Re: Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 2
to the Registration Statement under the Securities
Act of 1933 of Kemper Funds Trust
File Nos. 333-65661 and 811-09057
---------------------------------
Dear Ms. Riegel:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), Kemper Funds Trust (the "Trust") hereby applies to withdraw
Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to its registration statement under the 1933 Act
that was filed on June 23, 1999 (the "Amendment"). The Amendment was filed for
the purpose of adding three new series to the Trust, namely Kemper Disciplined
1000 Growth Fund, Kemper Disciplined 1000 Value Fund, and Kemper Disciplined 500
Equity Fund (collectively, the "Series"). At this time, the Trust has determined
that the Series do not comport with its immediate business plans, although it
may pursue registration of similar series in the future. The Trust states that
it has never made a public offering of securities of the Series; that the Series
are not now nor have they ever been active; and that none of the Series has any
assets, known liabilities or pending claims. The Trust believes that withdrawal
of this Amendment would be consistent with the public interest and the
protection of investors.
Please contact the undersigned at (617) 295-2565 with any questions you
may have concerning the foregoing.
Very truly yours,
/s/Caroline Pearson
