Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of The Alger Funds (“TAF”), The Alger Institutional Funds (“TAIF”) and Alger Global Growth Fund (“AGGF,” and collectively with TAF and TAIF, the “Registrants”), we filed on December 22, 2016 pursuant to Rule 485(a)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Post-Effective Amendment No. 93, Post-Effective Amendment No. 48 and Post-Effective Amendment No.27 (each, an “Amendment”) to the Registration Statements on Form N-1A of TAF, TAIF and AGGF, respectively (each, a “Registration Statement”).
We acknowledge that each Amendment was filed via EDGAR without the inclusion of a marked copy of the Amendment indicating the changes effected in the applicable Registration Statement by the Amendment. We understand the Registrants’ obligation pursuant to Rule 472 under the Securities Act to include both marked and unmarked copies in future EDGAR filings and note that Rule 310 of Regulation S-T permits the use of “<R>-coding” to satisfy certain marking requirements.

Very truly yours, |
