Prospectus/Proxy Statement

COMMENT 1. Q&A – What should I do

Fund each have substantially similar investment risks.”

COMMENT 3. All Fee Tables

of the Reorganizing Fund has any right to recoup waived or reimbursed fees of the Reorganizing Fund. If so, please confirm whether these

rights.

RESPONSE:

“Because the Reorganizing Fund and the

all of their principal risks are the same.”

Please clarify this statement to reflect that
overall the principal risks are substantially similar.

RESPONSE:

The Registrant will revise the noted disclosure as follows (deletions
stricken and additions bold and underlined):

“Because the Reorganizing Fund
and the Surviving Fund have substantially the same investment objective and substantially similar principal investment strategies, the
principal risks of each Fund are substantially similar substantially all of their principal risks are the same.”

Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.”

COMMENT 8. Board Considerations Relating to
the Reorganization

The Staff notes the disclosure in the following
bullet point:

“There are no material differences between
the Reorganizing Fund’s non-fundamental investment objective and the Surviving Fund’s fundamental investment objective.”

This disclosure should include any differences
in the investment objectives even if not considered material. Please address the non-material differences between the investment objectives
of the Surviving Fund and Reorganizing Fund.

RESPONSE:

The Registrant will revise the disclosure as

“There are no material differences
between the Reorganizing Fund’s non-fundamental investment objective and the Surviving Fund’s fundamental investment objective.,
although the Reorganizing Fund’s investment objective includes the phrase “and liquidity” whereas the Surviving Fund’s
investment objective does not include that phrase. The Board considered that, as institutional money market funds, each Fund is subject
to the same liquidity requirements under Rule 2a-7 and thus liquidity is an implied objective given the nature of the Surviving Fund.”

COMMENT 9. Board Considerations Relating to
the Reorganization

In addition to identifying the benefits of the
Reorganization considered by the Board, please also confirm any adverse consequences of the Reorganization that were considered by the
Board. If adverse consequences were considered, please disclose them.

“Reorganization expenses” line explaining the reasoning for the Total Net Assets adjustments.

notes the capitalization tables presented will be updated to reflect capitalization numbers as of April 30, 2024, to present capitalization
