Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing on behalf of the Registrant, pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to respectfully request withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 240 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A (the “Amendment”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) via EDGAR submission type 485APOS on January 26, 2017 (Accession No. 0001193125-17-018425).

The Amendment was filed in anticipation of launching new Class Z Shares and Class P Shares for certain series of the Registrant and the Delaying Amendments were filed for the sole purpose of delaying the
effectiveness of the Amendment. However, the Registrant does not intend to launch the new classes at the present time, and no securities were sold in connection with the offering.
Therefore, the Registrant respectfully submits this application for withdrawal of the Amendment (Accession No. 0001193125-17-018425) filed under the EDGAR submission type 485APOS and the associated Delaying Amendments listed above filed under the EDGAR submission type 485BXT.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at (303) 394-7310.
Respectfully,
