Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice for Sierra Trust Funds
(File Nos. 33-27489 and 811-5775)
Gentlemen:
Sierra Trust Funds (the "Fund") is a business trust organized under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with its principal
executive offices in Northridge, California. The Fund is an open-
end management investment company with diversified and non-
diversified series registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). This opinion relates to shares
of beneficial interest, without par value, sold by the Fund in
reliance upon Rule 24f-2 during its fiscal year ended June 30,
1997, the registration of which is made definite by the filing of
the attached Notice.
We have reviewed all proceedings taken by the Fund in connection
with the offer and sale of an unlimited number of the shares of
beneficial interest, without par value, which have been offered
under prospectuses included as part of the Fund's Registration
Statement on Form N-1A, as amended to the date hereof, which has
been filed with the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended and the 1940 Act (collectively, the "Registration
Statement").
We are of the opinion that such shares of beneficial interest sold
pursuant to the Registration Statement were, when issued in return
for the payment described in the Fund's prospectuses included as
part of the Fund's Registration Statement, legally issued, fully
paid and nonassessable by the Fund.
Very truly yours,
/s/Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP
