Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Trust hereby requests the withdrawal of the Trust’s post-effective amendment filed with respect to the iShares Commodity Multi-Strategy ETF (the “Fund”). The post-effective amendment was filed on Form N-1A, as referenced below, and has not become effective as of the date of this letter.
Registered Fund Name | Series Identifier | Post-Effective Amendment No. | Initial Filing Date |
iShares Commodity Multi-Strategy ETF | S000064844 | 448 | 12/3/2018 |
The Trust has also filed subsequent 485BXT filings for the sole purpose of extending the original effective date of the initial filing. The most recent 485BXT filing was filed on December 8, 2022 and is scheduled to become effective on January 6, 2023. The Trust also respectfully requests the withdrawal of each 485BXT filing.
Subsequent to the filings, the Trust decided not to go forward with the offering of the Fund as a series of the Trust. No securities were sold in connection with the offering.
If you have any questions, please call Benjamin J. Haskin of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP at (202) 303-1124.
Very Truly Yours,
iShares U.S. ETF Trust
