Fund Details
Fund Strategy
The investment seeks total return. The adviser seeks to achieve total return by constructing a dynamic portfolio with the aim of both managing the volatility of the fund and reducing the impact on the fund's portfolio of significant market downturns during periods of high volatility in the price of Bitcoin. The fund invests substantially all of its assets in a combination of Bitcoin Futures and cash investments whose collective performance is designed to achieve total return with the aim of both managing the volatility of the fund and limiting losses due to severe sustained decline. The fund is non-diversified.

| Fund Company | CBOE Vest | ESG FundESG FundEnvironmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is the industry term Schwab has chosen to use as an umbrella term to describe various investing approaches that consider not only traditional measures of risk and return, but environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) factors as well. Schwab uses ESG to broadly encompass ESG investing , but also investing approaches described as "values-based investing," "impact investing," "sustainable investing," and other approaches. An ESG product may apply ESG factors to its investment or governance processes in many different ways. A product that employs ESG strategies may choose to focus on one or more ESG factors, though an ESG product may also include securities that don't fit any ESG category. The information displayed utilizes the Morningstar "Sustainable Investment - Overall" datapoint. Click here to learn more about ESG at Schwab. 0824-U08J | No |
Leveraged FundLeveraged FundLeveraged Mutual Funds typically use derivatives to attempt to multiply the returns of the underlying index each day or month. These funds invest their portfolios much differently than other mutual funds. They have the propensity to be more volatile and are inherently riskier than their non-leveraged counterparts. It is important to remember that these funds are generally designed for short-term use only, and are generally not intended to be buy-and-hold positions, because their returns over longer periods generally do not match the mutual fund’s multiple of the underlying index over those periods. These funds are not appropriate for most investors. 0824-U08J | No | Index Fund | No |
Inverse FundInverse FundInverse mutual funds typically use derivatives to attempt to move in the opposite direction of the underlying index by a certain multiple each day or month. They generally have either a negative number like –1x or –2x or a term like “short” or “inverse” in their names. These funds invest their portfolios much differently than other mutual funds. They have the propensity to be more volatile and are inherently riskier than their non-inverse counterparts. It is important to remember that these funds are designed for short-term use only, and are not intended to be buy-and-hold positions, because their returns over longer periods generally do not match the mutual fund’s negative multiple of the underlying index over longer periods. These funds are not appropriate for most investors. 0824-U08J | No | ||
Interval FundRisks of Interval FundsInterval funds are not available for purchase by individual investors. Interval funds are closed-end funds that offer daily purchases and redeem shares by periodically offering to repurchase a certain portion of shares from shareholders ("tenders" or "redemptions"). Rules and regulations related to interval funds enable fund companies to create portfolios with less capital volatility while holding a greater percentage of less-liquid, longer-term investments, often with higher risk-return opportunities than may be readily achieved in open-end mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Although interval fund purchases resemble open-end mutual funds in that their shares are typically continuously offered and priced daily, they differ from traditional closed-end funds in that their shares are not sold on a secondary market. Instead, periodic repurchase offers are made to shareholders by the fund. The fund will specify a date by which shareholders must accept the repurchase offer. The actual repurchase will occur at a later, specified date. If repurchase requests exceed the number of shares that a fund offers to repurchase during the repurchase period, repurchases are prorated (reduced by the same percentage across all trades) prior to processing. In such event, shareholders may not be able to sell their expected amount, and would potentially experience increased illiquidity and market exposure, which could increase the potential for investment loss.

Morningstar Category: Digital Assets Digital assets that utilize blockchain technology can be described as an immutable, permissionless and often decentralized digital database. Digital asset portfolios will invest the majority of their assets into one or more broadly classified areas including; Decentralized Finance (DeFi) assets, stable coins, currency assets, smart contracts platforms, exchange assets, privacy assets, yield farming, and nonfungible tokens (NFTs) among others. Digital assets are often characterized by two risk style factors momentum and volatility. Portfolios may gain access to digital assets through physical or derivative exposures and incorporate both long only investments and other hedging techniques. To qualify for inclusion, funds in this category must have a material portion of risk coming from digital assets | |||

Schwab reserves the right to exempt certain funds from this fee, including Schwab Funds®, which may charge a separate redemption fee, and funds that accommodate short-term trading.

This cryptocurrency-linked product carries a substantial level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. Compared to other securities, currencies, or commodities, investments in cryptocurrencies are relatively new, highly speculative, and are subject to extreme price volatility, illiquidity, and increased risk of loss, including your entire investment in the fund. This fund uses futures contracts to attempt to duplicate the performance of an investment in cryptocurrency, which may result in unpredictable pricing, higher transaction costs, and performance that fails to track the price of the reference cryptocurrency as intended. Please read more about the risks here.

- Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance. For each fund with at least a 3-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 1 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.
