Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for you in connection with the
preparation of a Registration Statement on Form N-1A and amendments
thereto relating to the sale by you of an indefinite amount of
CharterCapital Blue Chip 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. In this connection, we
have examined: (a) the Registration Statement on Form N-1A and all
amendments thereto; (b) the Rule 24f-2 Notice for CharterCapital Blue Chip
Growth Fund, Inc. dated January 17,1997; (c) corporate proceedings
relative to the authorization for issuance of shares of the Stock; and (d)
such other proceedings, documents and records as we deemed necessary to
enable us to render this opinion.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of
Stock sold in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 in reliance upon
registration pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of
1940 and in the manner set forth in the Registration Statement were
legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable except insofar as statutory
liability may be imposed under Section 180.0622(2)(b) of the Wisconsin
Statutes for unpaid wage claims of employees, not to exceed six months'
service in any one case. We have not examined the stock register books of
CharterCapital Blue Chip Growth Fund, Inc. In opining that the shares of
Stock sold in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 were fully paid, we
have relied upon a certificate of an officer of Firstar Trust Company, the
transfer agent for CharterCapital Blue Chip Growth Fund, Inc., as to the
consideration received for such shares.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in connection with
the filing of the Rule 24f-2 Notice for CharterCapital Blue Chip Growth
Fund, Inc. for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. 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,
FOLEY & LARDNER
