Dear Mr. Be:
This letter responds to a comment we received from the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by telephone on February 19, 2020. This comment relates to Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (the “Registration Statement”) that was filed with the SEC on January 27, 2020 on behalf of ActiveShares® ETF Trust (the “Registrant”) for the purpose of registering shares of the ClearBridge Focus Value ETF (the “Fund”). Following is the Staff’s comment and the Registrant’s response thereto. The Registrant’s response will be reflected in a separate filing to be made by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 497(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Unless otherwise noted, capitalized terms have the same meaning as given in the Fund’s Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”).
