EXHIBIT "A"
February 28, 1996
Vanguard Quantitative Portfolios, Inc.
100 Vanguard Boulevard
Malvern, PA 19355
Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice for Vanguard Quantitative Portfolios, Inc.
Gentlemen:
Vanguard Quantitative Portfolios, Inc. (the "Fund"), is a corporation organized
under Maryland law. I have acted as legal counsel to the Fund since its
initial registration as an open-ended management investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"), as amended. It is my capacity as
counsel to the Fund that I am furnishing you this opinion.
I have examined the Fund's: (1) Articles of Incorporation and amendments
thereto; (2) minutes of the meetings of shareholders and Directors; (3)
Notification of Registration on Form N-8A under the 1940 Act; (4) Registration
on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act") and 1940 Act, and
all amendments thereto; and (5) all other relevant documents and records, as
well as the procedures and requirements relative to the issuance and sale of
the Fund's shares of common stock ("shares").
My examination also disclosed the following information:
The Fund is legally authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares with a par value
of $.001 per share. On December 31, 1995, the Fund had 45,593,729 shares
issued and outstanding.
1. On January 1, 1995, (the beginning of the Fund's last fiscal year), the
Fund had no shares registered under the 1933 Act other than pursuant to
Rule 24f-2 of the 1940 Act, but which remained unsold on that date.
2. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund did not register
any shares under the 1933 Act other than pursuant to Rule 24f-2.
3. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund sold 13,516,935
shares at an aggregate sales price of $252,085,743 in reliance upon
registration pursuant to Rule 24f-2 of the 1940 Act. During the same
fiscal year, the Fund redeemed 6,225,480 shares at an aggregate redemption
price of $112,359,495.
<PAGE> 4
You have instructed me to file, on behalf of the Fund, a Notice pursuant to Rule
24f-2 of the 1940 Act, for the purpose of registering, under the 1933 Act, the
13,516,935 shares which were sold by the Fund during the fiscal year in reliance
upon Rule 24f-2 of the 1940 Act.
Based on the foregoing information and my examination, it is my opinion that:
1. The Fund is a validly organized and subsisting corporation of the State of
Maryland, legally authorized to issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares of its
common stock of par value of $.001 per share.
2. The proposed registration of 13,516,935 shares of the Fund's common stock
pursuant to Rule 24f-2 of the 1940 Act is proper;
3. Such shares, which were issued for a consideration deemed by the Directors
to be consistent with the Articles of Incorporation, were legally
authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and
4. The holders of such shares have the rights provided with respect to such
holdings by the Articles of Incorporation and the laws of the State of
Maryland.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Rule 24f-2
Notice filed on behalf of the Fund, covering the registration of such shares
under the 1933 Act, and the applications and registration statements, and
amendments thereto, filed in accordance with the securities laws of the states
to which shares of the Fund are offered. I further consent to reference in the
Prospectus of the Fund to the fact that this opinion concerning the legality of
the issue has been rendered by me.
Very truly yours,
BY: RAYMOND J. KLAPINSKY
