Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated
and then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year
and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions
your costs would be:
1 Year
3 Years
$60
$189
3. Comment.
Please provide the range of market capitalization of the companies included in the Russell Midcap® Growth Index.
Response.
The Registrant
confirms that the range of market capitalization of the companies included in the Russell Midcap® Growth Index have been
provided.
4. Comment.
With respect to MIMGL, please clarify the “quantitative support” to be provided.
Response.
The Registrant
notes that MIMGL will no longer be providing services to the Fund. Accordingly, all references to MIMGL providing services to the Fund
in the Amendment have been deleted.
5. Comment.
In the section entitled, “What are the principal risks of investing in the Fund,” under “Foreign risk,” please consider expanding the disclosure to include a discussion of whether the Fund will invest in emerging or developing markets as part of the Fund’s principal investment strategies.
Response.
The Registrant
confirms that it is not currently expected that the Fund will invest in emerging markets or in developing markets as part of the Fund’s
principal investment strategies. Accordingly, no changes have been made.
