-- Conseco High Yield Focus Fund
1933 Act File No. 333-13185
1940 Act File No. 811-07839
Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 - Application for Withdrawal
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
("1933 Act"), on behalf of Conseco Fund Group ("Registrant"), we respectfully
withdraw Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to the Registrant's Registration
Statement on Form N-1A. Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 was submitted and
accepted on April 14, 1998 pursuant to Rule 485(a) under the 1933 Act. The
effective date of Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 was to be 75 days after the
date of its filing (June 29, 1998), and currently it is pending. Post-Effective
Amendment No. 5 was submitted to reflect the creation of a new series of the
Registrant, the Conseco High Yield Focus Fund. Due to marketing considerations,
the Registrant has determined not to initiate the Conseco High Yield Focus Fund
as a new series at this time. The Board of Trustees of the Registrant has passed
a resolution approving this application for withdrawal of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 5.
Sincerely,
/s/ William P. Latimer
