We are submitting via EDGAR this letter on behalf of the Funds, which is intended to respond to your comments.

DISCLOSURE COMMENTS

Comment

The consent that was filed as Exhibit 14 to the Registration Statement does not reference the Acquiring Funds. This is a material deficiency and makes the filing ineligible under Rule 488. Please confirm in correspondence that a delaying amendment will be filed prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. In addition, please confirm in correspondence that a new consent will be obtained and filed with a pre-effective amendment to the Registration Statement. In the alternative, the Registrant may choose to withdraw the Registration Statement and correct the deficiency in a new filing.

Response to Comment 1

The Registrant acknowledges that the Registration Statement has been determined by the staff to be ineligible for automatic effectiveness under Rule 488 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registrant’s filing of a pre-effective amendment to the Registration Statement will include a corrected exhibit.

Accordingly, the Registrant has filed a delaying amendment on December 4, 2023 in a corresponding pre-effective amendment to the Registration Statement responding to these comments and containing the requisite revised consent, and will request acceleration of effectiveness to December 28, 2023.

Comment

It appears that the current fees and expenses for each of the Funds are provided as of April 30, 2023. Please confirm in correspondence that the fees and expenses presented represent current fees in accordance with Item 3 of Form N-14.

Response to Comment 2

The Registrant confirms that the fees and expenses presented represent current fees.

Comment

Please review the total net assets and the recalculated shares amount noted in the capitalization table for the “Leading Sector Funds Reorganization.” The total net assets appear to be incorrect, and the shares outstanding are calculated based on this amount. If the Registrant determines that the capitalization table is correct, please explain the reasoning in correspondence.

Response to Comment 3

The Registrant confirms it has identified an error in its calculation following the staff comment that did not reflect the assets of both Acquired Funds in the Acquiring Fund. The corrected capitalization table for the “Leading Sector Funds Reorganization.” is set forth below and will be included on the Registrant’s filing of a pre-effective amendment to the Registration Statement:

Leading Sector Funds Reorganization Net Assets ($) Shares Net Asset Value

Fund Capitalization as of April 30, 2023 Outstanding Per Share
