Re: Grant Park Futures Fund Limited Partnership
Registration Statement on Form S-1
Registration No. 333-223480
Request for Acceleration of Effectiveness
Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Grant Park Futures Fund Limited Partnership (the “Registrant”) hereby respectfully requests that the effectiveness of the above-referenced Registration Statement be accelerated to 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on May 14, 2018, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
With respect to the Registrant’s request for acceleration of the effective date of the Registration Statement, please be advised that the Registrant acknowledges that:
(1) should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
(2) the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
(3) the Registrant will not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Please contact our counsel, Jennifer Durham King of Vedder Price P.C., at (312) 609-7835 if you require any additional information. Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter.
Very truly yours,
Grant Park Futures Fund Limited Partnership
