Post-Effective Amendment No. 59 was filed for the purpose of registering the Institutional Class shares of the Funds. The Trust is filing this application for withdrawal because the Trust has determined not to continue with the establishment of the Institutional Class shares of the Funds. No securities were sold in connection with Post-Effective Amendment No. 59. Based upon the foregoing, the Trust believes that withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 59 is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors.
Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 478 of the 1933 Act, this application for withdrawal of the Post-Effective Amendment set forth above has been signed by the President of the Trust on this 14th day of October 2019.
