The series and class identifiers for the Fund and its Class T shares are as follows:
Series Identifier: S000055542
Class Identifier: C000182429
The Trust is making this application for withdrawal of the Amendments because it has determined not to proceed with the registration of the Shares at this time. No Shares have been issued or sold, or will be issued or sold, in connection with the Amendments. This filing relates solely to the Class T shares of the Fund. This filing is not intended to amend, supersede, or affect any other filings relating to any other classes of the Fund.
The Trust respectfully submits that withdrawal of the Amendments is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors.
If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Kresch Ingber at (202) 778-9015. Thank you.
Very truly yours,
