Investors should consider carefully information contained in the prospectus, including investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. You can view, download and print a prospectus by clicking on Prospectuses & Reports. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing. Investment value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost.

There are risks associated with investing in foreign markets, such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability, and fluctuations in currency and exchange rates. Risks of the REITs are similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, such as changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rates, cash flow of underlying real estate assets, supply and demand, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. Diversification strategies do not ensure a profit and do not protect against losses in declining markets.

1. Schwab and the investment adviser have agreed to limit the fund’s ‘‘net operating expenses’’ (excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine expenses) of the Investor Shares and Select Shares to 1.20% and 1.05%, respectively, through 06/30/09.
