         RE:      Phoenix-Aberdeen Worldwide Opportunities Fund (the "Fund")
                  Post Effective Amendment No. 69 to Registration Statement
                  No. 2-16590

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This opinion is furnished in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of shares (the "Shares") of the
above-referenced Fund. In rendering this opinion, I have examined such
documents, records and matters of law as deemed necessary for purposes of this
opinion. I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures of all parties, the
authenticity of all documents submitted as originals, the correctness of all
copies and the correctness of all written or oral statement made to me.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Shares
that will be issued by the Fund when sold will be legally issued, fully paid,
and non-assessable.

     My opinion is rendered solely in connection with the Registration Statement
on Form N-IA under which the Shares will be registered and may not be relied
upon for any other purpose without my written consent. I hereby consent to the
use of this opinion as an exhibit to such Registration Statement.


                                           Very truly yours,



                                           /s/ Nancy J. Engberg
                                           Nancy J. Engberg
