Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

   
KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) was previously the independent registered public accounting firm for the Shelton Greater China Fund (formerly, the Taiwan Greater China Fund) (the “Trust”). Effective June 15, 2011, KPMG was dismissed as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm and effective June 20, 2011, Tait, Weller & Baker, LLP was engaged to audit the Trust’s financial statements for the 2011 fiscal year.
 
The decision to change independent registered public accounting firms was approved by the Audit Committee of the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") and ratified by the full Board.

KPMG's report on the Trust’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
 
During the Trust’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, and through the interim period ended June 15, 2011, there were no: (1) disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, or (2) reportable events.
 
The Trust has provided KPMG with a copy of this filing and requested that KPMG furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) stating whether it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of this filing, along with KPMG's response will be filed as an exhibit with the Trust’s next Form N-SAR (in accordance with Sub-Item 77k of Form N-SAR).
