Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are filing today through the EDGAR system a Registration Statement on Form N-14 relating to the issuance of shares in connection with the merger of Deutsche Select Alternative Allocation Fund, a series of Deutsche Market Trust (“Select”), into Real Assets.
It is currently expected that a special meeting of shareholders of Select will be held on October 11, 2017. Accordingly, we plan to mail proxy materials to shareholders of Select in late August 2017. To accommodate this schedule, we respectfully request to receive any comments you may have on this filing by August 1, 2017, or as soon as practicable thereafter.
Please direct any comments or questions on this filing to the undersigned at (617) 295-3681.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Laura McCollum
