<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Response</U>: The Trust respectfully submits that the current prospectus disclosure is appropriate and consistent with Form N-1A. Fixed Income SHares: Series C seeks
to achieve its investment objective (maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management) by normally investing substantially all (and at least 80%) of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment
purposes) in a portfolio of U.S.&nbsp;and foreign fixed income instruments. Investments in the financial sector are not a part of the principal investment strategy of the Portfolio. Rather, such investments are a byproduct of the Portfolio&#146;s
investment strategy. Nevertheless, the Portfolio does disclose among its principal risks an Issuer Non-Diversification Risk, which the prospectus describes as follows: &#147;by focusing investments in a small number of issuers, industries, foreign
currencies or regions, the Portfolio may be more impacted by risks associated with a single issuer or a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be.&#148; Thus, in sum, the Trust believes the
Portfolio&#146;s principal investment strategy is appropriately described under &#147;Principal Investments and Strategies of Each Portfolio,&#148; and the Portfolio&#146;s principal risks are appropriately identified and described under
&#147;Principal Investments and Strategies of Each Portfolio&#148; and &#147;Summary of Principal Risks,&#148; respectively. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT
