Opportunities Fund (the Fund), as of and for the year ended April 30, 2025, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board

financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a
basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form
N-CEN, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion.</font></p>

Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and

related costs of controls. A company's internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records

<p style="margin:0in;margin-left:5.9pt;"><font face=Arial,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:103%;">Because of its
inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.</font></p>

internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation
of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of
performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a
timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is
a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company&#8217;s annual
or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis.</font></p>

of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting was for the limited
purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all
deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the PCAOB. However, we noted no deficiencies in the
Fund's internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including
controls over safeguarding securities that we consider to be a material
weakness as defined above as of April 30, 2025.</font></p>
