RE: Phoenix Strategic Equity Series Fund
File Nos. 33-6931 and 811-4727
To The Commission Staff:
On behalf of Phoenix Strategic Equity Series Fund, a Massachusetts
business trust (the "Registrant"), I hereby request that Version B of the
registration statement, as currently contained in Post-Effective Amendment No.
24, be withdrawn.
Company Name: Phoenix Strategic Equity Series Fund
Form Type: 485APOS
Received Date: February 21, 1997 15:41
Accepted at: February 21, 1997 15:45
Accession No.: 0001029869-97-000271
The adviser has informed the Trustees that it no longer has the
appropriate resources to devote to the specialized needs of the management of a
micro cap portfolio. The Trustees have therefore directed me to seek withdrawal
of the registration statement. As indicated in my cover letter to Post-Effective
Amendment No. 28, filed on February 13, 1998, the series is not currently and
has never been offered for sale, has never been funded and has no shareholders.
Should you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at (860)
403-5261.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Thomas N. Steenburg
Thomas N. Steenburg, Counsel
Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd.
