Dear Ms. Gordon,
This letter is being submitted on behalf of the Funds in response to comments of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) received via a telephone call on January 20, 2015 with regard to the above-captioned Post-Effective Amendment, which Amendment was filed on behalf of the Funds on December 3, 2014 and currently has an effective date of February 1, 2015.
The Staff’s comments are restated below followed by the Funds’ responses.
1. Expense Waiver/Reimbursement Arrangements
Comment: Please confirm that the contractual expense waiver/reimbursement arrangements reflected in any affected Fund’s fee table will extend for at least one year from the effective date of such Fund’s Prospectus.
Response: Each affected Fund confirms that the expense waiver/reimbursement arrangements reflected in its fee table will extend for at least one year from the effective date of its Prospectus.
2. Main Risks
Comment: For those Funds that have “Active trading” risk disclosure in the “Main Risks” section of the Prospectus, please consider modifying such disclosure by adding a cross-reference to the “Portfolio Turnover” section of the Prospectus.
Response: We respectfully decline to modify the above-referenced risk disclosure as suggested. The affected Fund has reviewed said disclosure and believes it accurately captures the salient risks associated with active trading.
If you have any questions regarding any of the foregoing or require additional information, please call me at (617) 295-3011.
Sincerely yours,
/s/James M. Wall
