RE: Pacific Global ETF Trust
File Nos. 333-227097 and 811-23376
Dear Mr. Ellington:
On August 29, 2018 (the “Filing Date”), Pacific Global ETF Trust (the “Registrant”) filed an initial registration statement on Form N-1A related to the Pacific Global U.S. Dividend Yield ETF (“USDY”) (File No. 333-227097). On December 14, 2018, you provided verbal comments about the Registrant’s registration statement in a phone conversation with the undersigned.
Please find below a list of those comments and the Registrant’s responses as requested, which the Registrant has authorized Thompson Hine LLP to make on its behalf.
1. Comment: Please revise the administration, fund accounting, transfer agent, distribution and custody agreements that were filed in Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registrant’s registration statement to include USDY’s adviser as a party to each of those agreements and to make certain other related changes to those agreements.
Response: All but the ETF Distribution Agreement have been revised to include USDY’s adviser as a signatory party and to contain the other related, requested changes. These revised agreements, which have been executed, will be filed with Pre-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registrant’s registration statement. As discussed in a subsequent phone conversation, the ETF Distribution Agreement will be filed with the SEC promptly after the Registrant’s next in-person boarding meeting. Also, at that time, executed versions of the form of agreements that were not the subject of the SEC comments will be filed.
