The Trust is making this application for withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 225 and each of the Delaying Amendments because it has determined not to proceed with the registration of the Funds. No securities have been issued or sold in connection with Post-Effective Amendment No. 225 or any of the Delaying Amendments.
