Re: The Torray Fund
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Torray Fund (the "Fund") is a business trust organized under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts with its principal place of business in Bethesda,
Maryland. The Fund is an open-end diversified management investment company
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). This opinion relates to
units of beneficial interest ("shares") of the Fund, without par value, sold in
reliance upon Rule 24f-2 during its fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, 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 the shares which have been offered under a Prospectus 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 and the 1940 Act.
We are of the opinion that such shares, when sold and issued in return for the
payment described in the Fund's Registration Statement, were legally issued,
fully paid and non-assessable by the Fund.
Very truly yours,
cc: Mr. William M Lane
