Beacon Tactical Risk ETF and Beacon Selective Risk ETF (S000080117
and S000080116)
Dear Mr. Parachkevov and Ms. Hahn:
On behalf of Northern Lights
Fund Trust II (the “Trust”) and its series, the Beacon Tactical Risk ETF and Beacon Selective Risk ETF (each a “Fund”
and, collectively, the “Funds”), we hereby request acceleration of Post-Effective Amendment No. 541 to the Trust’s registration
statement on Form N-1A (“Post-Effective Amendment No. 541”) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), pursuant to Rule 485(a)(2) thereunder, on April 13, 2023, so that Post-Effective Amendment No. 541 would be declared effective
on April 13, 2023. Pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s authority under Rule 461(a) under the 1933 Act, we
have attached a separate letter from Northern Lights Distributors, LLC, the Fund’s principal underwriter, requesting that effectiveness
of the amendment to the registration statement be accelerated to 4:00 pm on Thursday, April 13, 2023, or as soon as practicable thereafter.
We are requesting acceleration
of Post-Effective Amendment No. 541 because the Funds have already been reviewed by the Commission’s staff prior to the filing of
Post-Effective Amendment No. 541. As previously noted in the cover letter to Post-Effective Amendment No. 541 filed on April 13, 2023,
Post-Effective Amendment No. 541 was filed for the purpose of addressing staff comments on Post-Effective Amendment No. 540 (SEC Accession
No. 0001580642-23-001827) which was filed for the purpose of adding a sub-adviser and addressing staff comments on Post-Effective Amendment
No. 536 to the Trust’s registration statement on Form N-1A. The Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for the Funds
was originally filed on January 18, 2023, in Post-Effective Amendment No. 536. On April 4, 2023, the Trust received additional
comments from the Commission staff with respect
to the Funds, and those comments were addressed in Post-Effective Amendment No. 541.
The Trust acknowledges
that (i) should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose
the Commission from taking any actions with respect to the filing, (ii) the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant
to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Trust from its full responsibility for the adequacy and
accuracy of the disclosure in the filing, and (iii) the Trust may not assert this action as defense in any proceeding initiated by
the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Please direct any questions
you may have with respect to the foregoing to David J. Baum (at 202-239-3346) of Alston & Bird LLP.
Very truly yours,
