Ladies and Gentlemen:
SEI Index Funds (the "Trust") is a trust organized under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts with its principal place of business in Boston,
Massachusetts. The Trust is about to file a Rule 24f-2 Notice pursuant to Rule
24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act")
for the purpose of making definite the number of shares of beneficial interest
("Shares") which it has registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, (the "Securities Act") and which it sold during its fiscal year ended
March 31, 1995.
As counsel to SEI Financial Services Company, I have examined copies, either
certified or otherwise proved to be genuine, of its Agreement and Declaration
of Trust, and By-Laws, as now in effect, the minutes of meetings of its
Trustees and other documents relating to the Trust's organization and
operation, as I have deemed necessary in rendering this opinion. I have been
advised that during its fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Trust sold
17,975,263 Shares at an aggregate sales price of $266,114,551 (which , when
subtracted from the dollar amount of shares registered other than pursuant to
rule 24f-2 that remained unsold at the beginning of the fiscal year ended March
31, 1995 ($247,746,939), equals net sales of $18,367,612), and redeemed
20,024,595 Shares having an aggregate redemption price of $291,512,214. Based
upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
1. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Shares,
including those Shares now issued and outstanding.
2. The Shares sold during the Trust's fiscal year ended March 31, 1995,
the registration of which will be made definite by the filing of a
Rule 24f-2 Notice, were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
I express no legal opinion with respect to compliance with the
Securities Act, the 1940 Act or applicable state securities laws in
connection with the sale of such Shares.

The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts business
trust". Under Massachusetts law, shareholders could, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the Trust. The
Declaration of Trust states that creditors of, contractors with and claimants
against the Trust shall look only to the assets of the Trust for payment. It
also requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in each contract or
instrument made or issued by the officers or the Trustees of the Trust on
behalf of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust further provides: (i) for
indemnification out of Trust assets for all loss and expense of any shareholder
held personally liable for the obligations of the Trust by virtue of ownership
of Shares of the Trust; and (ii) for the Trust to assume the defense of any
claim against the shareholder for any act or obligation of the Trust. Thus,
the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder
liability is limited to circumstances in which the Trust would be unable to
meet its obligations.
I hereby consent to this opinion accompanying the Rule 24f-2 Notice which the
Trust is about to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,
Robert B. Carroll
