Gentlemen:
Re: Rule 24f-2 Opinion
As Massachusetts counsel to Midwest Strategic Trust ("Trust"),
we have been requested to render an opinion in connection with the
filing by the Trust of a Rule 24f-2 Notice with respect to the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1995 (the "Notice").
Reference is made to paragraph (v) of the Notice, as
supplemented by Note 1 ("Calculation of the Filing Fee") thereto,
wherein the Trust reports that 2,820,748 shares of the Trust (collectively
the "Shares" and consisting of 659,818 shares of the U.S. Government
Securities Fund, 615,246 Class A shares of the Treasury Total Return
Fund, 1,445 Class C shares of the Treasury Total Return Fund, 957,832
Class A shares of the Utility Fund, 275,119 Class C shares of the Utility
Fund, 204,545 Class A shares of the Equity Fund, 39, 721 Class C
shares of the Equity Fund and 67,022 shares of the U.S. Government
Long Maturity Fund) were sold during such fiscal year in reliance upon
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Rule 24f-2
under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
We have examined the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of
the Trust as restated and amended to date, the Bylaws of the Trust, a
certificate of the Secretary of the Trust concerning certain actions by
the Trustees of the Trust, the current Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information relating to the above-mentioned funds of the
Trust, and the form of the Rule 24f-2 Notice.
Based upon the foregoing and assuming that all of such shares
were sold in accordance with the terms of the respective Prospectus in
effect at the time of sale, in our opinion the Shares have been legally
issued and are fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Goodwin, Procter & Hoar
