Thank you for your oral comments provided on March 24, 2022 and April 4, 2022, regarding your review of the Fund’s annual report to shareholders for the period ended September 30, 2021 (the “Annual Report”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-CSR on December 3, 2021.

Your comments are summarized below to the best of our understanding, followed by the Fund’s responses.

   Response: The Fund confirms that, going forward, the line graph and accompanying table will appear in the Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance section of the annual report to shareholders.

2.        Comment: The Fund’s registration statement includes financial highlights for each fiscal year end since the Fund’s inception through the year ended September 30, 2019, and the Fund’s registration statement forward incorporates by reference the Fund’s most recent Annual Report, which includes, in addition to other information, the financial highlights for each fiscal year end since September 30, 2017. The Staff requests that the Fund file an amended Form N-CSR or a Form 424B5

that includes in a single presentation the financial highlights for each of the Fund’s last ten fiscal years (or since inception, if shorter) or that the Fund incorporates that information by reference from a source where all of that information is presented together.
