Responses to Comments on Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
On December 13, 2016, Anu Dubey of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission provided an oral comment to James M. Forbes of Ropes & Gray LLP, counsel to the Registrant, regarding Pre-Effective Amendment No. 3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Amendment No. 3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to the Trust’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A (“Amendment No. 3”).
 
For the convenience of the Staff, the Staff’s comment to Amendment No. 3 has been restated below in its entirety. The Registrant’s response follows the comment. For purposes of this correspondence, the term “Fund” is used to refer to Goehring & Rozencwajg Resources Fund. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in Amendment No. 3.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund
 
Comment: The expense example indicates that the Institutional Class shares have three-year expenses of $390. The Staff calculates three-year expenses for the Institutional Class shares of $398. Please confirm the correct amount of the three-year expenses for the Institutional Class shares and, if appropriate, reflect the revised amount in a definitive version of the Registrant’s prospectus filed pursuant to the requirements of Rule 497(c) under the Securities Act following the effectiveness of the Registrant’s Registration Statement.
 
Response: The Registrant confirms that the three-year expense amount for the Institutional Class shares is $398. The Registrant further confirms that this amount will be reflected in a definitive version of the Registrant’s prospectus filed pursuant to the requirements of Rule 497(c) under the Securities Act following the effectiveness of the Registrant’s Registration Statement.
