RE: Rule 24f-2 Notice for Anchor International Bond Trust
Dear Sirs:
You have requested our opinion in accordance with the
requirements of Rule 24-f2(b) (1) under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as it relates to shares of beneficial
interest issued during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 by
Anchor International Bond Trust, a Massachusetts business trust
with transferable shares (the "Trust"), established under an
Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated April 10, 1986, as
amended and restated on September 3, 1986 (the "Declaration")
We have acted as counsel to the Trust in connection with the
drafting, execution and delivery of the Rule 24f-2 Notice. In
this connection, we have reviewed the Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information included in the Trust's Registration
Statement amendment on Form N-lA, the Declaration, the By-Laws of
the Trust, Certificates of Trustees and Officers of the Trust and
of public officials as to matters of fact, the prior opinions of
counsel responsible for the organization of the Trust, and such
other documents and instruments, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, and such questions of law and
fact as we have considered necessary or appropriate for purposes
of the opinions expressed herein. We have assumed the
genuineness of the signatures on, and the authenticity of, all
documents furnished to us, and the conformity to the originals of
documents submitted to us as certified copies, which facts we
have not independently verified.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we hereby advise you
that, in our opinion, the Trust is authorized to issue an
Anchor International Bond Trust
February 23, 1996
Page 2
unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust,
without par value (the 1'Shares") , and the Shares issued during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 have been legally issued
and are fully paid and non-assessable. In this connection, we
note that the shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust
under some circumstances may be subject to assessment at the
instance of creditors to pay the obligations of such trust in the
event that trust assets are insufficient to do so.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Trust's
Rule 24f-2 Notice. In giving such consent, we do not thereby
admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent
is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
Very truly yours,
YUKEVICH, BLUME, MARCHETTI
& ZANGRILLI, P.C.
