	Rule 497(j) filing

Dear Sir or Madam:

Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this letter serves as certification that the forms of Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information that would have been filed under paragraph (c) of Rule 497 would not have differed from those contained in Post-Effective Amendment No. 155 (the “Amendment”) to the Registration Statement of the Registrant. The Amendment was filed electronically with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2018 and becomes effective on May 1, 2018.

Please direct questions or comments relating to this filing to me at the above-referenced telephone number.

Very truly yours,

/s/Cillian M. Lynch
