   Monitrend Mutual Fund
   272 Closter Dock Road
   Closter, New Jersey  07624

   Gentlemen:

             We have acted as counsel for you in connection with the
   preparation of an amended Registration Statement on Form N-1A relating to
   the sale by you of an indefinite amount of shares of beneficial interest,
   no par value, of the PIA Adjustable Rate Government Securities Series,
   Gaming and Leisure Series, Technology Series, Growth Series, Government
   Series, Gold Series and Growth & Income Series of Monitrend Mutual Fund
   in the manner set forth in the amended Registration Statement.  In this
   connection, we have examined:  (a) the amended Registration Statement on
   Form N-1A; (b) the Rule 24f-2 Notice for Monitrend Mutual Fund dated
   January 29, 1996; (c) Monitrend Mutual Fund's Declaration of Trust, as
   amended; (d) corporate proceedings relative to the authorization for
   issuance of shares of beneficial interest of the PIA Adjustable Rate
   Government Securities Series, Gaming and Leisure Series, Technology
   Series, Growth Series, Government Series, Gold Series and Growth & Income
   Series; and (e) 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
   beneficial interest of the PIA Adjustable Rate Government Securities
   Series, Gaming and Leisure Series, Technology Series, Growth Series,
   Government Series, Gold Series and Growth & Income Series sold in the fiscal
   year ended November 30, 1995 in reliance upon registration pursuant to
   Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and in the manner set
   forth in the amended Registration Statement were legally issued, fully
   paid and nonassessable.  We have not examined the share register books of
   Monitrend Mutual Fund.  In opining that the shares of beneficial interest
   sold in the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995 were fully paid, we have
   relied upon a certificate of an officer of Monitrend Mutual Fund's
   Administrator 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 Monitrend Mutual Fund for its
   fiscal year ended November 30, 1995.  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
