RE: Deutsche Real Assets Fund (“Real Assets”), a series of Deutsche Market Trust (File No. 811-01236) Registration Statement on Form N-14

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are filing today through the EDGAR system a Registration Statement on Form N-14 relating to the issuance of shares in connection with the merger of Deutsche Gold & Precious Metals Fund, a series of Deutsche Securities Trust (“Gold”), into Real Assets.

It is currently expected that a special meeting of shareholders of Gold will be held on October 11, 2017. Accordingly, we plan to mail proxy materials to shareholders of Gold in late August 2017. To accommodate this schedule, we respectfully request to receive any comments you may have on this filing by August 1, 2017, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

Please direct any comments or questions on this filing to the undersigned at (617) 295-3681.

Very truly yours,

/s/Laura McCollum
