Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for you in connection with the preparation of
an Amended Registration Statement on Form N-1A relating to the sale by you of an
indefinite amount of Fiduciary Capital Growth Fund, Inc. Common Stock, $.01 par
value (such Common Stock being hereinafter referred to as the "Stock") in the
manner set forth in the Registration Statement to which reference is made. In
this connection we have examined: (a) the Amended Registration Statement on Form
N-1A; (b) your Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, as amended to date; (c)
corporate proceedings relative to the authorization for issuance of the Stock;
and (d) such other proceedings, documents and records as we have deemed
necessary to enable us to render this opinion.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of
Stock when sold as contemplated in the Amended Registration Statement will be
legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable, except insofar as statutory
liability may be imposed under Section 180.0622(2)(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Amended Registration Statement on Form N-1A. In giving this consent, we do not
admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or within the category of persons whose consent is required
by Section 7 of said Act.
Very truly yours,
/s/ FOLEY & LARDNER
