In its Registration Statement, the Trust elected to register an indefinite number of shares pursuant to the provisions of Investment Company Act Rule 24f- 2. As counsel, I have participated in the preparation and filing of the Trust's amended Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933. Further, I have examined and am familiar with the provisions of the Declaration of Trust dated January 24, 1986, ("Declaration of Trust"), the Bylaws of the Trust and such other documents and records deemed relevant. I have also reviewed questions of law and consulted with counsel thereon as deemed necessary or appropriate by me for the purposes of this opinion. On the basis of the foregoing, it is my opinion the Shares sold for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995, registration of which the Rule 24f-2 Notice makes definite in number, were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Trust. I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Rule 24f-2 Notice referred to above, the Registration Statement of the Trust and to any application or registration statement filed under the securities laws of any of the States of the United States. The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and I am expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
