          The GCG Trust
          280 Park Avenue
          New York, New York  10017

          Dear Sirs:

                    As counsel for  The GCG Trust (the  "Trust") during the
          fiscal year  ended December  31, 1995, we  are familiar  with the
          Trust's registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and
          with  the  registration  statement  relating  to  its  shares  of
          beneficial  interest (the "Shares")  under the Securities  Act of
          1933 (File No. 33-23512) (the "Registration Statement").  We have
          also examined such other corporate records, agreements, documents
          and instruments as we deemed appropriate.

                    Based  upon the  foregoing,  it  is  our  opinion  with
          respect to  the Shares  the registration of  which is  being made
          definite  by  the  Notice  pursuant  to  Rule  24f-2  under   the
          Investment Company  Act of  1940 ("Notice")  being  filed by  the
          Trust for its fiscal year  ended December 31, 1995, assuming such
          Shares were  sold at the  public offering price and  delivered by
          the Trust against receipt of the net asset value of the Shares in
          compliance with the  terms of the Registration Statement  and the
          requirements of applicable law, that such Shares were, when sold,
          duly  and validly authorized,  legally and validly  issued, fully
          paid, and non-assessable by the Trust.

                    We consent  to the filing of this opinion in connection
          with  the Notice on Form 24F-2 to  be filed by the Trust with the
          Securities  and Exchange Commission  for the Trust's  fiscal year
          ended December 31, 1995.


                                             Very truly yours,



                                             /s/ Dechert Price & Rhoads
