DECHERT PRICE & RHOADS TEN POST OFFICE SQUARE - SOUTH SUITE 1230 BOSTON, MA 02109-4603 September 30, 1999 Securities and Exchange Commission 450 Fifth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20549 Attn: Mrs. Patricia P. Williams Division of Investment Management Re: Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 of Mackenzie Solutions File Nos. 333-67705 and 811-09107 Dear Mrs. Williams: Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), Mackenzie Solutions (the "Trust") hereby applies to withdraw Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to its registration statement under the 1933 Act that was filed on July 16, 1999 (the "Amendment"). The Amendment was filed for the purpose of adding a new series to the Trust, namely Cundill Value Fund (the "Series"). At this time, the Trust has determined that the Series does not comport with its immediate business plans, although it may pursue registration of a similar series in the future. The Trust states that it has never made a public offering of securities of the Series; that the Series is not now nor has it ever been active; and that the Series has no assets, known liabilities or pending claims. The Trust believes that withdrawal of this Amendment would be consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors. Please contact me at (617) 728-7161 or Tracy M. Soehle, Esq. at (617) 728-7174 with any questions you may have concerning the foregoing. Very truly yours, /s/JOSEPH R. FLEMING Joseph R. Fleming, Attorney-in-Fact
