The purpose of the 485APOS filing, filed on August 17, 2011 (Post-Effective Amendment No. 2), was to register the Funds as new series of the Trust. The purpose of the second 485APOS filing, filed on November 22, 2011 (Post-Effective Amendment No. 4), was to reflect material changes made to the Funds. The 485BXT filing, filed on October 28, 2011 (Post-Effective Amendment No. 3), was filed for the purpose of delaying the effective date of Post-Effective Amendment No. 2. The sixteen additional 485BXT filings, filed between January 20, 2012 and March 29, 2013 (Post-Effective Amendment Nos. 6, 8, 12, 15, 18, 22, 25, 27, 29, 31, 34, 36, 39, 46, 50, and 53) were filed for the purpose of delaying the effective date of Post-Effective Amendment No. 4. As of the last filing shown, Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 is scheduled to become effective on April 29, 2013.

The Registrant is requesting the withdrawal of the above referenced Post-Effective Amendments because the Registrant has decided not to proceed with the offering of the Funds. No securities were sold in connection with this offering.

Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 477 under the Securities Act, this application for withdrawal of the Post-Effective Amendments listed above, has been signed by the President of the Trust this 23rd day of April, 2013.

 If you have any questions regarding this filing, please contact Christopher Menconi at (202) 373-66173 or Abigail Bertumen at (202) 373-6095.
