*This filing related to funds in addition to the Fund that is the subject of this letter.
The purpose of the 485APOS filing, filed on October 5, 2017 (Post-Effective Amendment No. 387) and 485BPOS filing, filed on January 19, 2018 (Post-Effective Amendment No. 401) was to introduce the Fund along with other funds as new series of the Registrant. The thirteen 485BXT filings, filed between December 18, 2017 and May 25, 2018 (Post-Effective Amendment Nos. referenced above), were filed for the purpose of delaying the effective date of Post-Effective Amendment No. 387 and 401.
The purpose of 485BPOS filing, filed on June 1, 2018 (Post-Effective Amendment No. 420), was to introduce only the Fund as a new series of the Registrant. The fourteen 485BXT filings, filed between June 28, 2018 and June 27, 2019 (Post-Effective Amendment Nos. referenced above), were filed for the purpose of delaying the effective date of Post-Effective Amendment No. 420. Post-Effective Amendment No. 420 currently is scheduled to become effective on July 26, 2019.
The Registrant is requesting the withdrawal of the Amendments pertaining to the Fund because it has decided to not proceed with the offering of shares of the Fund.
Post-Effective Amendment No. 420 has not yet become effective and no securities were sold in connection with the offering. Accordingly, the Registrant believes its request for withdrawal of the Amendments is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact Jeremy Senderowicz at (212) 641 - 5669.
