Dear Mr. Kernan:
Thank you for your comment regarding the Annual Report on Form N-CSR of the Funds, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 5, 2023. This letter responds to your comment, which you provided to us by telephone on May 11, 2023.
1. COMMENT: The Management’s Discussion of Funds’ Performance (MDFP) section should be enhanced to include a broader discussion of the factors that materially affected performance during the most recent fiscal year, specifically the relevant market factors and investment strategies and techniques used by the Funds’ investment adviser. See Item 27(b)(7) of Form N-1A. The Staff notes that the MDFP focuses on comparative performance and stock and asset class selection in the form of the largest contributors and detractors to performance while market factors and investment strategies and techniques are addressed in the letter from the President. Please explain how the Funds will address the Form requirements.
RESPONSE: The Funds will incorporate the Staff’s comments in future Annual Reports to shareholders.
