Re: Filing pursuant to Rule 497 in connection with the New England Zenith
Fund Registration Statement on Form N-1A
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of New England Zenith Fund (the "Fund"), we hereby certify,
pursuant to Rule 497(j) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that the form
of prospectus and statement of additional information that would have been filed
today under Rule 497(c) would not have differed from that contained in Post-
