Gentlemen:
I have examined the Articles of Incorporation of Hartford Index Fund, Inc.
(hereafter referred to as "Fund"); the By-Laws of the Fund; documents evidencing
various pertinent corporate proceedings; and such other things considered to be
material to determine the legality of the sale of the authorized but unissued
shares of the Fund's stock. Based upon my examination, it is my opinion that
the Fund is a validly organized and existing corporation of the State of
Maryland and it is legally authorized to issue up to 400,000,000 shares of
common stock of a par value of ten cents (10 CENTS) per share, at prices
determined as described in the Fund's currently effective Prospectus, when such
shares are properly registered under all applicable federal and state securities
laws.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, all of the Fund's shares were
registered pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Fund's shares were, when
issued for cash consideration as described in the Fund's currently effective
prospectus, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable stock of the Fund.
I hereby consent to the inclusion of this Opinion as an Exhibit to the Rule
24f-2 Notice (1995) of Hartford Index Fund, Inc.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Michael O'Halloran
Michael O'Halloran
Secretary
