                 Re:      RULE 24F-2 NOTICE



Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  We understand that UBS Private Investor Funds, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the "Fund"), is about to file a Rule 24f-2 Notice with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, making definite the registration of 137,339
shares of the Fund's UBS U.S. Equity Fund Series Common Stock, par value $.001
per share, 108,567 shares of the Fund's UBS Bond Fund Series Common Stock, par
value $.001 per share and 304,954 shares of the Fund's UBS International Equity
Fund Series Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (collectively, the
"Shares"), sold pursuant to Rule 24f-2 during the Fund's fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996.

                  We are familiar with the Fund's Charter and Bylaws. We have
examined the Rule 24f-2 Notice and the Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information included in the Fund's Registration Statement on Form N-1A, as
amended (the "Prospectus"), and have examined and relied upon such corporate
records of the Fund and other documents and certificates as to factual matters
as we deem necessary for the purpose of this opinion, including a certificate of
the Fund's Treasurer to the effect, among other things, that during the Fund's
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
each class did not, at any time, exceed the number of such shares of each such
class authorized in the Fund's Charter.

                  We have also examined and relied upon a certificate of the
Fund's Treasurer to the effect that the Fund or its authorized agent received
the authorized payment for the Shares and that the Shares were issued in
accordance with the terms described in the Prospectus. We have also assumed,
without independent verification, the genuineness of signatures on, and the
authenticity of, all documents furnished to us and the conformity of copies to
the originals.

                  Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:


           1. The Fund is a duly organized and validly existing corporation
under the laws of the State of Maryland; and

           2. The Shares of the Fund covered by the Rule 24f-2 Notice and
registered pursuant thereto, when issued, were validly and legally issued and
fully paid and nonassessable under the laws of the State of Maryland.

                  This letter expresses our opinion with respect to the Maryland
General Corporation Law governing matters such as the authorization and issuance
of stock. It does not extend to the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of Maryland,
to federal securities laws or to other laws.

                  We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Fund's Rule 24f-2 Notice for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. In giving
this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are experts with respect to any
part of the Registration Statement within the meaning of the term "expert" as
used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of
the Commission issued thereunder. This opinion may not be relied upon by any
other person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent.



                                          Very truly yours,


                                          /s/ VENABLE, BAETJER AND HOWARD, LLP
