Keystone Fund for Total Return
200 Berkeley Street
Boston, Massachusetts  02116-5034

Gentlemen:

         I am a Senior Vice President of and General Counsel to Keystone
Investment Management Company (formerly named Keystone Custodian Funds, Inc.)
investment adviser to Keystone Fund for Total Return (the "Fund"). You have
asked for my opinion with respect to the proposed issuance of 406,742 additional
shares of the Fund.

         To my knowledge, a Prospectus is on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") as part of Post-Effective Amendment No.
16 to the Fund's Registration Statement, which covers the public offering and
sale of the Fund shares currently registered with the Commission.

         In my opinion, such additional shares, if issued and sold in accordance
with the Fund's Declaration of Trust Agreement, as amended, and offering
Prospectus, will be legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable by the Fund,
entitling the holders thereof to the rights set forth in the Declaration of
Trust and subject to the limitations set forth therein.

         My opinion is based upon my examination of the Fund's Declaration of
Trust and By-Laws, as amended; a review of the minutes of the Fund's Board of
Trustees authorizing the issuance of such additional shares; and the Fund's
Prospectus. In my examination of such documents, I have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures and the conformity of copies to originals.

         I hereby consent to the use of this opinion in connection with
Post-Effective Amendment No. 17 to the Fund's Registration Statement, which
covers the registration of such additional shares.


                                                     Very truly yours,



                                                     Rosemary D. Van Antwerp
                                                     Senior Vice President and
