Gentlemen:
You have requested my opinion for use in conjunction with a Rule 24f-2
Notice for Federated Investment Trust ("Trust") to be filed in respect of shares
of the Trust ("Shares") sold for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1996, pursuant to
the Trust's registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 33-00053)
("Registration Statement").
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 October 3, 1995, ("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 May 31, 1996, 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.
Very truly yours,
/s/ S. Elliott Cohan
