NEW YORK, NY SSgA Yield Plus Fund (NASDAQ: SSYPX). The class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. State Street Global Advisors ("SSgA") is the investment advisor to an entire group of mutual funds under the State Street name.

According to the Complaint, State Street solicited investors to purchase shares of the SSgA Yield Plus Fund by representing that the Fund was "primarily in a diversified portfolio" with "high-quality debt securities" that include "high credit quality," "sophisticated credit analysis" and "team based decision making by experienced investment professionals." However, it appears that these statements may have been misleading because State Street did not disclose all of the risks associated with investing in the Fund, including the fact that the Fund was heavily invested in risky mortgage-backed or mortgage-related securities.

By June 11, 2007, State Street began lowering the value of the share price of the SSgA Yield Plus Fund. In the months to follow, the value of the SSgA Yield Plus Fund had significantly declined. As of December 12, 2007, the share price of the SSgA Yield Plus Fund had been lowered to about $8.00. Further, as of May 31, 2008, the SSgA Yield Plus Fund was valued at $6.60 per share.
