CBA Money Fund
633 Third Avenue
New York, New York 10017
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for CBA Money Fund, a trust organized under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the "Fund"), in connection with the
organization of the Fund, its registration as an open-end investment company
under the Investment Company Act 1940 and the registration of an indefinite
number of its shares of beneficial interest, par value $.10 per share (the
"Shares"), under the Securities Act of 1933 to be effected pursuant to a
registration statement on Form N-1A (Form No. 2-82766), as amended (the
"Registration Statement").
As counsel for the Fund, we are familiar with the proceedings taken by it
in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Shares. In
addition, we have examined and are familiar with the Restated Declaration of
Trust of the Fund, as amended, the By-Laws of the Fund and such other documents
as we have deemed relevant to the matters referred to in this opinion.
Based upon the foregoing we are of the opinion that the Shares, upon
issuance and sale in the manner referred to in the Registration Statement for
consideration not less than the par value thereof, will be legally issued, fully
paid and non-assessable shares of beneficial interest of the Fund.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the use of our name in the prospectus and
statement of additional information constituting parts thereof.
Very truly yours,
Brown, Wood, Ivey, Mitchell & Petty
