Dear Mr. Cowan:
We received your comments regarding the Registration Statement for the above captioned Trust. This letter serves to respond to your comments.
Comments
Portfolio
1.If a principal investment of the Trust, please also add distressed debt securities to the list of investment types that the ETF portion of the Trust invests in (consistent with the risk disclosure).
Response:The Trust notes that while distressed debt securities do not rise to a level of principal investment for the Trust, the Trust believes the current risk disclosure is adequate and necessary for investor comprehension as the distressed debt securities risk disclosure is substantially related to the high-yield securities risk disclosure. As such, the Trust respectfully declines to add distressed debt securities to the Portfolio Selection Process section.
Risk Factors
2.If the Trust has exposure to small and/or mid capitalization companies, please include a risk factor for small and/or mid capitalization companies.
Response:If, based on its final portfolio, the Trust has exposure to small and/or mid-capitalization companies, relevant risk disclosure will be added to the Trust’s prospectus. Otherwise, the “Additional Portfolio Contents” section will be revised.
We appreciate your prompt attention to this Registration Statement. If you have any questions or comments or would like to discuss our responses to your questions, please feel free to contact Brian D. Free at (312) 845-3017 or the undersigned at (312) 845-3721.
Very truly yours,
