Investment Goal and Strategy
Seeks to track the total return of the S&P 500® Index by investing in leading U.S. publicly traded companies from a broad range of industries.

Schwab and the investment adviser have agreed to limit the fund's "net operating expenses" as stated in the prospectus for each fund, for so long as the investment adviser serves as the adviser to the fund. This agreement may only be amended or terminated with the approval of the fund's Board of Trustees. The limitation excludes interest, taxes, expenses for dividends and interest paid on securities sold short, and certain non-routine expenses, which may result in a fund incurring net operating expenses above the limitation.
