Gentlemen:
You have requested my opinion in connection with the registration by
RIMCO Monument Funds ("Trust") of an additional 78,287,837 Shares of
Beneficial Interest ("Shares") pursuant to Post-effective Amendment No. 6 to
the Trust's registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 33-40428). The subject
Post-effective Amendment will be filed pursuant to Paragraph (b) of Rule 485
and become effective pursuant to said Rule immediately upon filing.
As counsel I have participated in the preparation and filing of the
Trust's amended registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
referred to above. Further, I have examined and am familiar with the
provisions of the Declaration of Trust dated April 1, 1991, ("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 that:
1. The Trust is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
2. The Shares which are currently being registered by the
Registration Statement referred to above may be legally and validly issued
from time to time in accordance with the Declaration of Trust upon receipt of
consideration sufficient to comply with the Declaration of Trust and subject
to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, and applicable state laws regulating the sale
of securities. Such Shares, when so issued, will be fully paid and non-
assessable by the Trust.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as a part of the Trust's
registration statement referred to above and as a part of any application or
registration statement filed under the securities laws of the States of the
United States.
States
States and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and I am expressing
no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Jay S. Neuman
