RE:   Registration Statement No. 33-45758

Gentlemen:

      I have served as counsel to the Phoenix Asset Reserve in connection with
the registration on Form N-1A of an indefinite number of its shares of
beneficial interest under the Securities Act of 1933 and the subsequent
notification with respect to 1,935,041 such shares sold in reliance upon Rule
24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1995 (the "Shares").

      Based on my review of the relevant materials, it is my opinion that the
Shares are legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable. I consent to the use
of this opinion in connection with the Form 24F-2 to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

                                    Very truly yours,


                                    /s/ Patricia O. McLaughlin
                                        Patricia O. McLaughlin
