Re: The Montgomery Funds - CIK No. 0000863435
Request for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form N-1A
File Nos. 33-34841 and 811-6011
Sir or Madam:
On behalf of The Montgomery Funds (the "Registrant") and pursuant to Rule
477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), we
hereby request the withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 71 (the
"Amendment") to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form N-1A (the
"Registration Statement"), as filed with the Commission under Rule 485(a) on
March 16, 2000.
The Amendment relates to certain updates, additions and revisions to the
Registrant's combined prospectuses and the combined Statement of Additional
Information for the Class R and Class P shares. Certain of these additions and
revisions were disclosed in previously filed supplements to the Registrant's
Registration Statement on Form N-1A, or have been approved by the shareholders
of the relevant series of the Registrant. Consequently, the Amendment to the
Registrant's Statement as filed with the Commission on March 16, 2000 was
neither necessary nor required in the manner filed.
Please address any comments or questions concerning this withdrawal request
to the undersigned at (415) 835-1607 or to Thao H. Ngo at (415) 835-1649.
Very truly yours,
/s/ David A. Hearth
