                                              January 13, 1997

PIC Investment Trust
300 North Lake Avenue
Pasadena, California  91101

Dear Sirs:

       PIC Investment Trust, a Delaware business trust (the "Trust"),  is filing
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission a Rule 24f-2 Notice  containing the
information  specified  in paragraph  (b)(1) of Rule 24f-2 under the  Investment
Company  Act of 1940 (the  "Rule").  The effect of the Rule 24f-2  Notice,  when
accompanied by this opinion and by the filing fee, if any, payable as prescribed
by  paragraph  (c) of the Rule will be to make  definite the number of shares of
beneficial  interest sold by the Trust during the fiscal year ending October 31,
1996 in reliance upon the Rule, if any (the "Rule 24f-2 Shares").

       We have served as counsel to the Trust since its  inception.  We have, as
counsel, participated in various corporate and other proceedings relating to the
Trust and to the Rule 24f-2 Shares. We have examined copies, either certified or
otherwise proven to our satisfaction to be genuine,  of its Charter and By-Laws,
as currently in effect,  and a  certificate  issued by the Secretary of State of
the State of Delaware  certifying  the existence and good standing of the Trust.
We have also  reviewed the Trust's  Registration  Statement on Form N-1A and the
form of the Rule  24f-2  Notice  being  filed  by the  Trust.  We are  generally
familiar with the corporate affairs of the Trust.

       The Trust has  advised  us that the Rule  24f-2  Shares  were sold in the
manner  contemplated  by the  prospectus  of the  Trust  that  was  current  and
effective  under the  Securities  Act of 1933 at the time of sale,  and that the
Rule  24f-2  Shares  were sold for a  consideration  not less than the par value
thereof  and not less  than the net  asset  value  thereof  as  required  by the
Investment Company Act of 1940.

     Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

     1. The Trust has been duly organized and is legally existing under the laws
        of the State of Delaware.

     2. The  Trust is  authorized  to issue an  unlimited  number  of  shares of
        beneficial interest.

     3. The Rule  24f-2  Shares  were  legally  issued  and are  fully  paid and
        non-assessable.

       We hereby  consent to the filing of this Opinion with the  Securities and
Exchange Commission together with the Rule 24f-2 Notice of the Trust, and to the
filing of this Opinion under the securities laws of any state.
