         RE:  NOTICE PURSUANT TO RULE 24F-2 UNDER THE INVESTMENT
              COMPANY ACT OF 1940 ("1940 ACT")


Gentlemen:

         I am Senior Vice President of and General Counsel to Keystone
Investment Management Company (formerly named Keystone Custodian Funds, Inc.),
investment adviser to Keystone Global Opportunities Fund (the "Fund"). You have
asked for my opinion with respect to the issuance of 8,802,385 shares of the
Fund under the Fund's Declaration of Trust ("Declaration of Trust"), and
pursuant to the Fund's indefinite registration of such shares pursuant to Rule
24f-2 under the 1940 Act. The Fund is filing its Rule 24f-2 Notice to which this
opinion is appended to make the issuance of such shares definite in number for
fiscal year ended September 30, 1995.

         To my knowledge, a Prospectus is on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as part of Post-Effective Amendment No. 11 to the
Registration Statement covering the public offering and sale of the Fund's
shares for the period during which such shares were issued.

         In my opinion, such shares, if issued and sold in accordance with the
Fund's Declaration of Trust, By-Laws, as amended, ("By-Laws") and offering
Prospectus, were legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable by the Fund,
entitling the holders thereof to the rights set forth in the Declaration of
Trust and By-Laws and subject to the limitations stated therein.

         My opinion is based upon my examination of the Declaration of Trust; a
review of the minutes of the Fund's Board of Trustees, signed by the Secretary
of the Fund, authorizing the registration of shares pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under
the 1940 Act and 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 the Rule
24f-2 Notice filed by the Fund making definite the number of such additional
shares issued.


                                               Sincerely yours,


                                           /s/ Rosemary D. Van Antwerp
                                               ----------------------------
                                               Rosemary D. Van Antwerp
