	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 form of Prospectus and Statement 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 Nos. 160/161 (the “Amendment”) to the Registration Statement of the Registrant. The Amendment was filed electronically with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 6, 2019, with an effective date of September 13, 2019, relating to the Emerging Markets Fund, the International Investors Gold Fund, and the Global Hard Assets Fund, each a series of the Registrant.

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

Very truly yours,

/s/Cillian M. Lynch
