                         and Growth Stock Fund, each a series of shares of
                         beneficial interest of PIMCO Funds;

               2.        Signature pages; and

               3.        Exhibit 10, the opinion and consent of Dechert
                         Price & Rhoads, counsel to the Registrant, as to
                         the legality of the shares being registered.

               With the exception of the items listed above, this Post-
          Effective Amendment No. 26 under the Securities Act of 1933
          incorporates by reference all materials filed as part of Post-
          Effective Amendment No. 25 to Form N-1A for PIMCO Funds, File No.
          33-12113.

               The sole purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 26 is
          to register a definite number of additional shares of beneficial
          interest to PIMCO Funds, pursuant to Section 24(e) of the
          Investment Company Act of 1940.  This amendment is being filed
          pursuant to SEC News Release 95-241, to reduce the unsold amount
          of the offering registered by Post-Effective Amendment No. 25,
          filed on November 16, 1995, so that the fee paid will be equal to
          1/29th of one percent of the reduced total offering amount
          registered.

PIMCO Funds
840 Newport Center Drive
Newport, California  92660

Dear Sirs:

     As counsel for PIMCO Funds (the "Trust"), we are familiar with
the registration of the Trust under the Investment Company Act of
1940 and the registration statement relating to its Shares of
Beneficial Interest (the "Shares") under the Securities Act of 1933
(File No. 33-12113) (the "Registration Statement").  We also have
examined such other corporate records, agreements, documents and
instruments as we deemed appropriate.

     Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares
being registered pursuant to Post-Effective Amendment No. 26 to the
Trust's Registration Statement will, when sold in accordance with
the terms of the Registration Statement and the prospectus included
therein and delivered by the Trust against receipt of the net asset
value of the Shares, have been duly and validly authorized and
issued as fully paid and non-assessable Shares of the Trust.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion in connection with
said Post-Effective Amendment No. 26 which is filed pursuant to
Section 24(e) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 on behalf of
the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  This
opinion supercedes and replaces our opinion filed with Post-
Effective Amendment No. 25 on November 16, 1995.

                                   Very truly yours,



                                   Dechert Price & Rhoads
