Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are attaching for filing, on behalf of the Trust, Post-Effective Amendment No. 313 to the Trust’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A (the “Amendment”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) (Amendment No. 315 to the Registration Statement pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).  This Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 485(a)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933 for the purpose of conforming the Trust’s Prospectus for its series, the Al Frank Fund and the Al Frank Dividend Value Fund, to the Summary Prospectus Rule as set forth in 17 CFR Parts 230, 232, 239, and 274.

Pursuant to Rule 485(a)(1), the Trust anticipates that this filing shall become effective on April 30, 2010.  At or before April 30, 2010, the Trust will file another Post-Effective Amendment to its Registration Statement under Rule 485(b) of the 1933 Act to be effective not earlier than the effective date of this Amendment.  The purpose of that filing will be to add the audited financial statements and certain related financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, to incorporate any comments made by the Staff on this Amendment, to update any missing information and/or to file updated exhibits to the Registration Statement. Subsequently, it is anticipated that the Trust will file Summary Prospectuses under Rule 497(k).

If you have any questions regarding the enclosed, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (414) 765-6609.

Very truly yours,
