

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Blackmailing

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Making physical threats

H. RECORDKEEPING

You must be familiar with the Funds' record retention policies and always retain or destroy records according to them. In the event of litigation, governmental investigation or the threat of such action, you should consult the Chief Legal Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer regarding record retention.

The Funds' books, records and accounts must conform both to applicable legal requirements and to the Funds' internal controls and policies.

Unrecorded or "off-the-books" funds or assets are prohibited unless permitted by applicable law or regulation. Business records must not contain exaggeration, derogatory remarks, guesswork, or inappropriate characterizations of people and companies. This applies equally to email, internal memoranda, formal reports, and all other forms of business records.

I. SALES PRACTICES

If you transact business for shareholders, you are required to know and observe the Funds' specific policies and procedures for shareholder sales and transactions, such as the content and use of sales materials, documentation for transactions, quotations and suitability. Likewise, if you transact business with third parties (such as vendors or suppliers), you will be required to know and observe the Funds' policies and procedures for such transactions, such as marketing policies, procedures for performing due diligence on third parties, and obtaining proper authorizations for any agreements. You must be familiar with any enumerated policies and procedures governing your sales activities and use good judgment in complying with them.

J. COMPETITION AND FAIR DEALING

We operate our business fairly and honestly. We seek competitive advantage through performance and never through unethical or illegal business practices. It is our policy to comply with anti-trust laws. These laws are complex and not easily summarized, but at a minimum require that there be no agreement or understanding between the Funds and their competitors that affect prices, terms or conditions of sale or that unreasonably restrain full and fair competition. You must always respect the rights of and deal fairly with the Funds' shareholders and competitors. You must never take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair dealing practice.

K. PROHIBITION OF BRIBERY AND KICKBACKS

Our policies prohibit bribery or kickbacks of any kind and to anyone in the conduct of our business. The U.S. government has a number of laws and regulations applicable specifically to business gratuities that may be offered to or accepted by U.S. and foreign government personnel. The promise, offer or delivery to an official or employee of the U.S. government or an official, employee or candidate of a foreign government of a gift, favor, payment or other gratuity in violation of these rules would not only violate the Funds' policy but could also be a criminal offense. Similarly, federal law, as well as the laws of many states, prohibits engaging in "commercial bribery." Commercial bribery involves soliciting, demanding or agreeing to accept anything of value from any person intending to influence or be rewarded in connection with any business or transaction, and prohibits all such behavior, for example, with respect to vendors, competitors, shareholders, and government employees.

L. WAIVERS

Waivers of the Code may be made only by the Trustees, and will be promptly disclosed publicly as required by law.

M. CODE AMENDMENTS

This Code may not be amended except in written form, which is specifically approved or ratified by a majority of the Trustees including a majority of the independent Trustees. Any amendments will, to the extent required, be disclosed in accordance with law.

N. CONFIDENTIALITY

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Trustees, CSIM, The Charles Schwab Corporation and their respective counsel. However, nothing contained in this Code or in any applicable employment or severance agreement(s) should be interpreted as prohibiting employees or former employees from voluntarily communicating with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other authorities regarding possible violations of law or from recovering a whistleblower award.

**IV. ESCALATION AND PROHIBITION AGAINST RETALIATION** 

If you know of, or reasonably believe there is, a violation of this Code, you must report that information immediately to the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer. Depending on the possible violation, you may also be required to report it pursuant to The Charles Schwab Corporation Code of Business Conduct and CSIM and/or CSIM's affiliate's compliance policies and procedures. You should not conduct preliminary investigations unless authorized to do so by the Compliance Department.

No Officer will be retaliated against for making a good faith complaint or for bringing inappropriate conduct to the attention of the Funds' personnel, Ombudsperson of The Charles Schwab Corporation or Trustees, for assisting another employee or applicant in making a good faith report, for cooperating in an investigation, or for filing an administrative claim with a state or federal governmental agency. Any Officer who in good faith raises an issue regarding a possible violation of law, regulation or company policy or any suspected illegal or unethical behavior will be protected from retaliation.

If you have violated the Code, however, making a report will not protect you from the consequences of your actions. You can be subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment if you violate the Code or fail to report violations that come to your attention.

Any employee who engages in retaliatory conduct in violation of our policies will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. If you reasonably believe retaliatory conduct has occurred, you must report such conduct to the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer.

**V. PROCEDURES**

**VI. REGULATORY AUTHORITY** 

This Code constitutes the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds, CSIM, CSIM's affiliates, The Charles Schwab Corporation or other Fund service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of an Officer who is subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they conflict with the provisions of this Code. CSIM's, the Funds' and Charles Schwab & Co. Inc.'s (as distributor) joint code of ethics under Rule 17j-1 pursuant to the 1940 Act and Rule 204A-1 of the Advisers Act, and CSIM's, CSIM's affiliates', and The Charles Schwab Corporation's policies and procedures set forth in their respective compliance manuals and elsewhere are separate requirements applying to the Officers and are not part of this Code.
