The purpose of the 485APOS filing, filed on April 20, 2012 (Post-Effective Amendment No. 16), was to register the Fund as a new series of the Trust. The purpose of the 485BPOS filing, filed on January 29, 2013 (Post-Effective Amendment No. 44), was to respond to Staff comments on Post-Effective Amendment No. 16, as they related to the Fund, and to make other non-material changes to the Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The nine 485BXT filings, filed between June 29, 2012 and January 24, 2013 (Post-Effective Amendment Nos. 24, 26, 28, 30, 33, 35, 37, 41 and 42), were filed for the purpose of delaying the effective date of Post-Effective Amendment No. 16. The purpose of the nineteen 485BXT filings, filed between February 26, 2013 and August 1, 2014 (Post-Effective Amendment Nos. 49, 52, 57, 58, 62, 66, 72, 75, 77, 81, 83, 85, 87, 89, 92, 96, 99, 101 and 104) were filed for the purpose of delaying the effective date of Post-Effective Amendment No. 44. As of the last filing shown, Post-Effective Amendment No. 44 is scheduled to become effective on September 1, 2014.
The Registrant is requesting the withdrawal of the above referenced Post-Effective Amendments because the Registrant has decided not to proceed with the offering of the Fund. No securities were sold in connection with this offering. Please note that certain of the Post-Effective Amendments listed above were also filed on behalf of the Yorkville High Income Infrastructure MLP ETF, which went effective on January 29, 2013, and this withdrawal request does not relate to, or seek to withdraw the registration of, the Yorkville High Income Infrastructure MLP ETF.
Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 477 under the Securities Act, this application for withdrawal of the Post-Effective Amendments listed above, has been signed by the President of the Trust this 29th day of August, 2014.
If you have any questions regarding this filing, please contact Christopher Menconi at (202) 373-6173 or Abigail Bertumen at (202) 373-6095.
