Columbus, Ohio 43219
Subject: The Riverfront Funds, Inc. -- Form 24F-2 Annual Notice of
Securities Sold Pursuant to Rule 24f-2

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the registration by The Riverfront Funds, Inc. (the
"Fund") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an indefinite number
of shares of capital stock, par value $.001 per share, it is our opinion that
the 416,584,780 shares of capital stock of the Fund made definite by the
above-captioned Notice were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable,
assuming that such shares of capital stock were paid for and issued for the
consideration described in the Fund's Registration Statement on Form N-1A, as
the same may be amended from time to time.
Sincerely,
BAKER & HOSTETLER LLP
