Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice for AIM Investment
Securities Funds - Securities Act
File No. 33-39519
------------------------------------
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to AIM Investment Securities Funds (the
"Fund"), a Delaware business trust registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management,
series investment company.
We have been informed that a registration statement on Form N-1A, as
amended (the "Registration Statement") relating to an indefinite number of
shares of beneficial interest in the Fund (the "Shares") has been filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933
(Securities Act File No. 33-39519).
We further understand that, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 24f-2,
the Fund is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission a notice (the
"Notice") making definite the registration of such Shares sold in reliance on
Rule 24f-2 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1996. Specifically, we have been
informed by the Fund that a total of 32,623,205 Shares (representing interests
in a series portfolio existing during such fiscal year) were issued from time
to time during such fiscal year under Prospectuses which were included as part
of the Registration Statement. The Fund has requested our opinion in
connection with the filing of such Notice, for inclusion in such filing.

In connection with our giving of this opinion, we have examined a copy
of the Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as amended, and originals or
copies, Certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other
documents as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this
opinion. As to various questions of fact material to our opinion, we have
relied upon information provided by officers of the Fund.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the 32,623,205
Shares issued by the Fund during its fiscal year ended July 31, 1996 were, when
issued for payment as described in the Fund's Prospectuses referred to above,
legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Fund.
Both the Delaware Business Trust Act and the Fund's Agreement and
Declaration of Trust, as amended (the "Trust Agreement"), provide that
shareholders of the Fund shall be entitled to the same limitation on personal
liability as is extended under the Delaware General Corporation Law to
stockholders of private corporations for profit. There is a remote
possibility, however, that, under certain circumstances, shareholders of a
Delaware business trust may be held personally liable for the trust's
obligations to the extent that the courts of another state which does not
recognize such limited liability were to apply the laws of such state to a
controversy involving such obligations. The Trust Agreement also provides for
indemnification out of Fund property for all loss and expense of any
shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the Fund. Therefore,
the risk of any shareholder incurring financial loss beyond his investment due
to shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Fund itself
is unable to meet its obligations and the express disclaimer of shareholder
liabilities is determined not to be effective.
Very truly yours,
/s/ BALLARD SPAHR ANDREWS & INGERSOLL
