  FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, Oct 23 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
The Law Office of David R. Chase, P.A. (the "Firm"), headed by former
Securities and Exchange Commission Prosecutor and Special Assistant
United States Attorney, David R. Chase, announces that it is has filed a
FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) arbitration claim against
Charles Schwab & Co. ("Schwab") seeking damages in excess of $300,000.00
on behalf of a YieldPlus Fund Select Shares (NASDAQ: SWYSX) (the "Fund")
Investor. The Firm continues to file arbitration claims on behalf of
Schwab Fund Investors.

    The FINRA arbitration claim alleges: breach of fiduciary duty, negligence,
fraud, breach of contract and negligent supervision as against Schwab. It
also alleges that Schwab misrepresented and failed to disclose critical
information about the Fund.

    The arbitration claim seeks the recovery of investment losses in excess of
$300,000.00, in addition to interest, attorney's fees and punitive
damages.

    The Firm continues investigating investor claims for losses as against
Schwab relating to the Fund and the YieldPlus Fund Investor Shares
(NASDAQ: SWYPX).

    Investors who have suffered substantial losses in the YieldPlus Funds
should seriously consider pursuing their own individual arbitration claims
as a potentially superior alternative to joining a class action. Unlike a
class action, an arbitration claim allows you to: (1) chose your own
counsel (only the lead plaintiff has this right in a class action), (2)
have your unique facts presented to an arbitration panel, (3) control the
decision whether to settle your case and for how much, and (4) generally
secure a result within approximately twelve months, as opposed to
potentially years with a class action.

    The Law Office of David R. Chase, P.A., based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida,
has extensive experience representing defrauded investors nationwide in
securities litigation matters. The Firm's principal, David R. Chase, is
AV-Rated by Martindale-Hubbell, and previously served as Senior Counsel in

Florida. More about the firm is available on its website at:
