Performance at a Glance<br />

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. <strong>In</strong>vestment<br />

return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be<br />

worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. To<br />

All fund and index figures on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. <strong>In</strong>dex figures do not include trading and<br />

management costs, which would lower performance. <strong>In</strong>dices are unmanaged, and you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less<br />

than one year are not annualized. Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on<br />

the redemption of fund shares.<br />

<strong>In</strong>vestment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or<br />

less than their original cost. Unlike mutual funds, shares of ETFs are not individually redeemable directly with the ETF. Shares are bought and<br />

sold at market price (not NAV). Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.<br />

<strong>In</strong>dex ownership — “FTSE˛” is a trademark jointly owned by the London Stock Exchange plc and The Financial Times Limited and is used by<br />

FTSE <strong>In</strong>ternational Limited (“FTSE”) under license. FTSE does not sponsor, endorse or promote Schwab ETFs and does not accept any liability<br />

in relation to their issue, operation and trading.<br />

* Total return for the report period presented in the table differs from the return in the Financial Highlights. The total return presented in the<br />

above table is calculated based on the NAV at which shareholder transactions were processed. The total return presented in the Financial<br />

Highlights section of the report is calculated in the same manner, but also takes into account certain adjustments that are necessary under<br />

generally accepted accounting principles required in the annual and semiannual reports.<br />

The fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets<br />

(including the market value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is<br />

based on the NAV of the fund, and the Market Price Return is based on the market price per share of the fund. The price used to calculate<br />

market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock<br />

exchange on which the shares of the fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. Market Price and NAV<br />

returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.<br />
