Re: Magna Funds
File Nos. 33-78408 and 811-8494
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Transmitted herewith for filing by means of electronic submission on
behalf of Magna Funds (the "Trust") pursuant to (1) the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Rule 485(b) thereunder, (2) the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), (3) Form N-1A and
(4) Regulation S-T, is Post-Effective Amendment No. 11 to the Trust's
Registration Statement under the Securities Act ("Post-Effective Amendment No.
11"). The sole purpose of this filing is to, in accordance with the provisions
of Rule 485(b) under the Securities Act, delay the effectiveness of two
currently pending post-effective amendments to Magna Funds' Registration
Statement, Post-Effective Amendment No. 9 to the Trust's Registration Statement,
filed with the Commission on June 13, 2000, and Post- Effective Amendment No. 10
to the Trust's Registration Statement, filed with the Commission on June 30,
2000.
As has been designated on the attached facing sheet, the Trust hereby
delays effectiveness of Post-Effective Amendment Nos. 9 and 10 until September
1, 2000. The Trust will file an additional post-effective amendment with the
Commission on or prior to such date primarily for the purpose of addressing
comments provided by the Commission's staff on Post- Effective Amendment Nos. 9
and 10 and updating certain financial and other information.
We have assisted the registrant in the preparation of this
Post-Effective Amendment No. 11, and believe that this Post-Effective Amendment
No. 11 does not contain disclosures that would render it ineligible to become
effective under paragraph (b) of Rule 485 under the Securities Act.
