On behalf of each of the other Registrants, all registered investment companies under the 1940 Act (the “Companies”), we are transmitting herewith for filing pursuant to Rule 14a-6(a) under the 1934 Act, this same preliminary notice of special meeting, proxy statement and form of proxy card in connection with a special meeting of shareholders of the specified series of the Companies (together with Columbia Equity Value Fund, the “Funds”). The special meeting is scheduled to be held on February 15, 2011.


Proxies are being solicited for the Funds to consider and vote on: (i) the election of 16 individuals to serve on the boards of directors/trustees of the Registrants; (ii) for certain Funds, an amendment to their Registrant’s governing documents to increase the maximum permissible number of directors/trustees; (iii) a proposed Agreement and Plan of Redomiciling; (iv) for certain Funds, a proposed Investment Management Services Agreement between the Registrant and Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC; and (v) for certain Funds, the authorization of the Fund’s investment manager to enter into and materially amend such Fund’s subadvisory agreements in the future without obtaining shareholder approval.

RiverSource Strategy Series, Inc. filed on November 10, 2010 a preliminary notice of special meeting and proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-6(a) covering all Registrants and Funds and received comments from Ms. Laura Hatch of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 22, 2010. We are refilling and filing anew, as applicable, this preliminary notice of special meeting, proxy statement and form of proxy card to reflect those comments and to officially file on behalf of each of the other Registrants and Funds.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Christopher O. Petersen
