RE: Registration Statement No. 2-16590
Gentlemen:
I have served as counsel to the Phoenix Worldwide Opportunities Fund in
connection with the registration on Form N-1A of an indefinite number of its
shares of beneficial interest under the Securities Act of 1933 and the
subsequent notification with respect to 5,634,092 such shares sold in reliance
upon Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1995 (the "Shares").
Based on my review of the relevant materials, it is my opinion that the
Shares are duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. I consent to the use of
this opinion in connection with the Rule 24f-2 Notice to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Patricia O. McLaughlin
