To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), the Trust, on behalf of the Semper Absolute Return Bond Fund (the “Fund”), respectfully requests the withdrawal of the following Post-Effective Amendment to the Trust’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A:
