Ladies and Gentlemen:

We understand that Pear Tree Funds (the "Registrant") has enclosed herewith for filing electronically with the Commission pursuant to Rule 485(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), Post-Effective Amendment No. 58 (the "Amendment") to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A of the Registrant (the "Registration Statement"), together with the exhibits indicated as being filed therewith.

As indicated on the cover page of the Amendment, the Amendment is to become effective on August 1, 2016 pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 485 under the Securities Act.

The Amendment is being filed to update financial and other information in the prospectus and statement of additional information included therein.  It also includes such changes as discussed with the Staff of the Commission and which are described in our letter to the Staff dated July 30, 2016.  Our review of the Amendment has not revealed any disclosure that would render it ineligible to become effective pursuant to Rule 485(b).

Please call John Hunt at (617) 338-2961 if you have any question.

Very truly yours,
