(File Nos. 033-12112 and 811-05032)
Dear Ms. O’Neal Johnson:
Pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), Baron Investment Funds Trust (the “Registrant”) hereby requests the withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 51 under the 1933 Act to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2015 (the “Amendment”).
The Registrant is requesting the withdrawal of the Amendment because the incorrect rule was selected on the facing sheet.
The Amendment has not yet become effective and no securities were sold in connection with the offering.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 212-583-2119 if you have any questions or require anything further.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Patrick M. Patalino |
