Dear Ms. O’Neal,
On behalf of the Johnson Fixed Income Fund, Johnson Municipal Income Fund, Johnson Institutional Short Duration Bond Fund, Johnson Institutional Intermediate Bond Fund, Johnson Institutional Core Bond Fund and Johnson Enhanced Return Fund (the "Funds"), each a series of Johnson Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust" or "Registrant"), we hereby request that the Commission accelerate the effective date of Post-Effective Amendment No. 54 to the Trust’s Registration Statement (the "Amendment"), which was filed on April 22, 2020, to May 1, 2020, or the earliest practicable date thereafter. Absent acceleration, the Amendment would become effective on June 21, 2020.
The Amendment was filed pursuant to Rule 485(a) under the Securities Act for the purpose of adding additional principal strategy and risk disclosure for the Funds. The Trust notes that it does not have a principal distributor or underwriter. Accordingly, this acceleration request is being solely requested by the Trust.
If you have any questions concerning this request, please contact Andrew Davalla at (614) 469-3353.
