FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder,

I am a big fan of mutual funds and have been throughout my 40-year career.During this time I've watched the mutual fund market grow, with investors todayhaving nearly 17,000 funds from which to choose.

I also have advocated the need to take a long-term view of investing, as well asthe importance of developing and maintaining an asset allocation plan. Icontinue to believe that mutual funds are excellent vehicles to help you build adiversified portfolio in keeping with your goals.

We have designed Schwab equity funds to deliver a combination of strongperformance and good value. While I am proud of Schwab Funds(R) in general, I amespecially pleased with the Schwab Dividend Equity Fund, which performed verywell over the report period. The Fund is one of eight powered by Schwab EquityRatings(R) and uses the same stock-ranking expertise that helped Schwab's modelequity portfolio achieve industry recognition in Barron's 2004 annualstock-selection competition.

Looking forward, we continue to see tremendous opportunities for investors, andmy colleagues and I are committed to helping you maximize them. We will continueto expand the array of products and services that can help you meet your long-and short-term investment goals.

In closing, I want to remind you that our commitment to our shareholders willnot change. Thank you for investing with us.

Sincerely,

/s/ Charles Schwab

The Schwab Premier EquityFund portfolio managers use a multi-cap strategy and include a variety ofinvestment styles and asset classes, shifting between growth and value accordingto market conditions. The Fund also is diversified across all sectors. With thisbroad coverage, the Schwab Premier Equity Fund can be an integral part of abalanced, diversified portfolio that can help you reach your long-terminvestment goals.

THE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT AND THE FUNDS

If the 2004 equity market ended with a bang, the 2005 market started with awhimper, with all the major equity indices down from their year-end highs at theend of April. For the six-month report period, however, the S&P 500(R) Index 1was still up 3.28%, due to the end-of-year rally. The broader Dow Jones Wilshire5000 Composite Index(SM) 2 was up 3.50% for the report period, againpredominantly because of strong equity returns in November and December 2004.Small-cap stocks lost their leading position to their larger-cap cohorts, andvalue continued to be the favored style. Stocks were volatile and sentiment wasfickle in the face of high energy prices, indications of budding inflation, andprospects of the Federal Reserve continuing to raise short-term interest rates,which it did four times during the six-month report period.

Early in the period, investors were heartened when oil prices dipped and theU.S. presidential election results were uncontested. Unfortunately, the briefrespite in oil prices was short-lived and strengthening global demand for oil,particularly in the Pacific Rim, and refinery constraints at home drove crudeprices to record highs, above $50 per barrel in mid-February.

The firming labor market, as well as steady gains in capital spending, kept theeconomic expansion on a self-sustaining path and corporate liquidity remainedpositive. Consumer sentiment, however, hit a soft patch and started to weaken in2005. First-quarter GDP came in at 3.1%, slightly below expectations and weakerthan the fourth quarter, when it was 3.8%. In this environment, retail salessoftened.

Despite the slowdown in the GDP, strong labor market conditions remainedpositive for domestic consumption. On the earnings front, fourth-quarterearnings were generally better than expected due, in part,

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION continued

TOM BROWN, an associate portfolio manager of the investment adviser, is aday-to-day co-manager of the funds except for the Schwab Total Stock MarketIndex Fund. He joined Schwab in 1995, became a trader in 1999, and was named tohis current position in 2004.

to strong reports from companies in the Energy sector. Expectations forfirst-quarter earnings remained upbeat, although weaker than recent quarters,due to difficult year-over-year comparisons.

Though some high oil and commodity prices may have hampered growth and stirredinflationary pressures, productivity growth and slack in the economy have mostlykept a lid on core inflation. This productivity, coupled with foreign centralbanks buying large amounts of U.S. Treasury securities, also helped to keeplong-term interest rates under control.

While high energy prices remained a significant headwind for economicperformance, they certainly helped boost oil companies' bottom lines. In fact,the strongest sector, according to S&P, was Energy, closely followed byUtilities and then Health Care. On the flip side, Information Technology was theworst performing sector over the report period, while the Consumer Discretionarysector also suffered.

THE SCHWAB S&P 500 FUND ENDED THE SIX-MONTH REPORT PERIOD UP 3.13%, TRACKING ITSBENCHMARK, THE S&P 500 INDEX, WHICH WAS UP 3.28%.

Interestingly, most of this appreciation occurred during the beginning of thereport period. Once the calendar turned into 2005, the equity markets becameextremely volatile. While the pace of growth decelerated during the reportperiod, the price of crude oil still increased, making

THE SCHWAB SMALL-CAP INDEX FUND was up 0.59% for the period, tracking itsbenchmark, the Schwab Small-Cap Index, which was up 0.69%. While this Fundtended to be more volatile than the large-cap fund, the price of oil impactedperformance significantly, and just as its larger-cap cohorts rallied in theEnergy sector, so, too, did small cap. Consumer Staples also performed well. Onthe downside, the Information Technology and Telecommunications Services sectorscontinued to struggle.

THE SCHWAB TOTAL STOCK MARKET INDEX FUND was up 3.49% for the six-month reportperiod, nearly matching its benchmark, the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 CompositeIndex, which was up 3.50%.

THE SCHWAB INTERNATIONAL INDEX FUND was up 8.09%, outperforming its benchmark,the Schwab International Index, which was up 7.87% for the six-month reportperiod.

All figures 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 you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized.

1 The pre-tax total return and the graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates in effect as of 4/30/05 and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes or the alternative minimum tax. Actual returns depend on an investor's situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns may not be relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements. Pre-liquidation after-tax returns reflect the tax effects of purchases and sales of securities within the fund portfolios and assume investors continue to hold fund shares at the end of the measurement periods. Post-liquidation figures assume investors sold fund shares at the end of the measurement periods and reflect both the effects of taxable distributions and any taxable gains or losses realized upon the sale of shares.

2 Fund expenses have been partially absorbed by CSIM and Schwab. Without these reductions, the fund's returns would have been lower.

All figures 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 you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized.

1 The pre-tax total return and the graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates in effect as of 4/30/05 and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes or the alternative minimum tax. Actual returns depend on an investor's situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns may not be relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements. Pre-liquidation after-tax returns reflect the tax effects of purchases and sales of securities within the fund portfolios and assume investors continue to hold fund shares at the end of the measurement periods. Post-liquidation figures assume investors sold fund shares at the end of the measurement periods and reflect both the effects of taxable distributions and any taxable gains or losses realized upon the sale of shares.

All figures 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 you cannot invest in them directly. Performance results less than one year are not annualized.

1 The pre-tax total return and the graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates in effect as of 4/30/05 and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes or the alternative minimum tax. Actual returns depend on an investor's situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns may not be relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements. Pre-liquidation after-tax returns reflect the tax effects of purchases and sales of securities within the fund portfolios and assume investors continue to hold fund shares at the end of the measurement periods. Post-liquidation figures assume investors sold fund shares at the end of the measurement periods and reflect both the effects of taxable distributions and any taxable gains or losses realized upon the sale of shares. Source for category information: Morningstar, Inc. Some funds in this category may not use tax-efficient strategies.

2 Fund expenses have been partially absorbed by CSIM and Schwab. Without these reductions, the fund's returns would have been lower.
