Dear Ms. Marquigny:
On behalf of our client, The Advisors’
Inner Circle Fund III (the “Trust”), this letter responds to the comments you provided on behalf of the staff (the
“Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) via telephone regarding the Trust’s

to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, on December 18, 2019. Below,
we have briefly summarized your comments and questions, followed by our responses. Capitalized terms not defined herein should
be given the meaning provided in the Proxy Materials.

Response. The
Trust respectfully declines to make the requested change because Fiera expects to recommend that the Board consider any such further
actions, other than resubmitting the New Sub-Advisory Agreement to shareholders for approval, only if the New Sub-Advisory Agreement
is not approved by the Fund’s shareholders at the Meeting or upon such resubmission.
4. Comment. In the “Description of the Material Terms of the Prior Sub-Advisory
Agreement, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement” section, please clarify that the capital
allocation program in which AMO USA would be permitted to participate pursuant to the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is the same as
the capital allocation program in which MAI was permitted to participate pursuant to the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Response. The
requested change has been made.
5. Comment. In the “Board Considerations in Approving the New Sub-Advisory
Agreement – Costs of Advisory Services” section, please clarify if the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement discussed
in the section differ from the corresponding terms of the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Response. The
requested change has been made.
6. Comment. In the “Payment of Expenses” section, please clarify that
AMO USA or its affiliates will pay all expenses associated with the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting or any adjournment
thereof.
Response. The
requested change has been made.
