Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the review by the Staff of the Securities and

No. 18 to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A for Pioneer Series
Trust V relating to Pioneer Absolute Return Bond Fund, filed on
October 4, 2013, the Registrant acknowledges that, with respect to
filings made by the Registrant with the Commission and reviewed by
the Staff:

(a)  the Registrant is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of
     the disclosure in the filings;

(b)  Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff
     comments in the filings reviewed by the Staff do not foreclose

(c)  the Registrant may not assert Staff comments as a defense in
     any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under
     the federal securities laws of the United States.


                                             Sincerely,

                                             Pioneer Series Trust V
