Re:

The Registrants (the “Registrants”) and Fund (the “Funds”) Listed in Annex A

Dear Mr. Ellington:

On August 29, on behalf of the Registrants,1 we filed a letter responding to comments that you delivered by telephone on July 31, 2019 on behalf of the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission after the Staff’s review of the Funds’ annual reports to shareholders filed on Form N-CSR, in each case with respect to the fiscal year listed beside the name of the applicable Fund in Annex A hereto.

On September 6, 2019, you and Sally Samuel of the Staff reiterated the Staff’s view with respect to certain comments initially delivered on July 31, 2019 – specifically, comment 4 (relating to the Staff’s request that “global” Funds disclose the extent to which they invest their assets in investments that are tied economically to countries other than the United States) and comment 5 (relating to the Staff’s position that, for purposes of their concentration policies, Funds must assign an industry classification to each mortgage-related security or asset-backed security in which they invest).

The purpose of this letter is to confirm to the Staff that the Registrants understand the Staff’s positions with respect to the above-referenced matters and to advise the Staff that the Registrants are currently evaluating such matters.

Please contact the undersigned at 617-951-8267 with any questions or comments you might have regarding the above.

 

Sincerely,
/s/ Barry N. Hurwitz
