Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice
for BEA Investment Funds, Inc.
(Securities Act File No. 33-22120;
Investment Company Act File No. 811-5568
----------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested that we, as counsel to BEA Investment Funds, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the "Fund"), render an opinion in connection with the filing by the
Fund of a notice required by Rule 24f-2 (the "Rule") under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), on Form 24F-2 (the "Form"),
for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. We understand that the Fund
has previously filed a registration statement on Form N-1A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), adopting the declaration authorized by
paragraph (a)(1) of the Rule to the effect that an indefinite number of shares
of common stock of the Fund (the "Shares") was being registered by such
registration statement. The effect of the Notice, when accompanied by the filing
fee, if any, payable as prescribed by paragraph (c) of the Rule and by this
opinion, will be to make definite in number the number of Shares sold by the
Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 in reliance upon the Rule
(the "Rule 24f-2 Shares").
We have examined the Fund's Articles of Incorporation, its By-Laws, resolutions
adopted by its Board of Directors, and other records, documents, papers,
statutes and authorities as we have deemed necessary to form a basis for the
opinion hereinafter expressed.
<PAGE>
On the basis of the foregoing, and assuming compliance with the 1933 Act, the
1940 Act and applicable state laws regulating the sale of securities, and
assuming further that all of the Rule 24f-2 Shares sold during the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1995 were sold in accordance with the terms of the Fund's
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information in effect at the time of sale
at a sales price in each case in excess of the par value of the Rule 24f-2
Shares, we are of the opinion that such Rule 24f-2 Shares were validly and
legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Fund.
We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and do not hold ourselves out
as being conversant with the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the
United States of America and the State of New York. We note that we are not
licensed to practice law in the State of Maryland, and to the extent that any
opinion expressed herein involves the law of Maryland, such opinion should be
understood to be based solely upon our review of the documents referred to
above, the published statutes of that state, and where applicable, published
cases, rules or regulations of regulatory bodies of that state.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in connection with the Notice.
