Re: Issuance and Sale of Shares of Beneficial Interest
of Nations Fund Trust; Registration on Form N-1A
Pursuant to Rule 24f-2
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Nations Fund Trust (the "Trust") has requested our opinion in connection
with the sale or issuance by the Trust of 4,076,484,822 shares of beneficial
interest (the "Shares"), in the aggregate, of all classes of Shares of all
portfolios of the Trust (collectively, the "Funds").
We have examined documents relating to the organization of the Trust and
the authorization for registration and sale of Shares of each of the Funds. The
opinion given below only relates to the law of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, the laws under which the Trust was organized, and is subject to
the condition that the Trust is in compliance with the provisions of any
applicable laws, regulations and permits of any state or foreign country in
which any Shares of any of the Funds are sold.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
The issuance and sale of the Shares by the Trust have been duly and
validly authorized by all appropriate action and, assuming delivery by sale or
in accord with the Funds' dividend reinvestment plan was in accordance with the
description set forth in the Trust's current prospectuses under the Securities
Act of 1933, the Shares have been legally issued, fully paid and are
non-assessable.
We consent to the submission of a copy of this opinion to the Securities
and Exchange Commission in connection with the filing of the Trust's Rule 24f-2
Notice, as amended, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Very truly yours,
/S/ MORRISON & FOERSTER LLP
