Re: Schwab Advantage Trust (Files Nos. 811-08980 and 33-89654):
Withdrawal of Registration Statement Filed Pursuant to Rule 485(a)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir or Madam:
Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we
respectfully request that the Registration Statement of Schwab Advantage Trust
on Form N-1A (the "Registration Statement") be withdrawn. The Registration
Statement was filed on February 21, 1995.
This withdrawal request is being made because Schwab Advantage Trust
is filing an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant
to Section 8(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act") to cease to be an investment company. We respectfully request that the
order withdrawing the Registration Statement be effective immediately.
Please direct any questions regarding the enclosed to Martin E.
Lybecker at (202) 626-3907. Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Charles R. Schwab
Charles R. Schwab*
Chairman
