[THE DIVERSIFIED INVESTORS STRATEGIC ALLOCATIONS FUNDS LETTERHEAD]
February 25, 1997
The Diversified Investors Strategic Allocations Funds
4 Manhattanville Road
Purchase, New York 10577
Dear Sirs:
I have reviewed the procedures under which The Diversified Investors Stratigie
Allocations Funds elected to register an indefinite amount of securities under
the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as well as the preparation of the accompanying Notice making
definite in number the $5,675,181 amount of said securities registered pursuant
to that Rule for the year 1996.
In my opinion these securities, the registration of which the accompanying
Notice makes definite in number, were legally issued, fully paid, and
non-assessable.
I hereby consent to your forwarding this opinion to the Securities and Exchange
Commission in connection with your Rule 24f-2 Notice and to any reference that
might at any time be made to it or to me in any amendment to the registration
statement on Form N-1A or otherwise for these securities.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Robert F. Colby
