Gentlemen:
You have requested my opinion for use in conjunction with a
Rule 24f-2 Notice for Scottish Widows International Fund ("Trust") to
be filed in respect of shares of the Trust ("Shares") sold for the
period ended May 31, 1997, pursuant to the Trust's registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 33-35081)
("Registration Statement").
In its Registration Statement, the Trust elected to register
an indefinite number of shares pursuant to the provisions of
Investment Company Act Rule 24f-2.
As counsel, I have participated in the preparation and filing
of the Trust's amended Registration Statement under the Securities Act
of 1933. Further, I have examined and am familiar with the provisions
of the Declaration of Trust dated May 23, 1990, ("Declaration of
Trust"), the Bylaws of the Trust and such other documents and records
deemed relevant. I have also reviewed questions of law and consulted
with counsel thereon as deemed necessary or appropriate by me for the
purposes of this opinion.
On the basis of the foregoing, it is my opinion the Shares
sold for the period ended May 31, 1997, registration of which the Rule
24f-2 Notice makes definite in number, were legally issued, fully paid
and non-assessable by the Trust.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Rule 24f-2 Notice referred to above, the Registration Statement
of the Trust and to any application or registration statement filed
under the securities laws of any of the States of the United States.
The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the
United States and the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and I
am expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other
jurisdiction.
Very truly yours,
/s/ S. Elliott Cohan
