TITLE       VICE PRES. & SEC.   
 



      
      
      August 10, 1995
      
      
      To the Board of Trustees of
      New World Investment Fund
      
      In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of
      New World Investment Fund (the "Fund") for the year ended June 30,
      1995, we considered its internal control structure, including
      procedures for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our
      auditing procedures for the purposes of expressing our opinion on
      the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of
      Form N-SAR, and not to provide assurance on the internal control
      structure.
      
      The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and
      maintaining an internal control structure.  In fulfilling this
      responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required
      to assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal
      control structure policies and procedures.  Two of the objectives
      of an internal control structure are to provide management with
      reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are
      appropriately safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or
      disposition and that transactions are executed in accordance with
      management's authorization and recorded properly to permit
      preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles.
      
      Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure,
      errors or irregularities may occur and not be detected.  Also,
      projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is
      subject to the risk that it may become inadequate because of
      changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and
      operation may deteriorate.
      
      Our consideration of the internal control structure would not
      necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control structure
      that might be material weaknesses under standards established by
      the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A material
      weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of the
      specific internal control structure elements does not reduce to a
      relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in
      amounts that would be material in relation to the financial
      statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a
      timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their
      assigned functions.  However, we noted no matters involving the
      internal control structure, including procedures for safeguarding
      securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined
      above as of June 30, 1995.
      
      This report is intended solely for the information and use of
      management and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
