STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Fundamental Policies (pages 1 – 3) 29. On page 1, disclosure states that the Fund ma y not concentrate in a particular industry or group of industries. Please note that staff be lieves that asset-backed securities can not be excluded from this concentration policy because concentrated investments in asset-backed securities can expose investors to risks common to one industry. Staff takes the position that every investment, other than investments in government s ecurities, domestic bank deposit instruments or tax-exempt securities issued by governments or their political subdivisions (excluding private activity munici pal debt securities) is an i nvestment in some industry or group of industries. Accordingly, a fund must determine which indus try classification(s) reasonably applies with respect to each asset-backed security issuance for concentration purposes. Toward this end, the Fund could consider the nature of an asset-backed security’s underlying receivables ( e.g., auto loans, aircraft leases etc.) to determine its industry classification for purposes of its concentra tion policy. A fund could also reasonably choose to classify its non-mortgage related asset-backed investme nts in a single industry for concentration purposes. PART C – OTHER INFORMATION Item 25. Financial Statemen ts and Exhibits (page C-1) 30. Please revise the last sentence of Section 10.2 of the Declaration of Trust (filed as exhibit (a)(1)) to add “Except as to duties (including st ate law fiduciary duties of loyalty and care) and liabilities with respect to matters arising under the federal securities laws,” at the start of such sentence.

Pamela Poland Chen, Esq. Page 6 May 27, 2025

31. Section 4.3 of the Bylaws (filed as exhibit (b)) st ates that, at any meeting of Shareholders, the Trust will consider broker non-votes as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Please revise Section 4.3 to clarify that broker non-votes cannot always be treated as present for quorum purposes. See e.g. , NYSE Rule 452.10, which allows brokers to vote only on certain types of matters if the beneficial owner of the stock has not provided voting instructions to the broker. 32.
