In
the expense example, confirm that the 3-year expense example only includes
the effect of the contractual fee waiver for the first year but not for
the second and third years.

The
Trust confirms that only the first year of the fee waiver is included in

Please
provide a legal analysis explaining why the section entitled “Management
of the Fund – Historical Performance of Other Accounts Managed by the
Adviser” should remain in the prospectus, particularly since the Fund’s
original class of shares has performance information dating to October 3,
2005.
|

|
The
sixth sentence of the first paragraph under the section entitled “Share
Prices of the Fund” reads as follows: “The Fund values most money market
instruments it holds at their amortized cost.” Please provide a
discussion of the effect of the word “most” in relation to the valuation
of money market instruments.
|
4.
|
The
last sentence of the first full paragraph under the section entitled
“Purchasing Shares – How to Purchase Shares from the Fund” states that
“Employees of the Adviser may be able to, at the Advisor’s
discretion, purchase shares of the Institutional Class below the stated
minimum investment amount.” Please add disclosure concerning
the factors the Advisor would use in exercising its discretion to allow
its employees to purchase shares of the Institutional Class below the
investment minimum.

|
Since
the original class of the Fund has performance information, the Financial
Highlights table should reflect the performance of that
class.
