Information about Trades Executed through Broker-Dealers Other than Schwab in the Managed Account Select® and Managed Account Connection® Programs

April 1, 2018

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) sponsors the Managed Account Select (“Select”) and Managed Account Connection (“Connection”) programs (each a “program”) in which Schwab-affiliated and non-affiliated asset managers (“Managers”) have discretionary authority to trade in enrolled accounts. The asset-based fee that you pay for the program (“Program Fee”) covers the cost of commissions and other execution charges for trades executed through Schwab, but not any additional cost, such as a commission or markup, associated with trades placed directly by Managers with other broker- dealers through Schwab’s Prime Brokerage Services, Step-In Services, or Trade-Away Services (collectively, “Trading Away”, “Trades Away”, or other variations thereof).

Some Managers execute most or all of their program trades by Trading Away. Managers may have good reasons for Trading Away, such as to meet their obligation to achieve “best execution” for their clients (including clients outside of the programs) – in other words, the best possible trading result, taking into account such factors as price, extra costs, speed and likelihood of execution. Managers may reasonably believe that they are able to achieve better trading results by Trading Away, including better net pricing even with any additional cost associated with Trading Away. In addition to cost considerations, a Manager may consider various other factors as described in their Form ADV brochure (“Brochure”), including the liquidity of the , the need for timely execution, and other brokerage and research services they receive from that broker-dealer.

Nevertheless, any additional cost of Trading Away is in addition to the Program Fee and, like all costs, will reduce the total return of your account enrolled in the program. The more frequently a Manager Trades Away, the greater the potential additional cost and the greater the potential reduction in total return. Knowing the frequency of and any additional cost associated with Trading Away can be an important factor in deciding whether to enroll in or remain enrolled in the program. You will find additional information about Trading Away and other Manager trading practices in the Schwab Managed Account ServicesTM Disclosure Brochure. If you have any questions, please contact your Schwab Financial Consultant or another Schwab representative.

The table below describes the self-reported frequency with which Managers engaged in Trading Away, and any cost associated with such trades, in program investment strategies during the time periods specified.

The information was provided by the Managers and has not been verified by Schwab. It is historical data about the Manager’s past practice, and the Manager may not follow the same practice with the same frequency or resulting cost in the future. Additional information about your Manager’s practices may be contained in your Manager’s Brochure. If your Manager is not listed below, it is because they reported no Trading Away during the time period(s) shown.

1 Except where indicated, the dollar-weighted percentage of client trades "Traded Away" reflects the dollar amount of trades executed for all Schwab clients invested in the strategy through broker-dealers other than Schwab divided by the total dollar amount of trades executed for those clients and includes only "program" or "model" level trades, as opposed to trades placed for a specific account or accounts (such as when a client invests in or withdraws from the strategy). For example, if a Manager placed $1000 of equity trades for an Investment Strategy during the time period specified, $ 500 of which were with broker-dealers other than Schwab, they would have a 50% dollar weighted percentage of client trades “traded away”.

2 Additional cost incurred by clients is stated in average cents per share (“cps”) unless otherwise indicated. In some instances (generally for securities executed outside the U.S. and Canadian markets), the additional costs are expressed in basis points (“bps”), so that, for example, 10 bps would be equal to 0.1% of the cost. For foreign securities, additional expenses such as exchange fees, taxes, ADR conversion fees, and currency conversion costs may be incurred. Note these may be, but are not always, disclosed as additional cost. For fixed income securities, additional costs such as a markup/markdown or spread may be incurred, but are generally included in the net price and may not be disclosed.

3 Investment Stragegy specific information was not available. The information provided is an average of all accounts traded by the Manager.

4 Dollar-weighted percentage of trades done away from Schwab and average additional cost is estimated based on all equity trades across all ThomasPartners Strategies and Windhaven Strategies managed by Charles Schwab Investment Advisory, Inc. (CSIA) and custodied at Schwab, including accounts that are outside of Schwab-sponsored wrap fee programs.
