Dear Sir or Madam:
G.T. Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the "Registrant") was
incorporated in Maryland on July 13, 1981. We understand that the
Registrant is about to file Post-Effective Amendment No. 22 to its
Registration Statement on Form N-1A for the purpose of registering
additional shares of capital stock of its only series, GT Global Dollar
Fund (the "Fund"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933
Act"), pursuant to Section 24(e)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended ("1940 Act").
We have, as counsel, participated in various business and other
proceedings relating to the Registrant. We have examined copies, either
certified or otherwise proved to be genuine, of the Registrant's Articles
of Incorporation and By-Laws, as now in effect, the minutes of meetings of
its Board of Directors and other documents relating to its organization
and operation, and we are generally familiar with its corporate affairs.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the shares of capital
stock of the Fund currently being registered pursuant to Section 24(e)(1)
as reflected in Post-Effective Amendment No. 22, when sold in accordance
with the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, will be
legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable, subject to compliance with
the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act and applicable state laws regulating the offer
and sale of securities.
We hereby consent to this opinion accompanying Post-Effective
Amendment No. 22 which you are about to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. We also consent to the reference to our firm under
