Performance Details	page 4

All total returns on this page assume dividends and distributions were reinvested. Index figures do not include trading and management costs, which would lower performance. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be invested in directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized.

For index definitions, please see the Glossary.

Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares.

Shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than the net asset value (NAV). Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

Fixed-income securities are subject to increased loss of principal during periods of rising interest rates. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.

ETF performance must be shown based on both a Market Price and a NAV basis. The fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of the fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets (including the fair value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is 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 market return (Market Price) is determined using the Official Closing Price of the primary stock exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) and may not represent the returns you would receive if shares were traded at other times. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite of a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and its return is not inclusive of operational and transaction costs incurred by the fund.

Inception (10/12/22) represents the date that the shares began trading in the secondary market.

Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares.

ETF performance must be shown based on both a Market Price and a NAV basis. The fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of the fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets (including the fair value of securities owned), subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV Return is 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 market return (Market Price) is determined using the Official Closing Price of the primary stock exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) and may not represent the returns you would receive if shares were traded at other times. NAV is used as a proxy for purposes of calculating Market Price Return on inception date. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

Examples for a $1,000 Investment

As a fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares; and, (2) ongoing costs, including management fees.

The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in the 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 January 1, 2023 and held through June 30, 2023.

The Actual Return line in the table below provides 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 the fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

The Hypothetical Return line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 the 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, including any brokerage commissions you may pay when purchasing or selling shares of a fund. Therefore, the hypothetical return line of the table is 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.

	EXPENSE RATIO (ANNUALIZED) 1	BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE AT 1/1/23	ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE (NET OF EXPENSES) AT 6/30/23	EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD 1/1/23-6/30/23 2

Actual Return	0.03%	$1,000.00	$1,024.50	$0.15
Hypothetical 5% Return	0.03%	$1,000.00	$1,024.65	$0.15

1	Based on the most recent six-month expense ratio.
2	Expenses for the fund are equal to its annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181 days in the period, and divided by 365 days in the fiscal year.

1. Business Structure of the Fund:

Schwab Municipal Bond ETF is a series of Schwab Strategic Trust (the trust), a no-load, open-end management investment company. The trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The list below shows all the operational funds in the trust as of the end of the period, including the fund discussed in this report, which is highlighted:

The fund issues and redeems shares at its net asset value per share (NAV) only in large blocks of shares (Creation Units). These transactions are usually in exchange for a basket of securities and/or an amount of cash. As a practical matter, only institutional investors who have entered into an authorized participant agreement purchase or redeem Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the fund are not redeemable securities.

Individual shares of the fund trade on national securities exchanges and elsewhere during the trading day and can only be bought and sold at market prices throughout the trading day through a broker-dealer. Because fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). A chart showing the frequency at which the fund’s daily closing market price was at a discount or premium to the fund’s NAV can be found at www.schwabassetmanagement.com.

The fund maintains its own account for purposes of holding assets and accounting, and is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Within its account, the fund may also keep certain assets in segregated accounts, as required by securities law. The "Fund Complex" includes The Charles Schwab Family of Funds, Schwab Capital Trust, Schwab Investments, Schwab Annuity Portfolios, Schwab Strategic Trust and Laudus Trust.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies the fund uses in its preparation of financial statements. The fund follows 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).

(a) Security Valuation

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated authority to a Valuation Designee, the fund’s 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 as well as 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.

Schwab Municipal Bond ETF | Semiannual Report34

Schwab Municipal Bond ETF

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

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

• Bonds and notes: Fixed income investments are generally valued using an evaluated price at the mid-point of the bid/ask spread provided by an approved, independent pricing service (mid-price). To determine the evaluated mid-price, a pricing service may use a variety of techniques and inputs. Techniques may include, but are not limited to, spread models that calculate an investment-specific price relative to a benchmark or yield curve models that establish a price based on yields of comparable bonds along a range of maturities. Inputs differ by valuation approach and technique, as appropriate, and examples of inputs may include, but are not limited to, interest rates, market conditions, comparable bonds, market trades, projected cash flows, credit reviews and issuer news.

• Short-term securities (60 days or less to maturity): Securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally valued at an evaluated price; however, such securities may be valued at their amortized cost if it approximates the security’s fair value.

• Securities for which no quoted value is available: The Valuation Designee has adopted procedures to fair value the 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 the 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 fund discloses the fair value of its 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 Valuation Designee’s judgment will be required to estimate fair value.

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

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments — Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets. These generally include active listed equities, mutual funds, ETFs and futures contracts. Mutual funds and ETFs are classified as Level 1 prices, without consideration to the classification level of the underlying securities held.

• 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.

• 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 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

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

The levels associated with valuing the fund’s investments as of June 30, 2023, are disclosed in the fund’s Portfolio Holdings.

(b) Accounting Policies for certain Portfolio Investments (if held):

Delayed-Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities: The fund may transact in securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The securities purchased on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund’s Portfolio Holdings, if any. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed-delivery or when-issued security. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. The fund complies with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, the fund operates as a limited derivatives user, with respect to purchase commitments held within the fund, portfolio securities are no longer required to be segregated as collateral with a value at least equal to the amount of a purchase commitment and the fund’s exposure is monitored under a derivatives risk management program.

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.

(d) Investment Income:

Interest income is recorded as it accrues. If the fund buys a debt security at a discount (less than face value) or a premium (more than face value), it amortizes premiums and accretes discounts from the purchase settlement date up to maturity. The fund then increases (in the case of discounts) or reduces (in the case of premiums) the income it records from the security. Certain securities may be callable (meaning that the issuer has the option to pay it off before its maturity date). The fund amortizes the premium and accretes the discount on each callable security to the security’s maturity date, except when the purchase price is higher than the call price at the security’s call date (in which case the premium is amortized to the call date).

(e) Expenses:

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (Advisory Agreement) between the investment adviser and the trust, the investment adviser will pay the operating expenses of the fund, excluding taxes, any brokerage expenses, and extraordinary or non-routine expenses. Taxes, any brokerage expenses and extraordinary or non-routine expenses that are specific to the fund are charged directly to the fund. The Advisory Agreement excludes paying acquired fund fees and expenses, which are indirect expenses incurred by a fund through its investments in underlying funds.

(f) Distributions to Shareholders:

The fund makes 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.

(g) 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.

(h) Federal Income Taxes:

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

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

(i) Indemnification:

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

(j) Regulatory Update:

Effective January 24, 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (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.

3. Risk Factors:

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

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

Investment Style Risk. The fund is an index fund. Therefore, the fund follows the securities included in the index during upturns as well as downturns. Because of its indexing strategy, the fund does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of the fund’s expenses, the fund’s performance may be below that of the index. Errors relating to the index may occur from time to time and may not be identified by the index provider for a period of time. In addition, market disruptions could cause delays in the index’s rebalancing schedule. Such errors and/or market disruptions may result in losses for the fund.

Municipal Securities Risk. The fund primarily invests in municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of the issuers’ counsel, is exempt from federal income tax and from the AMT. Neither the investment adviser nor the fund guarantees that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will agree with such counsel’s opinion. If certain types of investments the fund buys as tax-exempt are later ruled to be taxable, a portion of the fund’s income could be taxable. To the extent that the fund invests in municipal securities from a given state or geographic region, its share price and performance could be affected by local, state and regional factors, including erosion of the tax base and changes in the economic climate. In addition, many municipal securities are issued to finance specific projects (especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities) and conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market. National governmental actions, such as the elimination of tax-exempt status or the reduction of financial support to municipalities, also could affect performance. Municipalities continue to experience difficulties in the current economic and political environment.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, the fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low, the fund’s yield (and total return) also may be low. Changes in interest rates also may affect the fund’s share price: a rise in interest rates generally causes the fund’s share price to fall. The longer the fund’s portfolio duration, the more sensitive to interest rate movements its share price is likely to be. Also, a change in a central bank’s monetary policy or economic conditions, among other things, may result in a change in interest rates, which could have sudden and unpredictable effects on the markets and significantly impact the value of fixed-income securities in which the fund invests. A sudden or unpredictable rise in interest rates may cause volatility and the value of fixed-income securities to decline.

Schwab Municipal Bond ETF

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

3. Risk Factors (continued):

Credit Risk. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty could cause the fund to lose money or underperform. The fund could lose money if, due to a decline in credit quality, the issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty fails to make, or is perceived as being unable or unwilling to make, timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations.

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

Tracking Error Risk. As an index fund, the fund seeks to track the performance of the index, although it may not be successful in doing so. The divergence between the performance of the fund and the index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. The fund may engage in frequent trading of its portfolio securities in connection with its tracking of the index. A higher portfolio turnover rate may result in increased transaction costs, which may lower the fund’s performance. A higher portfolio turnover rate can also result in an increase in taxable capital gains distributions to the fund’s shareholders.

Prepayment and Extension Risk. Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk that the securities may be paid off earlier or later than expected, especially during periods of falling or rising interest rates, respectively. Prepayments of obligations could cause the fund to forgo future interest income on the portion of the security’s principal repaid early and force the fund to reinvest that money at the lower prevailing interest rates. Extensions of obligations could cause the fund to exhibit additional volatility and hold securities paying lower-than-market rates of interest. Either case could hurt the fund’s performance.

Derivatives Risk. The fund may invest in derivative instruments. The principal types of derivatives used by the fund are futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specific price on a specific day. The fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Certain of these risks, such as market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk, are discussed elsewhere in this section. The fund’s use of derivatives is also subject to lack of availability risk, valuation risk, correlation risk and tax risk. Lack of availability risk is the risk that suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes. Valuation risk is the risk that a particular derivative may be valued incorrectly. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Tax risk is the risk that the use of derivatives may cause the fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains. The fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the fund’s performance, increase the fund’s volatility, and cause the fund to lose more than the initial amount invested. The fund’s use of derivatives also could create a risk of counterparty default under certain transactions, risks that the fund would need to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so in order to meet margin and payment obligations, and legal risks relating to insufficient documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a counterparty, or legality or enforceability of a contract. Furthermore, the use of derivatives subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) could cause the fund to become a commodity pool, which would require the fund to comply with certain CFTC rules.

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

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

Concentration Risk. To the extent that the fund’s or the index’s portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class, the 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 or asset class.

Taxable Investments Risk. The fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that generate income that is not exempt from federal income tax and in securities whose interest is subject to the AMT. These investments could generate taxable income for shareholders.

Market Trading Risk. Although fund shares are listed on national securities exchanges, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for fund shares will develop or be maintained. If an active market is not maintained, investors may find it difficult to buy or sell fund shares.

3. Risk Factors (continued):

Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of the fund will approximate the fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. An investor may pay more than NAV when buying shares of the fund in the secondary market, and an investor may receive less than NAV when selling those shares in the secondary market. The market price of fund shares may deviate, sometimes significantly, from NAV during periods of market volatility or market disruption.

Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the fund.

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 the fund’s investment adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement between the investment adviser and the trust.

For its advisory services to the fund, the investment adviser is entitled to receive an annual management fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.03% of the fund’s average daily net assets.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the fund may enter into interfund borrowing and lending transactions with other funds in the Fund Complex. 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 of the Board. The fund had no interfund borrowing or lending activity during the period.

5. Other Service Providers:

SEI Investments Distribution Co. is the principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the fund.

State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) serves as the fund’s transfer agent. As part of these services, the transfer agent maintains records pertaining to the sale, redemption and transfer of the fund’s shares. The transfer agent is also responsible for the order-taking function for the fund’s shares.

State Street also serves as custodian and accountant for the fund. The custodian is responsible for the daily safekeeping of securities and cash held by the fund. The fund’s accountant maintains all books and records related to the fund’s transactions.

6. 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 fund does not pay any interested or non-interested trustees (independent trustees). The independent trustees are paid by the investment adviser. For information regarding the trustees, please refer to the Trustees and Officers table at the end of this report.

7. Borrowing from Banks:

During the period, the fund was a participant with other funds in the Fund Complex in a joint, syndicated, committed $1 billion line of credit (the Syndicated Credit Facility), maturing on September 28, 2023. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, in addition to the investment adviser paying the interest charged on any borrowings by the fund, the investment adviser paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the fund’s proportionate share of the unused portion of the Syndicated Credit Facility.

During the period, the fund was a participant with other funds in the Fund Complex, in a joint, unsecured, uncommitted $400 million line of credit (the Uncommitted Credit Facility), with State Street, maturing on September 28, 2023. Under the terms of the Uncommitted Credit Facility, the investment adviser pays interest on the amount the fund borrows. There were no borrowings by the fund from either line of credit during the period.

Financial Notes, unaudited (continued)

7. Borrowing from Banks (continued):

The fund also has access to custodian overdraft facilities. The fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is paid by the investment adviser. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate.

8. Purchases and Sales/Maturities of Investment Securities:

For the period ended June 30, 2023, purchases and sales/maturities of securities (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term obligations) were as follows:

PURCHASES OF SECURITIES	SALES OF SECURITIES
$96,644,703	$24,238,202

9. In-Kind Transactions:

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of the fund often consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of fixed-income securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities involved in a relevant fund’s underlying index, and an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units are subject to a standard creation transaction fee and a standard redemption transaction fee paid to the custodian to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. Purchasers and redeemers of Creation Units for cash are subject to an additional variable charge paid to the fund that will offset the transaction costs to the fund of buying or selling portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in Other Capital on the Financial Highlights and on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. In addition, purchasers and redeemers of shares in Creation Units are responsible for payment of the costs of transferring securities to or out of the fund. From time to time, the investment adviser may cover the cost of any transaction fees when believed to be in the best interests of the fund.

The in-kind transactions for the period ended June 30, 2023, were as follows:

IN-KIND PURCHASES OF SECURITIES	IN-KIND SALES OF SECURITIES
$5,240,622	$0

For the period ended June 30, 2023, the fund may realize net capital gains or losses resulting from in-kind redemptions of Creation Units. Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the fund and are not distributed to existing fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gains or losses to capital received from investors at the end of the fund’s tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. The net realized gains or losses on sales of in-kind redemptions for the period ended June 30, 2023, are disclosed in the fund’s Statement of Operations, if any.

10. Federal Income Taxes:

As of June 30, 2023, the tax basis cost of the fund’s investments and gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation were as follows:

TAX COST	GROSS UNREALIZED APPRECIATION	GROSS UNREALIZED DEPRECIATION	NET UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION)
$136,453,536	$1,667,886	($730,909)	$936,977

Capital loss carryforwards have no expiration and may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2022, the fund had capital loss carryforwards of $19,602.

10. Federal Income Taxes (continued):

The tax basis components of distributions and components of distributable earnings on a tax basis are finalized at fiscal year-end; accordingly, tax basis balances have not been determined as of June 30, 2023. The tax basis components of distributions paid during the period ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:

	PRIOR FISCAL YEAR END DISTRIBUTIONS
	TAX-EXEMPT INCOME	ORDINARY INCOME
	$294,373	$272

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 fund may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2022, management has reviewed the tax positions for open periods (for federal purposes, three years from the date of filing and for state purposes, four years from the date of filing) as applicable to the fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the fund’s Statement of Operations. During the period ended December 31, 2022, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

11. Subsequent Events:

Management has determined there are no subsequent events or transactions through the date the financial statements were issued that would have materially impacted the financial statements as presented.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), requires that the continuation of a fund’s investment advisory agreement must be specifically approved (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party thereto (the Independent Trustees), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.

The Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees, as appropriate) calls and holds one or more meetings each year that are dedicated, in whole or in part, to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (the Agreement) between Schwab Strategic Trust (the Trust) and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM) (dba Schwab Asset Management) (the investment adviser) with respect to the existing funds in the Trust, including Schwab Municipal Bond ETF (the Fund), and to review certain other agreements pursuant to which the investment adviser provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In preparation for the meeting(s), the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by the investment adviser, including information about the investment adviser’s affiliates, personnel, business goals and priorities, profitability, third-party oversight, corporate structure and operations. As part of the renewal process, the Independent Trustees’ legal counsel, on behalf of the Independent Trustees, sends an information request letter to the investment adviser seeking certain relevant information. The responses by the investment adviser are provided to the Trustees in the Board materials for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees are provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Board also receives data provided by an independent provider of investment company data. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Fund that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to the Fund’s operations and performance, legal and compliance matters, risk management, portfolio turnover, and sales and marketing activity. In considering the renewal, the Independent Trustees receive advice from Independent Trustees’ legal counsel, including a memorandum regarding the responsibilities of trustees for the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of the investment adviser and meet in executive session outside the presence of Fund management.

The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered information specifically relating to the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Fund at meetings held on April 27, 2023 and June 6, 2023, and approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund for an additional one-year term at the meeting on June 6, 2023 called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

The Board’s approval of the continuance of the Agreement with respect to the Fund was based on consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at these meetings and at prior meetings, including:

the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Agreement, including the resources of the investment adviser and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund;

the Fund’s limited investment performance;

the Fund’s expenses and how those expenses compared to those of certain other similar exchange-traded funds;

the profitability of the investment adviser and its affiliates, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), with respect to the Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to the investment adviser and its affiliates; and

the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels in the Agreement reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the investment adviser to the Fund and the resources of the investment adviser and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, the investment adviser’s experience, track record, compliance program, resources dedicated to hiring and retaining skilled personnel and specialized talent, and information security resources. The Trustees also considered information provided by the investment adviser relating to services and support provided with respect to the Fund’s portfolio management team, portfolio strategy, and internal investment guidelines, as well as trading infrastructure, liquidity management, product design and analysis, shareholder communications, securities valuation, and vendor and risk oversight. The Trustees also considered investments the investment adviser has made in its infrastructure, including modernizing the investment adviser’s technology and use of data, increasing expertise in key areas (including portfolio management and trade operations), and improving business continuity, cybersecurity, due diligence, risk management processes, and information security programs, which are designed to provide enhanced services to the Fund

Schwab Municipal Bond ETF | Semiannual Report42

Schwab Municipal Bond ETF

and its shareholders. The Trustees also considered Schwab’s overall financial condition and reputation as a full service brokerage firm, as well as the wide range of products, services and account features that benefit Fund shareholders who are brokerage clients of Schwab. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the investment adviser to the Fund and the resources of the investment adviser and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Fund Performance. The Board considered that the Fund commenced investment operations on October 12, 2022, and therefore had less than one year of performance history available.

Fund Expenses. With respect to the Fund’s expenses, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Agreement and the Fund’s operating expense ratio, in each case, in comparison to those of other similar exchange-traded funds, such peer groups and comparisons having been selected and calculated by an independent provider of investment company data. The investment adviser reported to the Board, and the Board took into account, the risk assumed by the investment adviser in the development of the Fund and provision of services as well as the competitive marketplace for financial products. The Trustees also considered fees charged by the investment adviser to mutual funds and other exchange-traded funds that it manages. The Board evaluated the Fund’s unitary fee through review of comparative information with respect to fees paid by other similar exchange-traded funds tracking national municipal bond indices. Following such evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Profitability. Although the Fund had a limited operating history, the Trustees considered the compensation flowing to the investment adviser and its affiliates, directly or indirectly and reviewed profitability on a pre-tax basis, without regard to distribution expenses. The Trustees reviewed profitability of the investment adviser relating to the Schwab fund complex as a whole, noting the benefits to Fund shareholders of being part of the Schwab fund complex, including the allocations of certain costs across the Fund and other funds in the complex. The Trustees also considered any other benefits derived by the investment adviser from its relationship with the Fund, such as whether, by virtue of its management of the Fund, the investment adviser obtains investment information or other research resources that aid it in providing advisory services to other clients. The Trustees considered whether the compensation and profitability with respect to the Fund under

the Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Fund by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted that the investment adviser has invested substantial sums in its business in order to provide enhanced research capabilities, services and systems to benefit the Fund. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of the investment adviser is reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Economies of Scale. Although the Trustees recognized the difficulty of determining economies of scale with precision and although the Fund does not have breakpoints in its advisory fee, the Trustees considered the potential existence of any economies of scale by way of the relatively low advisory fee and unitary fee structure of the Fund and whether those are passed along to the Fund’s shareholders through (i) the enhancement of services provided to the Fund in return for fees paid, including through investments by the investment adviser in its infrastructure, including modernizing the investment adviser’s technology and use of data, increasing expertise and capabilities in key areas (including portfolio and trade operations), and improving business continuity, cybersecurity, due diligence and information security programs, which are designed to provide enhanced services to the Fund and its shareholders; and (ii) pricing a fund to scale and keeping overall expenses down as the Fund grows. The Trustees acknowledged that the investment adviser has invested in its infrastructure, as discussed above, over time and that the investment adviser’s internal costs of providing investment management, technology, administrative, legal and compliance services to the Fund may increase as a result of regulatory or other developments. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Fund may expect to obtain reasonable benefits from economies of scale.

In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees may have accorded different weights to various factors and did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreement with respect to the Fund and concluded that the compensation under the Agreement with respect to the Fund is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and the related expenses borne by the investment adviser and its affiliates and such other matters as the Trustees considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

Glossary

Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) A federal income tax designed to limit the extent to which high-income taxpayers (including individuals, estates, trusts and corporations) can benefit from certain deductions and exemptions. For example, some types of income that are exempt from regular federal income tax are not exempt from the AMT.

ask See “offer.”

asset allocation The practice of dividing a portfolio among different asset classes, with each asset class assigned a particular percentage to help offset risks and rewards, based on your goals, time horizon and risk tolerance.

asset-backed securities Bond or other debt securities that represent ownership in a pool of assets such as credit card debt.

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

authorized participant (AP) A large institutional investor that places orders for creation units with the funds’ distributor.

bid The highest price at which someone is willing to buy a security.

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.”

call An early repayment of a bond’s principal by the issuer, usually done because the issuer is able to refinance its bond debt at a lower rate.

call protection A term used in reference to a bond that cannot be called by the issuer before maturity, or at least for many years from the present date. A bond that offers call protection can more reliably be expected to provide a given yield over a given number of years than a bond that could be called (assuming both bonds are of the same credit quality).

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.

commencement of operations The date that the first NAV was calculated.

coupon, coupon rate The annual rate of interest paid until maturity by the issuer of a debt security.

creation unit (C.U.) A basket of securities that is delivered by an authorized participant (AP) to the fund equal to the current holdings of the ETF, plus a designated cash component. In return, the APs receive a large block of ETF shares (typically 50,000 shares), which investors can then buy and sell in the secondary market.

credit-enhanced securities Securities that are backed by the credit of an entity other than the issuer (such as a financial institution). Credit enhancements, which can equal up to 100% of the security’s value, are designed to help lower the risk of default on a security and may also make the security more liquid.

credit quality The capacity of an issuer to make its interest and principal payments; an assessment typically rendered by an independent third-party organization.

credit risk The risk that a bond issuer may be unable to pay interest or principal to its bondholders.

duration A measure of an individual bond’s sensitivity to interest rates, expressed in years. Calculations of duration generally take into account the bond’s yield, interest payments, maturity date and call features.

weighted average duration A measure of the duration of all bonds in a fund’s portfolio, also expressed in years, based on the market value weighted average duration of each bond in the portfolio.

exchange A marketplace, or any organization or group that provides or maintains a marketplace for trading securities, options, futures, or commodities.

expense ratio The amount that is taken from the fund’s assets each year to cover the 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.

face value The value of a bond, note, mortgage or other security as given on the certificate or instrument. Face value is also referred to as par value or nominal value.

general obligation bonds Municipal bonds that are secured by the issuer’s full faith and credit, which typically is backed by the power of the issuer to levy taxes.

ICE AMT-Free Core U.S. National Municipal Index An index that tracks the performance of U.S. dollar denominated investment grade tax-exempt debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market by U.S. states and territories as well as their political subdivisions. Qualifying securities must be exempt from Federal taxes and must not be subject to alternative minimum tax. In addition, qualifying securities must have at least one day remaining term to final maturity, a fixed coupon schedule (including zero coupon bonds) and an investment grade rating (based on the middle rating of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch). If rated by all three agencies, two of the three ratings must be Baa3/BBB- or higher; if rated by two agencies, the lowest rating must be Baa3/BBB- or higher; and if rated by a single agency the security must be rated Baa3/BBB- or higher. Qualifying securities must have at least $25 million currently outstanding face value and must be part of a deal with an original offering size of at least $100 million. Limited offering securities qualify for inclusion. The index excludes certain types of securities, including, among others, floating rate debt, step-coupon bonds, private placements, and securities in legal default. Index constituents are market capitalization weighted. Accrued interest is calculated assuming next-day settlement. Cash flows from bond payments that are received during the month are retained in the index until the end of the month and then are removed as part of the rebalancing. Cash does not earn any reinvestment income while it is held in the index. All inclusion rules and constraints are imposed monthly as part of the index rebalancing. The index is rebalanced on the last calendar day of the month.

inception date The date that the shares began trading in the secondary market.

indicative optimized portfolio value (IOPV) A calculation disseminated by the stock exchange that approximates the fund’s NAV every 15 seconds throughout the trading day.

Schwab Municipal Bond ETF | Semiannual Report48

Schwab Municipal Bond ETF

interest Payments to bondholders (usually made twice a year) as compensation for loaning the bond principal to the issuer.

interest rate risk The risk that a bond’s value will fluctuate if market interest rates change or are expected to change. Bond prices tend to move in the opposite direction of interest rates: when interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall.

liquidity The ability to convert a security or asset quickly into cash.

liquidity-enhanced security A security that when tendered is paid from funds advanced by an entity other than the issuer (such as a large financial institution). Liquidity enhancements are often used on variable-rate securities where the portfolio manager has an option to tender the securities prior to their final maturity.

market price return The return based on the change in market price per share of the fund over a given time period. Market price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund at market price.

market risk Those elements of risk that are common to all securities in an asset class, and therefore cannot be significantly reduced by diversification within the asset class. Also known as “systemic risk.”

maturity The maturity of a bond will generally be determined using a portfolio security’s final maturity date (date on which the final principal payment of a bond is scheduled to be paid); however, for securitized products, such as mortgage-backed securities and certain other asset-backed securities, maturity will be determined on an average life basis (weighted average time to receipt of all principal payments) by the investment adviser. Because pre-payment rates of individual mortgage pools vary widely, the average life of a particular pool cannot be predicted precisely. For securities with embedded demand features, such as puts or calls, either the demand date or the final maturity date will be used depending on interest rates, yields and other market conditions. The weighted average maturity (WAM) of a fund is dollar-weighted based upon the market value of a fund’s securities at the time of the calculation.

mortgage-backed securities Bond or other debt securities that represent ownership in a pool of mortgage loans.

muni, municipal bonds, municipal securities Debt securities issued by a state, its counties, municipalities, authorities and other subdivisions, or the territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia, including their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and corporations. These securities may be issued to obtain money for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, public utilities, schools, streets, and water and sewer works.

net asset value (NAV) The value of one share of a fund. NAV is calculated by taking the fund’s total assets, subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding.

NAV return The return based on the change in NAV of the fund over a given time period. NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the fund.

offer (ask) The lowest price at which an individual is willing to sell a security.

open The price at which a security opened for trading on a given day.

outstanding shares, shares outstanding When speaking of the fund, indicates all shares currently held by investors.

prepayment risk The risk that a mortgage-backed security may be paid off early, typically because interest rates have fallen and the homeowners who hold the underlying mortgages have refinanced those mortgages at lower rates. In this type of situation, the investor who held the mortgage-backed security will usually have to settle for a lower rate when reinvesting the principal.

primary market The market that deals with the issuance of new securities.

refunded bond A bond for which the principal and interest payments are secured or guaranteed by cash or U.S. government securities held in an escrow account.

replication If a fund uses a full replication method, the fund will invest substantially all of its assets proportionately in the securities included in the underlying index.

revenue bonds Municipal bonds that are issued to finance public works projects and are secured by revenue generated by the project (such as water and sewer fees) rather than the full faith and credit of the issuer.

sampling If a fund uses a sampling method, the fund will not fully replicate the underlying index and may hold securities not included in the index. A fund that utilizes a sampling approach may not track the return of the index as closely as a fund that uses a full replication method.

secondary market The market in which investors purchase securities from other investors rather than directly from the issuing companies. Organized exchanges facilitate the trading of securities in the secondary market.

spread The gap between bid and ask prices of a security.

taxable equivalent yield The yield an investor would need to get from a taxable investment in order to match the yield paid by a given tax-exempt investment, once the effect of all applicable taxes is taken into account. For example, if your tax rate were 25%, a tax-exempt investment paying 4.5% would have a taxable equivalent yield for you of 6.0% (4.5% ÷ [1 – 0.25%] = 6.0%).

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

tracking error The difference between the performance of the fund and its benchmark index, positive or negative.

Treasury inflation protected security (TIPS) A United States Treasury bond whose principal increases at the same rate as the Consumer Price Index (CPI).The interest payment is then calculated off that inflated (adjusted) principal and repaid at maturity.

weighted average For mutual funds or ETFs, 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.

yield to maturity The annualized rate of return a bondholder could expect if the bond were held to maturity. In addition to interest payments, yield to maturity also factors in any difference between a bond’s current price and its principal amount, or face value.

FUNDAMENTAL INDEX is a registered trademark of Research Affiliates LLC.

The Schwab Ariel ESG ETF is different from traditional ETFs. Traditional ETFs tell the public what assets they hold each day. This fund will not. This may create additional risks for your investment. For example:

•

You may have to pay more money to trade the fund’s shares. This fund will provide less information to traders, who tend to charge more for trades when they have less information.

•

The price you pay to buy fund shares on an exchange may not match the value of the fund’s portfolio. The same is true when you sell shares. These price differences may be greater for this fund compared to other ETFs because it provides less information to traders.

•

These additional risks may be even greater in bad or uncertain market conditions.

•

The ETF will publish on its website each day a “Proxy Portfolio” designed to help trading in shares of the ETF. While the Proxy Portfolio includes some of the ETF’s holdings, it is not the ETF’s actual portfolio.

The differences between this fund and other ETFs may also have advantages. By keeping certain information about the fund secret, this fund may face less risk that other traders can predict or copy its investment strategy. This may improve the fund’s performance. If other traders are able to copy or predict the fund’s investment strategy, however, this may hurt the fund’s performance.

For additional information regarding the unique attributes and risks of the fund, see Proxy Portfolio Risk, Premium/Discount Risk, Trading Halt Risk, Authorized Participant Concentration Risk, Tracking Error Risk and Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV in the Principal Risks and Proxy Portfolio and Proxy Overlap sections of the prospectus and/or the Statement of Additional Information. These risks are discussed on the next page.

Schwab Municipal Bond ETF

Active semi-transparent ETFs operate differently from other exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Unlike other ETFs, an active semi-transparent ETF does not publicly disclose its entire portfolio composition each business day, which may affect the price at which shares of the ETF trade in the secondary market. Active semi-transparent ETFs have limited public trading history. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop, be maintained or operate as intended. There is a risk that the market price of an active semi-transparent ETF may vary significantly from the ETF’s net asset value and that its shares may trade at a wider bid/ask spread and, therefore, cost investors more to trade than shares of other ETFs. These risks are heightened during periods of market disruption or volatility.

Proxy Portfolio Risk: Unlike traditional ETFs, this fund does not disclose its portfolio holdings (Actual Portfolio) daily. The fund instead posts a Proxy Portfolio on its website each day. The Proxy Portfolio is designed to reflect the economic exposures and risk characteristics of the fund’s actual holdings on each trading day, but it is not the same as the fund’s Actual Portfolio. Although the Proxy Portfolio is intended to provide investors with enough information to allow for an effective arbitrage mechanism that will keep the market price of the Fund at or close to the underlying NAV per Share of the Fund, there is a risk (which may increase during periods of market disruption or volatility) that market prices will vary significantly from the underlying NAV of the fund. ETF trading on the basis of a published Proxy Portfolio may trade at a wider bid/ask spread than ETFs that publish their portfolios on a daily basis, especially during periods of market disruption or volatility, and therefore may cost investors more to trade. Also, while the Fund seeks to benefit from keeping its portfolio information secret, market participants may attempt to use the Proxy Portfolio to identify a Fund’s trading strategy, which if successful, could result in such market participants engaging in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm the Fund and its shareholders.

Proxy Portfolio Construction: The Proxy Portfolio is designed to recreate the daily performance of the Actual Portfolio. This is achieved by performing a “Factor Model” analysis of the Actual Portfolio. The Factor Model is comprised of three sets of factors or analytical metrics: market-based factors, fundamental factors, and industry/sector factors. The fund uses a “Model Universe” to generate its Proxy Portfolio. The Model Universe is comprised of securities that the fund can purchase and will be a financial index or stated portfolio of securities from which fund investments will be selected. The results of the Factor Model analysis are then applied to the Model Universe. The Proxy Portfolio is then generated as a result of this Model Universe analysis with the Proxy Portfolio being a small sub-set of the Model Universe. The Factor Model is applied to both the Actual Portfolio and the Model Universe to construct the fund’s Proxy Portfolio that performs in a manner substantially identical to the performance of its Actual Portfolio. The Proxy Portfolio will only include investments the fund is permitted to hold. The fund’s SAI contains more information on the Proxy Portfolio and its construction.

Proxy Portfolio and Proxy Overlap Information regarding the contents of the Proxy Portfolio, and the percentage weight overlap between the holdings of the Proxy Portfolio and the fund’s Actual Portfolio holdings that formed the basis for its calculation of NAV at the end of the prior Business Day (the Portfolio Overlap), is available by visiting the fund’s website www.schwabassetmanagement.com.

Because environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies exclude some securities, ESG-focused products may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as products that do not use such strategies. Additionally, the criteria used to select companies for investment may result in investing in securities, industries or sectors that underperform the market as a whole.
