2. Comment: Regarding the principal investment strategy
section sentence, “The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities of companies
that it expects to generate a majority of their revenue from technology or enablement through technology,
derivatives with similar exposure, or borrowings for investments purposes”:

a. Please add disclosure what “enablement” means.

b. Please
add disclosure on the types of derivatives to be used.

c. Should this state “plus borrowings for investment purposes.”

Response:

The sentence will be rewritten as follows
in the summary and statutory sections (additions underlined and deletions have strikethrough):

The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus
borrowings for investments purposes) in securities of companies that it expects
to generate a majority of their revenue from technology or enablement through technology
derivatives with similar exposure, or. The fund considers companies that
generate a majority of their revenue through enablement of technology to be companies whose competitive
edge and market share are largely based on their technology capabilities. Any derivatives that provide
exposure to the investment focus suggested by the fund’s name are counted, as applicable, toward compliance
with the fund’s 80% investment policy.

3. Comment:
Regarding the principal investment strategy section sentence, “The fund’s primary emphasis is on
the common stocks of what the adviser considers to be enduring technology companies,” please clarify
what “enduring technology companies” means.

Response: The fund will add
the following sentence to the statutory section prospectus: “Enduring technology companies refers to
companies that the adviser expects to be successful over a long period of time through their use of technology.”

4. Comment: Regarding the principal
investment strategy section sentence, “The fund primarily invests in large firms with established track
records, but can also invest in small companies offering new technologies, including privately held companies
and companies that only recently began to publicly trade”:

a. Please supplementally confirm that investments in privately
held companies will represent less than 15% of fund assets.

b. To the extent that such investments will represent more than
15% of fund assets, please explain how the fund will determine that such investments are appropriate
for the open end structure. Your response should include information concerning the relevant factors
referenced in the release adopting Rule 22e-4 under the ’40 Act. Your response may also include general
market data on the types of investments you intend to hold.

c. Please consider adding specific risk disclosure about privately
held companies.

Response: The fund confirms that it does not intend
to invest more than 15% of net assets in privately held companies. The fund will restate the sentence
in the summary and statutory sections as follows (deletions have strikethrough): “The fund primarily
invests in large firms with established track records, but can also invest in small companies offering
new technologies, including privately held companies and companies that only
recently began to publicly trade.” As the fund will not invest in privately held companies as a principal
investment strategy, it declines to add specific risk disclosure.

5. Comment: Regarding the principal investment strategy
section sentence, “The fund typically invests in U.S. companies but can also invest in companies outside
the U.S., including companies in emerging markets:” please disclose how the fund defines emerging markets.

Response: The fund will add the following sentence in the statutory
section of the prospectus: “The fund relies on MSCI Inc. or another unaffiliated data provider
to determine which countries are considered emerging markets and the country assigned to a security.”

6. Comment: Regarding the principal
investment strategy section sentence, “The fund may purchase American Depositary Receipts and Global
Depositary Receipts, which are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer”: if
such securities will be part of the fund’s principal investment strategies, please add disclosure in
the summary prospectus as well.

Response: Neither American Depositary
Receipts nor Global Depositary Receipts will be principal investment strategies; therefore, the fund
will not add additional disclosure.

Statement of Additional Information

7. Comment: Under the industry concentration fundamental
policy, please add “or group of industries” per Item 16 of N-1A and Section 8(b)(1) of the 1940
Act.

Response: We respectfully disagree. The Registrant
respectfully submits that the restriction relating to concentration is consistent with Section 8(b)(1)(E)
of the 1940 Act, Instruction 4 to Item 9(b)(1), and Item 16(c)(iv) of Form N-1A, which provide that a
fund must disclose its policy with respect to concentrating investments in a particular industry or group
of industries. The Fund does not have a policy to concentrate its investments in any particular industry
or group of industries. Rather, the Fund’s policy with respect to industry concentration states that
the Fund will not concentrate its investments in “any one industry.” Neither Section 8(b)(1)(E) of
the 1940 Act, Instruction 4 to Item 9(b)(1), nor Item 16(c)(iv) of Form N-1A, require the Fund to disclose
a policy not to concentrate its investments with respect to both industries and groups of industries.
The Registrant submits that the use of the term “or” in this context indicates that a fund must have
a concentration policy with respect to particular industries or groups of industries.
