Keystone Omega Fund
200 Berkeley Street
Boston, Massachusetts  02116-5034


         RE:      NOTICE PURSUANT TO RULE 24F-2 UNDER THE INVESTMENT
                  COMPANY ACT OF 1940 ("1940 ACT")


Gentlemen:

     I am a Senior Vice President of and General Counsel to Keystone Investment
Management Company (formerly named Custodian Funds, Inc.), investment adviser to
Keystone Omega Fund (the "Fund"). You have asked for my opinion with respect to
the issuance of 2,232,747 additional shares of the Fund under the Fund's
Declaration of Trust and pursuant to the Fund's indefinite registration of such
shares under Rule 24f-2 under the 1940 Act. The Fund is filing its Rule 24f-2
Notice to which this opinion is appended to make the issuance of such shares
definite in number for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

         To my knowledge, a Prospectus is on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as part of Post-Effective Amendment No. 25 to the Fund's
Registration Statement covering the public offering and sale of the Fund's
shares for the period during which such shares were issued.

         In my opinion, such shares, if issued and sold in accordance with the
Fund's Declaration of Trust, By-Laws, as amended ("By-Laws"), and offering
Prospectus, were legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable by the Fund,
entitling the holders thereof to the rights set forth in the Articles of
Incorporation and By-Laws and subject to the limitations stated therein.

  My opinion is based upon my examination of the Declaration of Trust; a review
of the minutes of the Fund's Board of Trustees authorizing the registration of
shares pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the 1940 Act and the issuance of such
additional shares; and the Fund's Prospectus. In my examination of such
documents, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the conformity
of copies to originals.

     I hereby consent to the use of this opinion in connection with the Fund's
Rule 24f-2 Notice making definite the number of such additional shares issued.


                                               Sincerely yours,

                                               /s/ Rosemary D. Van Antwerp

                                               Rosemary D. Van Antwerp
                                               Senior Vice President and
                                               General Counsel
