Re: Lexington Convertible Securities Fund,
Registration No. 33-10543
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Lexington Convertible Securities
Fund, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"), since May 12, 1992
in connection with the public offering of the Trust's shares of
beneficial interest with $0.10 par value, and on various other
securities and general matters. We understand that, pursuant to Rule
24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("Investment
Company Act"), the Trust has registered an indefinite number of shares
of beneficial interest under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
("Securities Act"). We further understand that, pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 24f-2, the Trust is filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission the Notice attached hereto making definite the
registration of shares of beneficial interest (the "Shares") sold in
reliance upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.
We have reviewed, insofar as it relates or pertains to the
Trust, the Trust's Registration Statement on Form N-1A, as amended to
the date hereof, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act, pursuant to which the
Shares were sold (the "Registration Statement"). We have also examined
originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction of such documents, trust records and other instruments we
have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion.
For purposes of such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures and original documents and the conformity to the original
documents of all copies submitted.
We are members only of the New York Bar and do not purport
to be experts on the laws of any other state. Our opinion herein as to
Massachusetts law is based upon a limited inquiry thereof which we have
deemed appropriate under the circumstances.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Shares have been duly and validly authorized and, assuming that the
Shares have been issued and sold in accordance with the Trust's
Declaration of Trust, as amended, and Registration Statement, the Shares
which the Rule 24f-2 Notice attached hereto makes definite in number
were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion with the Rule 24f-2
Notice attached hereto.
Very truly yours,
Kramer, Levin, Naftalis, Nessen, Kamin & Frankel
