Schwab Charitable – Strategic Giving Simplified

Donors should carefully consider information contained in the prospectus for the registered underlying mutual funds, including investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses.

(1) This is a total of the underlying fund’s annual operating expenses, expressed as a percentage of its average net assets and does not include our administrative fee.

(2) Nature of index funds (to track relevant market indices) do not typically lend themselves to more than 3 star Morningstar ratings.

Market fluctuations may cause the value of investment funds shares held in a Charitable Gift Account to be worth more or less than the value of the original contribution to the funds. Funds may focus on certain sectors that may involve a greater degree of risk than other funds, which provide broader diversification. Funds that invest in international stocks may be exposed to additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political volatility, foreign taxes and foreign regulators and the potential for illiquid markets. Historically, small-cap stocks have been more volatile than stocks of larger, more established companies.

Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance as of 10/31/2010. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The top 10% of the funds in an investment category receive 5 stars, 22.5% receive 4 stars, 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating is a weighted average of the funds' three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar rating metrics.

Prospectuses for the registered mutual funds underlying the investment pools are available from the Fund upon request. Please read them carefully before selecting an investment pool to recommend. The highlighted performance for the pools and the underlying funds represent a relatively short time period. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The pool returns are based on the total returns of the underlying mutual funds in each pool, minus the operating expenses of Schwab Charitable Fund. Principal value and investment return will fluctuate with changes in market conditions, and an account in the pool may be worth more or less than the original amount contributed to the account. During the period, the pools' holdings may have deviated from their target allocations, because of changing market conditions. The portfolio managers rebalance the pools' holdings as needed to limit significant variances.
