Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have informed us that you intend to file a notice on Form 24F-2 (the
"Notice") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
pursuant to Rule 24f-2 (the "Rule") under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, making definite the registration of 23,352,565 of your shares of
beneficial interest, no par value (the "Shares"), belonging to your Loomis
Sayles Growth Fund, Loomis Sayles Small Cap Fund, Loomis Sayles International
Equity Fund, Loomis Sayles Global Bond Fund, Loomis Sayles Municipal Bond Fund,
Loomis Sayles Growth & Income Fund, Loomis Sayles U.S. Government Securities
Fund, Loomis Sayles Bond Fund and Loomis Sayles Short-Term Bond Fund, sold in
reliance upon the Rule during your fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.
We have examined your Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the "Agreement
and Declaration of Trust") on file in the office of the Secretary of State of
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and are familiar with the action taken by
your Trustees to authorize the issuance and sale from time to time of your
authorized and unissued shares of beneficial interest at not less than net
asset value. We have also examined a copy of your By-Laws, an executed copy of
the Notice and such other certificates, documents and records as we have deemed
necessary for the purposes of this opinion.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been
duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.
Loomis Sayles Funds (the "Trust") is an entity of the type commonly known
as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders
could, in certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations
of the Trust. However, the Agreement and Declaration of Trust disclaims
shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Trust and requires that
notice of such disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation or instrument
entered into or executed by the Trust or its Trustees. The Agreement and
Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of the property of the
particular series of shares for all loss and expense of any shareholder held
personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder of
that series. Thus, the risk of shareholder liability is limited to
circumstances in which that series of shares itself would be unable to meet its
obligations.
We consent to this opinion accompanying the Notice when filed with the
Commission.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Ropes & Gray
